Most Favorable Review

Very well thought out.

Phanteks Enthoo Pro Series PH-ES614P_BK Black Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Phanteks Enthoo Pro Series PH-ES614P_BK Black Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Havent built a computer in 10 years. If not all manufactures have done this they are really behind. *Cable Management *Single Fan Connection Point for all fans *Dedicated power supply airflow/compartment *Rugged Case *Air Intake Filtration, Massive front fan.

Cons: None so Far.

Overall Review: Supports a H110iGTX and more easily.

Lots o Power

CORSAIR HXi Series HX1000i 1000W 80 PLUS PLATINUM Haswell Ready Full Modular ATX12V & EPS12V SLI and Crossfire Ready Power Supply with C-Link Monitoring and Control
CORSAIR HXi Series HX1000i 1000W 80 PLUS PLATINUM Haswell Ready Full Modular ATX12V & EPS12V SLI and Crossfire Ready Power Supply with C-Link Monitoring and Control

Pros: Modular Cable Design. Connects to motherboard via USB for pulling power performance specs and custom fan control. Fan is quite!

Cons: Fan is literally so quite because it is not on half of the time. I thought this was an issue at first but this is actually an advertised feature. So don't freak out and think you got a faulty product if it feels warm and the fan is not on...

Overall Review: Looks great. Corsair Link is some pretty cool software giving you overall hardware temps and fan controls.

Lots of Memory

CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory Model CMY16GX3M2A1866C9R
CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory Model CMY16GX3M2A1866C9R

Pros: I'm not really that knowledgeable about memory sticks. All I know is I have (4) of these for a total of 32Gb. I never use more than 10%

Cons: When it comes to memory, as long as they work I'm good.

Overall Review: Chose corsair over other brands because of style and reputation.

Awesome Board

GIGABYTE GA-990FX-Gaming AM3+ AMD 990FX USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-990FX-Gaming AM3+ AMD 990FX USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Cool features: -USB-C connection -LED Debug indicator w/ power switch -LED backlighting -SATA M.2 connections... not sure exactly what that is but it seems to be new

Cons: Contacted Gigabyte for some trouble shooting issues that ended up having nothing to do with the board, however, the debug indicator was giving me symbols that did not have references.

Overall Review: I chose this board because it seemed to have cutting edge connections and sockets. Motherboards are the key to how you will be able to upgrade in the future. I was hoping to take a few components from my old comp but this board does not support ATA connections. Not the boards fault just be aware.

More Speed than I know what to do with!

AMD FX-9590 - FX-9000 Series Vishera 8-Core 4.7 GHz Socket AM3+ 220W Desktop Processor - Black Edition - FD9590FHHKWOF
AMD FX-9590 - FX-9000 Series Vishera 8-Core 4.7 GHz Socket AM3+ 220W Desktop Processor - Black Edition - FD9590FHHKWOF

Pros: I haven't built a PC in 10 years... Unless you are doing some sort of editing or logic intense stuff you will never get this card above 20%.

Cons: It does get pretty hot. Definitely get a good liquid cooler. H110iGTX works great.

Overall Review: I would never spend the money for an equal Intel. I don't know why there is such a comparison in cost vs performance between the two companies but I believe this card gives you more than what you pay for.

Awesome Cooler

Corsair Hydro Series H110i GTX 280mm Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
Corsair Hydro Series H110i GTX 280mm Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

Pros: Very quite, works great with an AMD 9590, the Corsair Link interface is pretty cool when also paired with the HX1000i.

Cons: None so far!

Overall Review: Cool LED color changer for the Corsair light. First liquid cooler I have used. Super easy install and setup. I would buy again easily.
