Intel Core i7-960 - Core i7 Bloomfield Quad-Core 3.2 GHz LGA 1366 130W Desktop Processor - BX80601960
Intel Core i7-960 - Core i7 Bloomfield Quad-Core 3.2 GHz LGA 1366 130W Desktop Processor - BX80601960

Pros: fast out of the box have it running stable at 4.2 on water idol temps 36c load temps 56c, didn't have to raise the vcore very much at all

Cons: price per performance but the ease of oc could be a reason for this

Overall Review: im sure i could get it higher but there is really no need

Most Critical Review

Kingston 4GB microSDHC Flash Card with Adapters & USB Reader Model MBLYG2/4GB

Pros: the micro flash works, as well as the sd adapter

Cons: the usb adapter stopped working on the first use. would get unbearably hot which was it's ultimate downfall,

Overall Review: of coarse that was the purpose for getting the adapter pack with many choices for transferring data to a micro sd

great value

Intel Pentium G3258 - Pentium Haswell Dual-Core 3.2 GHz LGA 1150 53W Intel HD Graphics Desktop Processor - BX80646G3258
Intel Pentium G3258 - Pentium Haswell Dual-Core 3.2 GHz LGA 1150 53W Intel HD Graphics Desktop Processor - BX80646G3258

Pros: This is a great little processor. It does exactly what i ask of it and keeps the temps low. I have it paired with an ASRock h97 pro 4 motherboard and it booted right up with the processor and only needed a quick bios update to allow some limited overclocking. currently running at 4.2 with stock cooler.

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: This is not an end all be all processor and has its own nich. It will not ourperform the i5s or i7s. what it will do is work like a horse until it hits its wall. It is a Dual core Pentium and reminds me of the old school Pentium D's from way back.

NZXT Crafted Series Vulcan Black Steel / Plastic Gaming mATX Computer Case
NZXT Crafted Series Vulcan Black Steel / Plastic Gaming mATX Computer Case

Pros: super awesome case, in a matx size. this case has lots of width to allow for taller cpu coolers as well as room for a 10 in video card, currently have a 6950 in mine. it is painted inside as well

Cons: this case uses rivets to hold some of the internals in makes it a tad harder to modify but it can be done, just would have been easier if there were screws. this case is also larger than a standard matx case if that matters to some (im not complaining though)

Overall Review: this is a large matx case that allows the builder some creativity. i currently have a 240 thick xspc radiator mounted inside with a 6950 and my i7 960 on that loop. it is a bit cramped but it still looks very clean and the handle is still usable.

ASUS Rampage III Gene LGA 1366 Intel X58 USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS Rampage III Gene LGA 1366 Intel X58 USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: this mobo rocks, it has beaucoup connectors and great features. it is a matx so it allows for someone to build a smaller system that still can pack a punch.

Cons: the northbride is scalding hot. can not figure out why. without a fan directly over it it will shut the pc down.

Overall Review: this is a great mobo that allows of the builder to think outside the box. but the northbridge is super hot. you could fry an egg on it
