Not Bad

EVGA 01G-P3-1556-KR GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) FPB 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
EVGA 01G-P3-1556-KR GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) FPB 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: Massive upgrade from the EVGA GT 430 that was in this computer. I have a basic case, and no problems at all with over heating. The games run great on Ultra graphic settings. So far no real issues with this device.

Cons: The EVGA overclocking software does not allow me to change the gpu/memory settings of this card.

Black Slim External USB Blu-Ray Player, External USB DVD RW Laptop Burner Drive

Pros: light weight

Cons: Driver disk that came with the player had a Trojan on it. Would not play Blu-Ray - even with Blu-Ray software installed

Overall Review: I would not recommend purchasing this product.

Remote issues

Roku 3500R Streaming Stick (2014 Model) - Certified Refurbished
Roku 3500R Streaming Stick (2014 Model) - Certified Refurbished

Pros: It is nice to have several channels in one place. I have had no issues with the Roku stick and using my phone as a remote for it.

Cons: The remote that comes with it is junk. It loses connectivity to the Roku stick quite often. I have updated the firmware on it and the issue persists. The remote also drains battery like crazy. I have put 2 sets of new batteries in it in just 2 days.

Overall Review: I gave only 2 eggs because of the remote issue.

No issues

EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G1 120-G1-1000-VR 80+ GOLD 1000W Fully Modular
EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G1 120-G1-1000-VR 80+ GOLD 1000W Fully Modular

Pros: Modular is the way to go for better cable management. 135mm fan is very quiet. Cables are a bit stiff, but this makes for better control when managing them. I have had no loss in voltage with the system at full load running the PCMark 7 stress test for 1 hour. I bought the 1000w psu just for an extra sense of security for power usage and over clocking.

Cons: 4pin cpu connector cable is a bit too short to run proper cable management in a full tower case. Would have given 5 eggs if not for this issue.

Good for the price

COOLER MASTER R4-S2S-124K-GP Silent Case Fan (4-Pack)
COOLER MASTER R4-S2S-124K-GP Silent Case Fan (4-Pack)

Pros: The 4 pack bundle is great for the price. The 4x 120mm fans greatly reduced my system temp, an average of about 8C-10C reduction.

Cons: Slightly loud at load, but that is to be expected.

Graphics crash after memory install

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9Q-16GBXL
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9Q-16GBXL

Pros: I can't really right any pros, since my graphics driver is crashing after the installation of this memory. I do like the look of this memory on the Z97 Gaming 7 Mebo

Cons: I installed this memory and now my graphics driver is crashing. I have performed a secure format of my drive and re-installed all of the core applications, my graphics is still crashing. My Mebo is an MSI Z97 Gaming 7, this memory is on the supported list. I have also contacted Nvidia about the crash, granted im not sure if they are giving me the run around, but it does seem odd that i did not have this issue before the memory replacement.

No contact

I would not recommend this seller. When the item had to be returned for an embedded Trojan virus, the seller would not respond at all. Newegg had to handle the return.
