Monster

ASUS - 15.6" AMD Radeon HD 7730M - AMD A10-4600M  - 8GB Memory - - Windows 8 64-Bit - Gaming Laptop - (N56DP-DH11 )
ASUS - 15.6" AMD Radeon HD 7730M - AMD A10-4600M - 8GB Memory - - Windows 8 64-Bit - Gaming Laptop - (N56DP-DH11 )

Pros: The keyboard is illuminated, which is not said in the description. The sound on this laptop is incredible, especially for listening to music. Handles gaming with ease. Tera on almost all max settings run smoothly with no lag. (Probably will run better when I get my hybrid SSD) The actual surface of the laptop feels like metal, but is actual hard plastic. It's sleek and appealing with tones of customization. Overall, the laptop is a monster with any game. 2.1GB's of graphics memory. Windows Experience Index (Windows 8) Processor - 6.9 Memory - 7.2 Graphics - 6.8 Gaming Graphics - 6.8 Primary hard disk - 5.9 (recommend replacing, will expand in cons) Total available graphics memory 6117 MB Dedicated graphics memory 2560 MB Dedicated system memory 0 MB Shared system memory 3557 MB Since this is an APU the 2GB dedicated card is seperate from the 7660G that is embedded.

Cons: The laptop arrived with 3 stuck pixels, but thanks to ASUS's warranty that will soon be fixed with a new LCD screen. ASUS's customer support is extremely fast and friendly. The hard drive should be replaced. It really drags this computer down. Most traditional laptop hard drives are 7200 RPM, while this one suffers at 5400. I made an investment of $100 in a Seagate Momentus XT solid state hybrid drive to put in this and then this laptop will be perfect.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Video quality is very poor. Noticed speckled resolution from my monitor.

Overall Review: Didn't need it anyways.

Best motherboard for the price

ASUS X99-A LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS X99-A LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: This motherboard is the best motherboard you can currently get that supports DDR4 for the price-performance. ASUS's patent pending design for CPU sockets allows you to overclock better than ever before. They're award winning designed bios are flawless on this board, it appears they've revamped them a bit for the DDR4 boards. Clear error codes: This board has a 2 digit/number display built right on the board. No more listening for beeps, if you have an error, it will tell you right there so you can look it up in the motherboard manual. OC Potentional: Just letting the board do it's own thing it OC'd my 5820k to 4.3GhZ. I have my ram OC'd at 2500 (from 2333). Definitely one of the more attractive looking boards.

Cons: May or may not require a bios update if you are experiencing troubles with it detecting ALL of your memory. I bought 16GB originally and it was only picking up 8GB, after the bios update it seemed to fix it. I haven't found anything about it online, so it must not be a very common problem.

Worst keyboard I've ever owned

Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Mechanical PC Gaming Keyboard– Cherry MX Blue (RZ03-00381900-R3U1)
Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Mechanical PC Gaming Keyboard– Cherry MX Blue (RZ03-00381900-R3U1)

Pros: Heavy Durable

Cons: I originally bought a razer keyboard because I had the original Death Adder, which my brother is now using. Great mouse. However, this keyboard has been a COMPLETE NIGHTMARE. First of all... It doesn't come with a wrist rest or even an option from razer to buy a wrist rest. The way the keyboard sets makes your hand start to fall asleep. I bought a wrist rest, which helps, but it still happens me to occasionally. Second... They keyboard likes to press random keys at different times. In which I have to unplug/replug the keyboard back into the USB. Volume Controls are impractical. FN and volume keys are on totally different sides of the keyboard. The overall design and improper functionality of the keyboard is just terrible. I will probably never buy another razer product again.

Amazing system for an amazing price

SAMSUNG 1000W 5.1 CH Home Theater System with 3D Smart Blu-ray Player - HT-EM54
SAMSUNG 1000W 5.1 CH Home Theater System with 3D Smart Blu-ray Player - HT-EM54

Pros: I had a Sony 5.1 system that broke and decided to try this Samsung system out on a Black Friday Deal. Wow! Just wow! My room is fairly small, so I do not need to turn it up at all. There are tons of apps you can get for it, control it with your smart phone, link up your computer. The most user friendly smart anything I have ever owned. Built in Wi-Fi, so there's no need to buy any adapter like most blu ray players. It's very fast to load apps like Netflix and Pandora. It has an FM radio with it as well along with it's own built in Internet Radio (aside from Pandora). For $150, I could not be happier.

Cons: Does not automatically pick up inputs when switching sources, but it's just a couple extra button presses. No biggie. Samsung also shipped me 2 right surround speakers instead of a right front and right surround, not sure if that makes any difference, but it sounds great.

Overall Review: Should have gotten one earlier. My old sony system was $100 and last 4 months before the box broke and went into protect mode.

Prefer them over my 5.1 System

Logitech Z623 400 Watt Home Speaker System, 2.1 Speaker System - Black
Logitech Z623 400 Watt Home Speaker System, 2.1 Speaker System - Black

Pros: I was hesistant about buying these as I hadn't actually used 2.1 speakers since 2004. My Logitech 5.1 Z506 had recently broken in my move and I needed new speakers. They are really fantastic. I listen to a wide array of music, from classical to heavy metal and the speakers handle it fantastically. They handle highs and lows much better than my previous Z506. Logitech uses a 360 system which most speakers seem to boast about, but I have a hard time noticing the difference with other speakers. These speakers take the cake though! I can be lying on my bed which is to the right of both my speakers and it still feels as if they were all around me. Video games are amazing on these! Not only are they fantastic for music, but video games. I bought these speakers at my electronic store, they were displaying these playing CoD:Ghosts. The main reason I bought them because of how crisp and clear the sound was in the game. Much better than my Z506 that I had before. I price matched them with another site which had them for $100, which is what I paid for my previous system.

Cons: No treble knob, but not worth taking an egg off.

DO NOT BUY, COUNTERFEIT MERCHANDISE!!

I bought a PS3 controller, though it's a very well done counterfeit. I cannot pair it with my bluetooth dongle on my PC. And the triggers are made very poorly. I am contacting NewEgg about this immediately.
