Pros: Good budget board Easily overclocked Ships with cool software - EasyTune6 No problems finding drivers

Cons: Different revisions support different BIOS, and different BIOS support different CPU's (elaboration in Other Thoughts)

Overall Review: This board is a revision 5.1 and is shipped with BIOS version F3. The processor I bought is the AMD FX 4170 Quad Core @ 4.2 GHz. I bought this particular CPU because it was listed in GIGABYTE's CPU support list, but this CPU is supported in BIOS version F5a, and that BIOS is only compatible on motherboard revision 3.x Basically, I didn't do enough research, so my CPU is underutilized - the motherboard had it set to about 2.81 GHz. To solve this, I clocked the CPU up to about 3.8 GHz in the BIOS, because the FX 4150 is supported on BIOS F3 and it runs at 3.8 GHz. I have a nice aftermarket cooler and my temps are nice. It's at 19C right now. I'm actually thinking about taking the clock up to the 4.2 which this CPU is native for. So overall, this is a fine board - 16GB RAM, PCI 2.0, sata III. The CPU issue is mostly my fault, but I wish newegg somehow listed the revision type on these boards so that I could have found the correct CPU support list and avoided the overclock as I'm not as comfortable with it as others are.

Pros: - High quality (faux) leather rather than cloth - Headrest - (this one is a huge plus for me) - Firm, comfy cushions - Sturdy frame feels like it will last for a while - Hefty, firm base and solid wheels - Fairly simple assembly that was just a little time consuming - No tools needed for assembly - two allen wrenches are provided in the packaging - Aesthetics are on point for me This is one of the most comfortable chairs I have used. I have been able to use for several hours at a time and not feel uneasy. The bucket seat makes you feel wrapped up in comfort.

Cons: The instructions as not clear as I would have hoped. They seem like they were written by high schoolers. I definitely got by though. There were no notes about the placement of the support pillows or how/where to use the straps. I just kinda did what I thought looked right based off images I found online.

Overall Review: The arm rests are adjustable but not removable. I haven't found this to problematic though. Leaning the chair back feels a little stiff, but I think this will loosen up over time. I realize this is an early review without having been able to really wear in the cushions and see how low the padding will last, but my first impressions are great. If I find that the quality has significant degraded over time more than I feel it should, I'll update this.

Pros: Nice color, looks cool with black DVD drive Internal fans work well I like the blue light on the power button

Cons: My only major con is the size. I found it to be not wide enough; my CPU's heatsink is protruding out the side. So far, I have not been able to place the side cover back on. I need to make some modifications to get it to be able to fit back on. Kinda disappointing. Since the PSU is top mount, I had a time getting the box in there. There's minimal clearance between the cabling on the PSU and the DVD drive.

Overall Review: When assembling my PC I put the DVD and HDD in first, then the motherboard, then the PSU. I think this was a good way to do it, but there was always a space issue. There was lots of situating and adjusting to be done on the inside. I would probably recommend this case, but it was a little tough to get everything situated how I wanted it. The silver lining for this was that I didn't have to pay full price, there was a nice sale going on. Had I paid more for this, I might see it with lesser value.

Pros: Nice aesthetics, blue 8GB @ 1333

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I bought this RAM for a new build during a sale promotion. I've never had a PC with 8GB of RAM, and so far I really enjoy it. My machine is able to juggle multiple tasks very well and it's very snappy. I am very pleased with this memory.

Pros: Modular Awesome packaging Mesh around the cabling

Cons: Currently none

Overall Review: Provides excellent power to my machine. I had no problems installing it and everything has worked perfectly, as expected. High quality PSU

Pros: -Very pretty machine. -Stays quiet and cool. [I still bought a cooler though.] -Turbo feature is excellent. -The touch buttons are responsive and practical. -Plays all Valve's Source Engine games very well. [All maxed graphics, highest res, full AA, HDR, the works. Great FPS on these settings as well.] Crysis ~Med-High. -Amazing service from Newegg - shipped very fast.

Cons: So far, I haven't come across anything to complain about. Some people don't like the way the OS is partitioned to the C: drive by itself, leaving the majority of the Hard Drive space on the D: drive. I thought this would be kind of annoying, but I can honestly say it's not that bad, I'm used to it now. I kind of like it actually. Just make sure whenever you install something, your re-route it to the D:. I just created another "Program Files" folder on the D:. Pretty simple. Or you could just reformat, but I didn't really want to. -A possible con, would be the cramped keyboard setup, but I don't mind as much considering I use my number pad a good deal.

Overall Review: I had shopped around for laptops for a good 3 or 4 weeks before I found this computer on Newegg. After saving the money to put down for this computer, another six months or so later, I purchased this little beauty. It was very worth the wait. I haven't had any problems with the BIOS. Everyone was talking about this giving people some trouble. This made me a little skeptical, because I had never flashed the BIOS, but so far, after about 6 weeks or so, I have had no problems whatsoever. I am very pleased with Newegg. They delivered quick with no disappointments. I bought this laptop for school and the occasional video game or two, runs excellent in all areas. I am very pleased, and I recommend this laptop to anyone who needs great power for a great price. [Sorry if this was a bit long, just trying to give possible buyers all the info they need to make a wise choice and purchasing this laptop.]
