Pros: -3.9ghz, 6 core (Bulldozer modules =/= hyperthreading), 6mb L2 and 8mb L3 cache -No real need to overclock at 3.9 unless you're doing something CPU intensive, and since most games are GPU dependent you'll be set at 3.9 -Will not bottleneck any GPU -Came with Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon

Cons: -The stock fan is garbage and you will definitely need to buy a new one -With the aftermarket cooler this processor stays at a constant 20C for me on idle and no higher than mid 30s/ low 40s when playing games

Overall Review: Recommended for budget builds. If you're gonna overclock you might as well get the 6300 though.

Pros: -Cheap ($135 when i bought it) -Nice color display and settings -Nice size -Thin bezel -2 hdmi and vga port

Cons: -Pixel pitch at the 23.8" is too big and you can see the pixels if you're too close to the screen -Horrible stand, the monitor vibrates and shakes every time you type something, though you quickly stop noticing it. -Speakers are garbage obviously -Does not recognize display once it goes to sleep or computer restarts, you have to press the button to get it to display again...

Overall Review: At $135 it was too good of a deal to pass on, but if you have more money do yourself a favor and get a $200 one with a good stand cause this one will drive you crazy.

Pros: Really quite and nice design. Decent price and comes with a big tube of thermal paste.

Cons: The thing itself is easy to install, but when you have to mount it on top of the processor it's a nightmare unless you suspend your computer between two tables to be able to get under it. You have to keep pressure on the 4 screws on the back when putting the heatsink on otherwise the screws just fall back and you can't screw them into the heatsink. The package also didn't come with something to apply the thermal paste which would have been nice.

Pros: -Sturdy -Dust filters on the front and bottom -2 fans -Great space, though you should remove the pointless HDD case in the middle and put your SSD case on top of the bottom one. You'll get better air distribution. -Everything stays nice and cool

Cons: -At $50 I expected more from it. First of all every other case at this price is painted on the interior and just looks better in general, as well as having USB 3.0 on the front -No usb 3.0 -No filters on the side -Noisy fans

Overall Review: I bought another 140mm fan with a filter for the side and together all the fans make the case very loud, though I don't care too much about that.

Pros: -Great BIOS software -Great for overclocking -Very nice heatsinks/ temperature control -3 x 2.0 PCIe (16x)

Cons: -The "PSU" fan isn't controlled from BIOS so you need a software to control that fan (which probably be your back exhaust fan) -The bottom PCIe slot will not fit bigger GPUs unfortunately, or they will sit right on the PSU which is terrible for heat distribution and exhaust. I recommend you use the middle slot for your card.

Pros: -Fully modular -10 year warranty -Cheap ($60 when I bought it) -80+ Gold -Nice sturdy design (the handle is actually useful) and cable management

Cons: -Loud (have fun going to sleep with your computer turned on) -12v rails only go up to 20amps (it should be enough for pretty much anything, though very high end GPUs need more)

Overall Review: Definitely recommended for budget builds.
