Best Headstet on the Market

Sony PULSE Wireless Stereo Headset - Elite Edition for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and PS Vita
Sony PULSE Wireless Stereo Headset - Elite Edition for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and PS Vita

Pros: The overall construction and durability of this headset is second to none. Very well made, clean lines, and pleasing to the eye as well. Nice weight to the headset without being too heavy. The cushion that fits around your head is a nice soft material. Sound quality is fantastic. The sound is quite noticeably better than several other headsets I have owned, including the previous Sony Headset. What I like the best I think, is the built in microphone. I never have to worry about snapping a boom off or have to constantly maneuver the microphone out of my way when I am playing games, all the while your voice is getting distorted. I have had several comments from friends while playing asking me if I had gotten a new headset because the speech from my microphone was super clear, it was like we were talking in person. I can't ask for much more that that. The bass Impact is a great feature, but to be honest I don't use it all the much. There is a slider on the headset where you can control how strong or how weak you want this. I just turn mine down low, enough to have some impact. When you have it turned up to the max, you will definitely know, as the bass hits pretty good and does rumble the eardrums. Having this turned up to the max though for extended periods of time, it should be noted that it will drain your battery quicker. Numerous features to use with the headset. Different sound settings accessible from a touch of a button on the headset. Another feature I enjoy is the sound/voice toggle. When in game you can use this slider to manipulate how loud you want to hear something. If there is someone in your party that just wont shut up, aside from muting him you can turn up the music to drown him out. Vise Versa, if you need to hear a party member, switch to higher voice and drown out the in game music. Some have complained about battery life. I haven't had any problems with using mine so far. As I have stated using the Bass Impact will shorten your gaming time. On low, or almost off, I can get 6 hours. One tip, I use a Ipad charger. Plug your headset cable into the charger and it charges in what seems to be half the time from the PS3.

Cons: I have not run into any problems as of yet. My only issue with the headset is that there are so many features on the headset around the earphones themselves, that it does take some time wearing them on a consistent basis to get accustomed to where everything is located on the headset. I seem to be always fishing for the on/off switch and I'm hitting the microphone mute or something.

Overall Review: Love the Bluetooth capabilities. Who want to be wired nowadays. You can connect these to my computer, play ITunes, go out and cut the grass. Range is about 25 to 30 feet. Will work with the PS4, Confirmed.

Pros: Nice gift, game looks good, however have not redeemed it yet.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I was reading some other reviews that state you have to have some Anniversary edition update of Windows in order to play this game. I'm not sure if that is true although, Gears of war is not really my cup of tea anyways. I will probably never use this.

Amazing Board. Easy Installation!

GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: This motherboard has many options you can utilize. I believe there are 6 or 7 SATA ports at 6GB. The board also has RGB lighting and LED effect which is a nice touch if you are into that sort of thing. Plenty of power phases to overclock. Sound is better than I expected. The Gigabyte utility suite is actually quite a nice feature. I personally thought I wouldn't use these, however after installing the suite, I use them quite often. They give you useful information about your system bios, fps, temperatures, overclocking and you are also able to configure the back plate LEDS from here as well. The board also comes with a digital easy to read codes that are displayed to tell you what may be wrong with the board if you run into problems.

Cons: The plug that connects to the back plate for the LEDS, which then connects to the motherboard, seems to be a bit short. It does in fact reach, and is adequate length, however, it takes some time to manipulate it into place as it is a tight fit.

Overall Review: I would recommend this motherboard to anyone looking for high end quality with numerous options for configuring. I purchased the Rev.1.0 and I believe this is now a Rev1.1 option. The only difference I believe is the Bigfoot Killer Network LAN. this was no a big deal to me. I would also like to point out that, if you but this motherboard , only use the BIOS updates that matches your revision, (IE Rev. 1.0), updating the bios from other revisions will corrupt the board and make it unstable. If you go to the Gigabyte website, everything is quite easy to understand. Do not download the F20 bios update as you will not be able to go back to previous versions. Please no this. I have currently updated everything although I have stayed at the F8 and my board has had no problems.

There is a reason this receives 5 Eggs. Buy It!

Intel Core i7 6th Gen - Core i7-6700K 8M Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1151 91W BX80662I76700K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 530
Intel Core i7 6th Gen - Core i7-6700K 8M Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1151 91W BX80662I76700K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 530

Pros: Bought this over Thanksgiving Holiday as part of a Combo deal which included a Gigabyte Motherboard and G Skill Trident Z 3400 memory. Being that this was a combo, I ended up paying $299.00 for the i7-6700K. Installation was super easy. Once Installed, the CPU is quite a powerful force to be reckoned with. I use it for for gaming, and programs such as Auto CAD and Inventor for work. I have experienced no hiccups so far as renderings render smoothly and flawless.

Cons: Price on these can be high at times, although, check New Egg frequently as they often have deals or combos that will allow you to pick one up at a cheaper price.

Overall Review: I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to upgrade or overclock. If given the chance to go back and do over, I would purchase the 6700K again. I am quite impressed with the CPU. It must be said that, the non unlocked 6700 will work just as well if you are not looking into over clocking your CPU. This will save you a few dollars. This is my second time purchasing a "K" CPU from Intel, and have no regrets. I look at it this way, buying an unlocked "K" CPU is like an insurance policy. You may not need it right now, but a few years down the road when new chips come out, you can always cash in on that policy and do the overclock and you will be right back in the game without having to drop another 300 or so for another CPU.

Great Timings and Latency

G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-16GTZB
G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-16GTZB

Pros: Memory sticks are aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Great quality. Matched up to the XMP profile on Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 Mobo and forget about it. These have great timing and frequencies. Someone previously posted that these do not work with the Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 Motherboard. I have had no issues with mine. I am using the Rev.1.0, and just updated what needed to be updated.

Cons: None So far.

Overall Review: Higher profile than the G Skill Ripjaws, although did not pose a problem mounting on a Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 Motherboard and attaching a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO.
