Good Memory

CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model CMK32GX4M2D3600C18

Pros: Standard memory no RGB Good price

Cons: non

Overall Review: I wanted 32gb memory for a good price and Corsair delivered. I didn't want RGB and I didn't want to pay extreme prices. I wanted decent solid memory not too fancy and the speed is good enough for quality gaming and video streaming. It may not be the fastest but it get the job done enough and I am happy.

First M2

Western Digital WD BLACK SN750 NVMe M.2 2280 1TB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 64-layer 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) WDS100T3X0C
Western Digital WD BLACK SN750 NVMe M.2 2280 1TB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 64-layer 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) WDS100T3X0C

Pros: Fast for PCIe 3.0 Been using WD for years with great success

Cons: Why did you put the SN number on the drive itself instead of the box?

Overall Review: When registering for warranty I found out too late that they put the SN number on the drive itself which I already installed. Was not going to take out just for that so I guess if it goes bad I hope the honor warranty. Other than that I have good success with WD in the past and still use a old HD today.

Great MB

GIGABYTE B550 AORUS PRO AC AM4 AMD B550 ATX Motherboard with Dual M.2, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.2 Gen 2, Intel 802.11ac, 2.5 GbE LAN, PCIe 4.0

Pros: Had everything I need in a MB Excellent quality Fast Heat sinks for M2 drives Price for the time Already bios ready for 5600x updated out of box No need for back-plate (were you hook up usb, network, kb)

Cons: Didn't use Wifi, had no need for it I always direct connected

Overall Review: Great MB for my 5600x with two M2 drives with heat sinks for both drives. Easy to setup memory profile using Corsair memory. A plus was the bios was already updated for new CPU, not the latest but didn't have to go through with all the bios update headache. I know GB had some troubles recent but I have to say that their MB are top notch.

Excellent CPU

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X - Ryzen 5 5000 Series Vermeer (Zen 3) 6-Core 3.7 GHz Socket AM4 65W None Integrated Graphics Desktop Processor - 100-100000065BOX
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X - Ryzen 5 5000 Series Vermeer (Zen 3) 6-Core 3.7 GHz Socket AM4 65W None Integrated Graphics Desktop Processor - 100-100000065BOX

Pros: Fast CPU Comes with cooler Bought for a good price

Cons: None

Overall Review: Had a i3570 for nine years and upgraded to a 5600X. Very fast CPU and good for streaming and gaming. I have always been a value gaming PC gamer and when this chip hit the market I knew this was the one.

Good Drive for Blu Ray USB

Corsair 128GB Voyager Slider USB 3.0 Flash Drive (CMFSL3B-128GB)
Corsair 128GB Voyager Slider USB 3.0 Flash Drive (CMFSL3B-128GB)

Pros: Decent speed drive, definitely not the fastest but fast enough for $30. I can put a lot of movies on it which is why I bought it and 5 yr warranty for peace of mind.

Cons: For someone to carry around on their key chain this is not for you. But, to keep in as a drive for a computer, laptop, TV, Media player then your in business.

Overall Review: It was on sale for $29.99 and 128 GB just what I was looking for. My first USB 3.0 so I hope it last.

Asus 970 Rocks

ASUS GeForce GTX 970 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support G-SYNC Support Video Card STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5
ASUS GeForce GTX 970 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support G-SYNC Support Video Card STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5

Pros: I was kinda skeptical about the auto fans but I am impressed on how it works and how cool the card is coming from a AMD 6950. I play WOT and the card gets up to 50 C and fans run at 20%. I only heard coil wine when the card first started up for the first time and that's it. The last Nvidia card I owned was the 6600GT and I forgot how much I like Nvidia drivers compared to AMD.

Cons: None at this time

Overall Review: I have a Corsair 400R case with five fans, Intel 3570 non K version with Crucial Ballistix Tactical 8GB, Asrock Extreme 4 MB.
