Best 2.1 Speakers

Corsair Gaming Audio Series SP2500 High-power 2.1 PC Speaker System
Corsair Gaming Audio Series SP2500 High-power 2.1 PC Speaker System

Pros: The best 2.1 speaker system I have heard!

Cons: NONE

Overall Review: I've have been using the logitech z-680 until the subwoofer blew out on me, which then I upgraded to the logitech z-5500 and after a few years, both front channel satellites stopped working. After doing some research and reviews I decided to get these Corsair and I'm so glad I did! The bass is almost as powerful as the logitech's but the sound on the Corsair is much richer, distortion free and just overall crystal clear.

Most Critical Review

Too bulky

EVGA M020-00-000234 Superclock CPU Cooler
EVGA M020-00-000234 Superclock CPU Cooler

Pros: Definitely cools and keeps temps under 40c at high loads.

Cons: Way too bulky. It takes up one of my Ram slots. If I ever want to add more ram I'll have to replace the heat sink.

Overall Review: Makes sure you have enough clearance between the cpu slot and the ram slots before buying.

Very Warm. But normal, according to Asrock.

ASRock Taichi Radeon RX 7900 XT 20GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 ATX Video Card RX7900XT TC 20GO
ASRock Taichi Radeon RX 7900 XT 20GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 ATX Video Card RX7900XT TC 20GO

Pros: This card at 1440p is absolutely stunning on max settings no matter what I throw at it. Except Crysis remastered. Only game that requires me playing on high due to Ray tracing.

Cons: Hot!

Overall Review: I have the Corsair 4000D airflow case, with 5 static pressure fans. Junction temp reaches 99c! I reached out to Asrock and they said its normal. In fact, they said the card can support up to 110c junction temp! Eeesh. Thats is, while I have the performance bios switch engaged. Havent tried the quiet bios option yet. However, the gpu temps themselves stay around 70c. Regarding of the junction temp, I havent noticed any thermal throttling and everything plays smooth as butter!

Almost Perfect

Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced - High Air Flow Full Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and All-Black Interior

Pros: BIG! spacious and plenty of room for anything you want to fit into it. Quiet with plenty of air flow. Sleek and modern. Tool less design. very easy to install all your gadgets without having to hammer and chisel your way into any slots and cervices.

Cons: no dust filters! I had to use my wife's old panty hose to cover up the fans as makeshift dust filters. I would have given it 5 eggs if it came with dust filters.

Overall Review: Definitely would recommend this case but would give caution. Buying this case will be a bi-weekly maintenance of cleaning the dust out from the inside.

Amazing.

SAPPHIRE Radeon R9 290X 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Tri-X OC(UEFI) Video Card, New Edition 100361-4L
SAPPHIRE Radeon R9 290X 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Tri-X OC(UEFI) Video Card, New Edition 100361-4L

Pros: Playing games on max settings such as , farcry 4, Daiblo 3, GTA 4... soon 5, Battlefield and COD... no lag or hiccups. My case is a bit cluttered so the temps reach into the mid 70's.. I think thats normal though.

Cons: When fans kick into 100% it gets a bit loud. I don't mind it but I know for some that can get a bit annoying.
