fantastic
Pros: Fantastic board, built extremely well. Has more than enough sata ports for me to fit all my drives on. Had my gskill 16gb of ram ran at 1600 without any adjustments in bios, mind you this kit was not on the support list for the mobo
Cons: None
Overall Review: Bought for a long awaited build along with a 3570k, it is an amazing board and future proof as well, I recommended it to a friend on his build as well.
Dead pixel, dead pixel, oh and yeah dead pixel on arrival
Pros: High resolution, lots of desktop real estate, its night and day difference to the WV246H I had from Asus. Great stand though the swivel is a bit dodgy.
Cons: Very little room for cables in the back, had to work a bit to get the DVI cable in there not a huge deal though. Dead pixel in lower right quadrant of the display on arrival, extremely visible during black screens and darker load screens of games.
Overall Review: This display and review would have been a 5 star had I not received it with a dead pixel. And from what it seems I'll have to be with a display with a dead pixel or without a display at all until it gets replaced, extremely infuriating considering what this thing costs, havent had issues with Asus before but there is always a first time for everything.
Fast
Pros: Extremely fast CPU, does exactly what I expected it to do. This probably the CPU you can get for your money at the moment. There are a few others out there with more features and a higher price but unless you are using them professionally there is no reason to spend the cash, this is what you need. Will recommend this to family and friends.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Running at 29c idle on with a Hyper 212 EVO inside a Thor V2 white case, I cant rave on enough about how amazing this switch was from my old PII x4 940BE
Fantastic Ram
Pros: Great ram, and I managed to catch it on sale, paid for 16gb cheaper than I got my 4gb kit for my previous pc a few years ago.
Cons: Ran at 1333mhz out of the box, though this kit is not on my mobo support list. Turned on the xmp1 profile and its not at 1600 stable, without any problems whatsoever.
Overall Review: Great clearance as well using a hyper 212 evo.
Must buy
Pros: Fantastic case, with PLENTY of room. Looks fantastic and came with all the hardware needed to setup my new pc.
Cons: None really, I wish the paint didnt scuff so easy as I did get a few knicks on it already from my chair, but I guess thats my fault.
Overall Review: None
Great buy
Pros: Great PSU, handling my 3570k along with a 5850 without any problems.
Cons: None really, maybe price? but its cheap enough.
Overall Review: Great PSU, unless you are heavily overclocking and running multi gpu setups, there is no need to go higher.
