Good Power Supply

Tuniq Potency PSU-POT650-BK 650 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
Tuniq Potency PSU-POT650-BK 650 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Quiet Black Works

Cons: No Problems whatsoever.

Overall Review: It works, that's all I need from a power supply. It's been powering: AMD Phenom II x4 EVGA Geforce 9600 GT Samsung 500GB 7200rpm HDD Gigabyte GA-MA790-UD4P Mobo for a year and a half now (about 10+ hours a day), and I have had no problems with it at all. The logo is also pretty cool looking IMO.

Most Critical Review

Ok while it lasted

Seagate FreeAgent Go 500GB USB 2.0 2.5" External Hard Drive ST905003FAA2E1-RK Tuxedo Black
Seagate FreeAgent Go 500GB USB 2.0 2.5" External Hard Drive ST905003FAA2E1-RK Tuxedo Black

Pros: Decent size, small, powered strait from USB.

Cons: Every once in a while the drive would not be recognized, and I would need to unplug it and plug it in again to access it. After consistent use for work and school for half of a year, I plugged the drive into my laptop, like I have every day prior, and the drive started beeping and was not recognized. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and the LEDs started flashing and the beeping continued. I sent it back to Seagate ($10 shipping - the cheapest I could) and a week later they sent me an e-mail saying that it was not covered by the warranty (even though my warranty ends sometime in 2014) and that they will send it, untouched, back to me along with the shipping costs.

Overall Review: I will never buy a Seagate product again, their RMA (if it should even be called that) is just a ploy for you to waste money it seems (especially since they want you to send it back in a $30 box that is an incredible amount better than the one they send the product to you originally in).

Good Monitor

ASUS VK246H Black 24" HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 1000:1 (ASCR 20000:1 ) Built-in Speakers w/ 1.3m Pixel Webcam

Pros: Nice picture quality Large Screen

Cons: Webcam (yes, a con, since I am never going to use it, and it just made it cost a little more because the model without the webcam was not in stock for the holidays last winter).

Overall Review: Good monitor no broken pixels buttons are a little annoying to press (not enough to be a con) i wish the connections were not facing down (since it's a little hard to plug stuff in) as with all TFT LCDs, the vertical viewing angle is not that great

Great Motherboard

GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: It has everything i needed and some extra.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: The Motherboard had an extra hole for a screw, and my case (the Antec 300) didn't have a hole for a standoff there, and the motherboard was bending a little when I put in the 20-pin Power plug and IDE cable, but was pretty easy to just hold in place.

Big, but not too big

Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Has a lot of space inside the case, and the airflow in it is great (i added an extra 120mm intake fan in the front of the case).

Cons: Came with a pretty big scratch on the left side panel, but it doesn't bother me, it does it's job, and does it well.
