What a beast

ASUS MAXIMUS VI FORMULA LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX gaming board with double-sided ROG Armor, 23C-degrees cooler CrossChill and 120dB SNR, 600ohm audio
ASUS MAXIMUS VI FORMULA LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX gaming board with double-sided ROG Armor, 23C-degrees cooler CrossChill and 120dB SNR, 600ohm audio

Pros: .Can watercool the motherboard .7 fan connectors (all independent). One of them is next to the actual opening for where the fan next to the motherboard goes. Also, there is a second situated near where if you were going to install a H100 would go. Very flexible .BIOS is to die for. One click mods? I'm in! .Can add wifi (not sure why you would want to) without sacrificing an extra pci-e slot.

Cons: Diminishing returns. Anyone would tell you that a motherboard that's about $100-150 would do the job good enough whereas buying this is splurging.

Overall Review: A motherboard is like a good foundation. My previous purchase did not have a frontal USB 3.0 connector. Therefore, the purchase of the VI formula hit all the points I was looking for, and them more. If you are going to spend good money, I would say spend it on the items that get modified with less frequency. A good motherboard could last you a long time. I still have friends running 4 and 5-series GTX video cards and can still run the latest games (for you that don't know, those are 3 and 4 year old cards on motherboards as old as those). HDD and other peripherals might be changed easier, but motherboard changing is a full rebuild step. Why not get something that you won't have to touch for years to come? (btw I'm a Joe Shmoe...just my personal oppinion here)

biggest garbage

Rosewill RDCR-11003 - 3.5" 74-in-1 Internal Card Reader with USB 3.0 Port
Rosewill RDCR-11003 - 3.5" 74-in-1 Internal Card Reader with USB 3.0 Port

Pros: None. This piece of garbage does not work

Cons: All of it. Cheap, horrible design that it not compatible with any motherboard I try to pair it up with. A total garbage

Overall Review: I would prefer to spend money on a vasectomy rather than in Rosewill. 0/10 will never buy again

Not bad

Netgear ProSafe GS105 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch, GS105NA
Netgear ProSafe GS105 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch, GS105NA

Pros: Can't complain.

Cons: Used to have the same model but DIED after 4 month of use. Garbage equipment

Overall Review: I would go with another option, but this was the cheapest

Best video card, ever.

EVGA 03G-P4-2881-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card
EVGA 03G-P4-2881-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card

Pros: Monster video card. I'm running fraps at 60-100fps throwing anything at it. Very quiet

Cons: Price.

Overall Review: If you want to have the latest and baddest, this is the card for you. Even though you could SLI, you don't need to (but open to do it later on).
