Seagate Backup Plus Slim 500GB Portable External Hard Drive with 200GB of Cloud Storage & Mobile Device Backup USB 3.0 - STCD500102 (Black)
Seagate Backup Plus Slim 500GB Portable External Hard Drive with 200GB of Cloud Storage & Mobile Device Backup USB 3.0 - STCD500102 (Black)

Pros: Slim portable drive is good for backing up data also. I have had a situation in the past were my main hard drive failed with all my music and pictures also other data. If I had not backed up all my data on my backup drive I would lost all my memories and time spent collecting all the data I have. My old backup drive severed me well however it was USB 2.0 and vary large and needed a power plug into the wall. This drive is vary slim and you only need the USB 3.0 for data and power, just one plug. The drive also comes with Dashboard 2.0 software it is Protect; Setup backup plans and protect your data, and Share; Upload pictures and videos to your social network, also Save; Download pictures and videos from your social network. Well the drive worked well even if you have to hold the drive in your hand when you are using it and it has not given any trouble, it is vary light weight it also looks strong, and the USB cord is vary thick.

Cons: The USB cord length is only about 1 1/2 foot long.

Overall Review: The performance was good with USB 3.0 transferring all kinds of data, it started at 52 MB/S then fell off to 37 MB/S The performance was ok with USB 2.0 transferring all kinds of data, it started at 44 MB/S then fell off to 22 MB/S

OCZ Platinum 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2P10664GK

Pros: memory works fine now after a month of waiting and now the 3 kit pass mem86 at stock timings

Cons: I sent in my rebate still have not received it yet and it's been 3 months

Overall Review: their quality control is terrible how could i get to bad kits in a row.

LG 240 Hz monitor works great.

LG 27" Gaming Monitor Full HD 1920 x 1080 1ms (GTG) 240Hz 2xHDMI DisplayPort USB Hub AMD RADEON FreeSync G-Sync Compatible Flicker Safe Backlit LED Height, Pivot, Tilt Adjust 27GN750-B

Pros: No dead pixels. Monitor works great, like the colors a lot, G-Sync compatible works sweet. With 240Hz and 240 FPS there is zero blurring with fast mouse movement on gaming first person shooters.

Overall Review: I would recommend this monitor for people that want the edge in gaming.

Good gaming with IPS panel monitor 144Hz, at 144 FPS reduced motion blur

ASUS VG279Q 27" Full HD 1920 x 1080 1ms MPRT 144 Hz DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort FreeSync (AMD Adaptive Sync) Built-in Speakers Height Adjustable Gaming Monitor
ASUS VG279Q 27" Full HD 1920 x 1080 1ms MPRT 144 Hz DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort FreeSync (AMD Adaptive Sync) Built-in Speakers Height Adjustable Gaming Monitor

Pros: 1080p, 144Hz allows my Nvidia RTX 2070 to peg 144 Frames per second with BFV on medium graphic settings for much reduced motion blur in gaming. If you want to see what blurring is for your self? Visit blur busters web site, select Motion Test Tools, testUFO animation. Then look at the 3 FPS motion test speeds to see the motion blur reduced with faster FPS. You can also speed up pixels per second speed to simulate game and mouse movement speed. I love the IPS panel viewing angles, colors are great black is black white is white also. Also this monitor is Nvidia G-sync compatible, it works perfectly.

Cons: I took one egg off for a stuck pixel.

Overall Review: This monitor is great I have been waiting a long time for IPS panel 1080p 144Hz flat screen. Wish they made 1080p 180- 240Hz IPS panel.

Good overclocker

ASUS TUF Z370-Plus Gaming LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z370 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS TUF Z370-Plus Gaming LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z370 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Overclocked my i7 8700k to 5.0GHz and memory G.SKILL 32000 14-14-14-34 to 3866 16-16-16-36 easy. The sale price of $125.98 was sweet. Good motherboard for overclocking and just daily usage. The BIOS is easy to understand for use.

Cons: I don't like that the motherboard LEDs will not go off when the PC is powered down.

Overall Review: Edit: updated the BIOS to version 0805 and it would not start up. Would not do Step 1: Turn on the system To Use Crash Free BIOS 3. So it Bricked the motherboard.

The Z370 HD3 is sweet for overclocking.

GIGABYTE Z370 HD3 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z370 HDMI USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE Z370 HD3 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z370 HDMI USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Overclocked my i7 8700k to 5.0GHz and memory at 3600 15-15-15-35 easy. The memory overclocking will train down if you set the overclock to high like 4000 speed it went down to 3600 from memory that was 3200 14-14-14-34 speed to start with. I like the sound clarity. Easy to use BIOS for overclocking. Gigabytes technical support is great they will test the questions I have and get back to me. Sleep mode works great. I like the quiet fan speed when not under load.

Cons: Edit: After overclocking Gigabyte Z370 G.SKILL Ripjaws v 16GB F4-3200C14D-16GVK to 3600 15-15-15-35 an a month of testing with 6 instances of HCI MemTest and not changing my memory overclock settings it has come down to a weird problem with rebooting my Gigabyte z370. Some boots HCI MemTest runs fine without error for 100-400%. Then sometimes after testing for ~1-20 boots I have all kinds of errors with HCI MemTest preliminary test or at 1%-30% after the last good test. After doing some research I found that Gigabyte Z370 has a known problem with the sub memory timings changing when rebooting.

Overall Review: I would highly recommend this motherboard for overclocking or just stock use.
