Awesome

SeaSonic SS-520FL2 520W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS PLATINUM Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: Excellent build quality. Nicest psu I've ever had, and well worth the little bit extra in price compared to getting a psu that just does the job. Packaging was over the top, but in a good way, and I still can't believe the weight difference compared to my cheap 750 watt unit. This thing is heavy and feels solid. Also, the cables are all black including the 24 pin which is done very nice.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I'm sold on the SeaSonic brand, and quality you get with this name. Can't believe I waited so long to give it a try. Also, platinum rated, fan-less psu's are amazing, idk if I already mentioned that.

660 Ti

Pros: Price was right, although I'm crossing my fingers on the rebate. So far I've been playing Hitman and have a minimum 42fps on ultra 1080p so it works just right for me.

Cons: The cooler is loud honestly but it works. Maybe a more expensive card with dual fans would be worth it.

Fast

Intel Core i5-3570K - Core i5 3rd Gen Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Intel HD Graphics 4000 Desktop Processor - BX80637I53570K

Pros: Plenty of other reviews about how great this chip is. We'll see how high it overclocks once I get a cooler on it. Stock cooler doesn't seem bad at default speeds and is atleast quiet. Coming from amd coolers I like it better. Liking the low power usage too.

Cons: None that I could find, this seems like a great choice.

Fast!

Intel 520 Series Cherryville 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSC2CW120A3K5

Pros: This SSD is so much faster than my old kingston unit and having 120gb of storage is more than enough. I thought boot time was quick before, now it's just unreal. Even the sata cable it came with was nice lol.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Hoping for Intel quality to make this one reliable. I know my previous ssd wasn't.

Just what I needed

Intel 2200BNHMWDTX1 PCI Express x1 Centrino Advanced-N 2200 for Desktop IEEE 802.11b/g/n Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates
Intel 2200BNHMWDTX1 PCI Express x1 Centrino Advanced-N 2200 for Desktop IEEE 802.11b/g/n Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: Very low price. The formfactor is perfect, doesn't take up any extra space. Cord is the perfect length. Picks up 5 extra networks and has 100% signal on my home network compared to my previous $20 card. The software it came with works perfect.

Cons: None.
