Perfect

CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory Model CMY16GX3M2A1866C9R
CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory Model CMY16GX3M2A1866C9R

Pros: -Performs admirably, sitting on the desktop takes around %15 percent of memory, where my old took 40%. -I could disable the paging file with no problems. -Performs tons of tasks at once. -Looks amazing inside my AMD build.

Cons: It wasn't clocked to the advertised speed, but then again, I find that memory never is. Easy enough to overclock by yourself, and if you don't know how, there are plenty of tutorials online.

Overall Review: I bought this off a hunch, because I saw a fairly new series and it was on quite a nice sale. No regrets so far.

Most Critical Review

Good for low end gaming

AMD FX-4100 - FX-Series Zambezi Quad-Core 3.6GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W Desktop Processor - FD4100WMGUSBX
AMD FX-4100 - FX-Series Zambezi Quad-Core 3.6GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W Desktop Processor - FD4100WMGUSBX

Pros: It runs many games very well, and for everyday use this would be a great budget choice. When it came to gaming, I had to upgrade to the FX 8350. If you're going to be playing new games and want to run on high settings, make the jump of $90 and buy the 8350. On Arma 3 I had a hard time running this on even the lowest settings with 100% resolution.

Cons: Not great for gaming.

Overall Review: Everyday use, 5/5 Gaming, 3/5

Fantastic for downloading and gaming

Rosewill RNX-N150HG - Wireless N150 Wi-Fi Adapter - IEEE 802.11b / 11g / 11n, (1T1R), Up to 150 Mbps Data Rates, USB 2.0 Interface, 4 dBi High Power Detachable Antenna

Pros: -Fantastic speeds -Connection never drops -Better than my old Cisco/Linksys PCI card

Cons: If I have it plugged into my computer at startup, it freezes at my BIOS splashscreen. I assume my computer might be trying to boot off of it. Not a big problem, I just unplug it and once Windows 7 is up, I plug it back in. -Drivers come in a Mini-CD.

Overall Review: If you need a quick replacement, this is a great adapter, for a great price.

Fast & Reliable

XPG SX900 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) ASX900S3-256GM-C
XPG SX900 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) ASX900S3-256GM-C

Pros: -Very fast (Faster than the overpriced Samsung 840, which I also own). -Tons of space for the price. -Came with mounting kit. -Same physical size as other SSD's.

Cons: -A little bit heavier than my 840, but I nothing anyone is going to care about.

Overall Review: I wish I had bought this instead of the 840. Currently I'm keeping my OS and other apps on the 840, and all my games are going on the SX900.

You're getting what you're getting

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-4GBXL
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-4GBXL

Pros: You get exactly what is described in the details of the memory. Nothing more, nothing less. If that's what you require, then this is a good match. No issues whatsoever.

Cons: Computer uses half of it most of the time.

Overall Review: I'm going to buy 2x8GB memory from Gskill, because this wasn't quite enough for me. However if you only need 4GB, this is a great buy, especially for the price.

Great Preformance

EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 03G-P4-3661-KR
EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 03G-P4-3661-KR

Pros: -Runs Quiet -Max temp I've reach is 70 C, well within tolerance. -Preforms great in games. Haven't had a challenge yet.

Cons: A bit big, but nothing really to complain about.

Overall Review: I've paired this up with the AMD FX 8350, and of course, ran Crysis. With everything at Very High, and Filtering at 16xQ, I've managed 60 FPS, with slight dropping in some places. I never hit below 30.
