MSI GeForce GTX 470 (Fermi) 1280MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card N470GTX Twin Frozr II

Pros: I loved this card it ran everygame i threw at it on high settings with 1920x1080. Very good customer service :).

Cons: I had to RMA this card because two of the fan blades broke off i dont know how that happend but customer service worked it out with me and im still waiting for the card to get here.

Overall Review: Very good solid card i wish the fan blades were stronger though. It also ran BF3 alpha max settings @ 1920x1080 i had like 60+ fps :)

Most Critical Review

Smells toasty

APEVIA ATX-AQ700W-BK 700 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply
APEVIA ATX-AQ700W-BK 700 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply

Pros: It runs fine but not for GAMERS or OVERCLOCKERS!!!!!

Cons: This PSU is only for the general use. This means you shouldnt use it for gaming or overclocking. I love to play games like Battlefield Bad Company 2 on all high settings and other games on high settings but this PSU smells like burning plastic when put on load. It has a 700w sticker but it only really pumps like 450W or something around their. It got soo hot underload it started burning my leg. It ran my set up but it struggles. AMD 1090T @ 4GHz Nvidia 470GTX OCed to 800/1600/1800 G.Skill 8gb DDR3 1333 1 x HDD 1 x CD drive 3 x 120mm LED fans 2 x 200mm fans 1 x 250mm Fan and more fans to come.

Overall Review: Im upgrading to a corsair 850W TX ill see how that goes. Not even worth to RMA this PSU.

No sound and No post on dual channel

GIGABYTE GA-880GA-UD3H AM3 AMD 880G SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-880GA-UD3H AM3 AMD 880G SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Supports AM3/AM3+ with bios update.

Cons: Well let me start off by saying this motherboard hates dual channel or maybe just G.Skill ram 1333 DDR3 ripjaws 4gb each. Mobo boots up with 1 stick but refuses to boot up with a total of 2 ram sticks on dual channel even on DIMM1 and 3 and DIMM 2 and 4 no boot at all. Second I have never ever touched the headphone jacks on this mobo ive always used USB headsets with sound cards built in. So bought a razer headset with the jacks and go to plug them in no sound soo i tweeked the settings on windows still no go nothing then plugged in a set of speakers still nothing this motherboard has a ton of issues.

Overall Review: My mobo didnt even come with an I/O shield and no IDE cable oh well i guess its just bad luck. Overall stay the hell away from this mobo!!!!!!!

One of the best CPU coolers ive owned

CORSAIR Hydro Series H60 (CWCH60) High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
CORSAIR Hydro Series H60 (CWCH60) High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

Pros: I love this CPU cooler. I Overclocked my AMD 1090T to 4ghz keeps it really cool my idle temps are 27c and my load temps are 49c. buy it!!!!!

Cons: The 120mm fan they give you breaks if you tighten the screws too much. Soo insted i bought 2 120mm fans from Antec Tricool.

Overall Review: Overall i love this cooler. Just be ready to install aftermarket 120mm fans. I bought this at a local computer store for $10 cheaper

Great buy :)

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition - Phenom II X6 Thuban 6-Core 3.2 GHz Socket AM3 125W Desktop Processor - HDT90ZFBGRBOX
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition - Phenom II X6 Thuban 6-Core 3.2 GHz Socket AM3 125W Desktop Processor - HDT90ZFBGRBOX

Pros: Good stuff here the temps on this thing are very good for a stock heatsink havent OCed it yet. I upgraded from a Q9450 from intel and i noticed huge performance when i played Battlefield bad company 2 i was able to run the game maxed out with AA maxed out @ 1920x1080 res and hitting 60FPS to 70FPS.

Cons: The only thing that made me mad was the heat sink im not used to these clip on heat sinks but when i got it on it was like a shiny whistle.

Overall Review: Very good buy. I would def buy another. I found it about $2 cheaper on another site so i got it off of their :P I have this processor paired with a Nvidia 470gtx it blows any game away

Gotta love Newegg and Nvidia

EVGA 012-P3-1472-AR GeForce GTX 470 (Fermi) SuperClocked 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
EVGA 012-P3-1472-AR GeForce GTX 470 (Fermi) SuperClocked 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: Gotta love Newegg i got one of these on a Open box i love it how it comes with everything no parts missing the box was a little beat up but who cares.. It satisfied me. Also if your wondering DX11 does run with VISTA just download the new DX SDK and your good to go. Also a free game you couldnt go wrong :) (Looks awesome in 1920x1080 res gotta love it :)

Cons: Had a little trouble screwing it up to my case but not a big deal.

Overall Review: Best deal i got this for $180 open box though i would highly recommend getting open box from newegg its perfect nothing different than a new one besides the plastic around the box.
