EVGA E758-A1 3-Way SLI (x16/x16/x8) LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: After much research I went with this board and I have no complaints. No problems whatsoever and EVGA has excellent customer support and forums with lots of helpful people in case you have questions.

Cons: Could use a few more fan connectors.

Most Critical Review

Not as good as MX518

Logitech G5 7 Buttons Tilt Wheel USB Wired Laser 2000 dpi Mouse

Pros: I like the MX 518 better than this mouse for overall gaming.

Cons: 2000 dpi sounds nice but not really usable in COD4

Overall Review: I returned this mouse. The MX 518 has a better feel for gaming.

EVGA GeForce GTX 285 1GB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card 01G-P3-1281-AR
EVGA GeForce GTX 285 1GB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card 01G-P3-1281-AR

Pros: One of the best cards available. I have 3 of them in TRI-SLI. Even with one card I think you can play any game on max settings. Evga step up program.

Cons: A little expensive. Fans loud when you run them full blast. A little large for people who have mid tower cases. They can run warm when gaming.

EVGA GeForce 9500 GT 512MB DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card 512-P3-N954-TR

Pros: Great card for a system builder or two use as a test card.

Cons: Low power. Not for a gamer

Overall Review: I bought this card when building my new computer just to use until I was sure everything was going to work ok then I upgrades to SLI.

Western Digital WD VelociRaptor WD1500HLFS 150GB 10000 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Almost silent. I have 2 of these in Raid O. Very happy with the performance. Quieter than my 2 year old raptor.

Cons: The mail in rebate. Remember to write the serial number down before installing them. Expensive.

Overall Review: Western Digital has a great marketing scheme to get people to buy these. They really don't offer any decent hard drives for people that don't need a huge amount of storage.
