Rosewill R604TSB-N 3 x120mm Cooling Fan Pre-Installed on the TOP,Front and Rear ,ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with 450W Power Supply

Pros: awesome case, clean look, power supply works good, easy build

Cons: tooless things made my disk drive rattle, use screws

Overall Review: my first build, I built 2 systems amd 4600 and 4200 Im very pleased, cheap case does the trick

Most Critical Review

Failed within one week

Rosewill CAPSTONE Series, CAPSTONE-550-M, 550W Semi-Modular Power Supply, 80 PLUS GOLD Certified, Single +12V Rail, SLI & CrossFire Ready, Black
Rosewill CAPSTONE Series, CAPSTONE-550-M, 550W Semi-Modular Power Supply, 80 PLUS GOLD Certified, Single +12V Rail, SLI & CrossFire Ready, Black

Pros: looks good, runs quiet, semi modular flat cables, plenty of connections

Cons: Died in one week, very light use in a older media rig, failed to start after one week, plenty of ventilation in a cool room, no fan, no power, nothing, second rosewill power supply that has died very quickly.

Overall Review: The price is good and the features are good but it seems the quality control is suspect, so if you have time to waste installing and reinstalling power supplies until they send you one that lasts it's probably a good deal, but if you need the rig to run reliably and don't like reinstalling parts every couple weeks maybe spend more and check the reviews, This is making me question the issues I have had in my other rig with a Rosewill power supply maybe that's been the issue all along.

HIS IceQ Boost Clock Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card H795QC3G2M

Pros: runs everygame I have on ultra or highest settings, looks awesome, quiet, looks awesome, runs cool

Cons: wow this is a big card and expensive, I wouldnt mind so much except I paid $250 2 weeks ago and now its $189 and sold out..... kinda sick of the prices dropping everytime I just bought something

great old memory

G.SKILL 4GB DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL5S-4GBPQ
G.SKILL 4GB DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL5S-4GBPQ

Pros: looks nice, works well, allowed me to max out my asrock am3 board and install 64bit win8, huge improvement from xp 32bit and 2gigs of ram Ive been playing BF3 on my old 512 4870 with an athlon 2, 3.4ghz dual core and getting 20-30fps, not bad for old memory, cant wait to see how it runs with my new 3gb 7950

Cons: wow they dont give this stuff away do they? Almost built a new computer instead of buying this, but I hate throwing stuff away that works so I bought the 2 4gig sticks while they are still available, I couldnt even find 4 gig sticks of 1066...the bonus is I cant fit anymore so I'll never have to pay that price again...Phewww

downloaded and installed well

Intuit Quickbooks Premier 2014 - Download
Intuit Quickbooks Premier 2014 - Download

Pros: downloaded quickly and installed correctly on a Win 8.1 computer, I have no prior usage of quickbooks to compare but it seems to work well and the interface is easy to understand and looks pretty slick

Cons: I got this on sale for 250 and I guess I got a good deal but this is pretty pricey for software imo, but hopefully you get what you pay for

cool cables

Rosewill 19.7" Blue Round Serial ATA III Cable with Locking Latch - Supports 6 Gbps, 3 Gbps, and 1.5 Gbps Transfer Rates (RCA-RU-19-SA3-90-BL)
Rosewill 19.7" Blue Round Serial ATA III Cable with Locking Latch - Supports 6 Gbps, 3 Gbps, and 1.5 Gbps Transfer Rates (RCA-RU-19-SA3-90-BL)

Pros: cool looking blue, also round which seems unique and adds a nice look, work well, latches well

Cons: more sizes should be available for better routing, and if you use these on a sata 2 board it may be difficult to plug them in side by side as the latches are in the way, I got mine in but it wasnt easy
