Pros: Looks pretty and was a breeze to install. Price not too shabby either.
Cons: None
DOA
Pros: Blue lights, lots of connectors, 700W for cheap.
Cons: Dead on arrival, horrible packaging.
Overall Review: Unit came dead on arrival. It is packaged very poorly wrapped in bubble wrap and thrown in a box. I didn't even attempt to use it until a few months after my purchase (wasn't very urgent) only to find out that it was dead. I ended up just tossing it and taking it as a loss since it was so long after my purchase I didn't wanna mess with the hassle of sending it back and trying to exchange it. PSUs are always hit or miss and this was definitely a miss for me. 700W for $40? Sounded too good to be true and it was.
Great CPU!
Pros: It was really easy to install and works fantastic playing games etc.
Cons: The heatsink it came with it pretty meh. If you plan on overclocking it definitely invest in a new one. Other than that, nothing at all.
Overall Review: I should have paid a little bit more and got something a little more powerful. This works great for me so far but isn't quite the best around.
DOA AS A DOORNAIL
Pros: Uhm I guess the pro was being that it came to my house?
Cons: The board was dead on arrival. I usually go through reviews when I buy something on newegg and this product looked very hit or miss. I usually get lucky but nope, my ASRock 970 Pro3 R2.0 was dead as a doornail. I did EVERYTHING possible to troubleshoot it. Above and beyond what anyone else would have done and now I'm sending it back for a replacement. I would have just got a refund and got a new board altogether but I got this as a bundle with my CPU and I don't feel like sending it all back. I'm moving at the end of the month and I HOPE i get my replacement by then. If not, uh well idk. I will up the review a few eggs if I get a working one but I'm not counting on it based on reviews.
Overall Review: I should have paid an extra $20 and got a better quality board... I really should have.
Works
Pros: Free with my PSU purchse, lighted scroll wheel.
Cons: Cheap plastic, super light.
Overall Review: Auto bundled with my with PSU purchase for free which was a surprise to me since I didn't even notice. It works like it should. Since my PSU came dead on arrival it was nice that it wasn't a total waste.
Works
Pros: Works, and cheap.
Cons: none
Overall Review: Shoulda got 3
