Seagate Barracude 7200.14 Review

Seagate Desktop HDD ST3000DM001 3TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Seagate Desktop HDD ST3000DM001 3TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: - Large Space - Cheap Price

Cons: - Different Format - Not for a beginner user

Overall Review: If you format it with the normal windows format, it will max out to 2 TB. You have to format into a new universal format to get the full 3 TB. I wont go into technobabble. Basically if your just looking for a hard drive to plug and play, this isnt it. NOT RECOMMENDED for new users.

Asus MoBo M5A99FX Review

ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: - Smaller Motherboard - USB 3.0 - 3 PCIe slots - Lots of fan connections - Price

Cons: - Terrible placing of the MoBo power connectors.

Overall Review: Great mother board, great price, perfect for my system. My only complaint is why someone put the power connection to the processor at the very top. I had to run a cable around my graphics card and stretch it to the top right of the board (next to the onboard usb, network, etc) - Minus an egg

ASUS DirectCU II Review

ASUS DirectCU II Radeon R9 270X 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Video Card R9270X-DC2T-4GD5
ASUS DirectCU II Radeon R9 270X 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Video Card R9270X-DC2T-4GD5

Pros: - Ultra graphics setting on every game - High memory - 3.0 Ready - Price

Cons: - Very large in size. - Occasional Micro Stutter - Lots of heat

Overall Review: I think its a great graphics card in comparison to other graphics cards on the "same level". I run all my games on ultra settings just fine. However i dislike the massive size of the card and i highly dislike the placement of the power connectors. Its right next to the heat dissipation bars and your power wires will generally come close to touching the bars. I almost bought a 2nd one.

AMD Fx9590 Review

AMD FX-9590 - FX-9000 Series Vishera 8-Core 4.7 GHz Socket AM3+ 220W Desktop Processor - Black Edition - FD9590FHHKWOF
AMD FX-9590 - FX-9000 Series Vishera 8-Core 4.7 GHz Socket AM3+ 220W Desktop Processor - Black Edition - FD9590FHHKWOF

Pros: - High Processing Power - Low Price - 8 Core - Comes with the ability to overclock to 5 Ghz

Cons: - Power Hungry 220 Watts - Doesnt benchmark as good to other comparable processors in CERTAIN categories.

Overall Review: Besides the power hungry nature of this beast, it performs VERY well. Ive had AMD loyalty for a long time. I was thinking of going Intel, but for a processor thats comparable to this you would have to spend a couple hundred dollars more.

Hydro H80i Review

CORSAIR Hydro Series H80i High Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 120mm
CORSAIR Hydro Series H80i High Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 120mm

Pros: - Inexpensive - Self contained system A. Includes pump inside B. Coolant already inside and sealed C. Power ready to go - Doesn't require alot of power

Cons: - Fans get really loud when they "spin-up" - One of the fans rattle. - Hoses arent very flexible

Overall Review: Ive had this product for 2 months now. (how can you really truly test a product within 30 days?) It was a really great buy. It was a very tight fit in my case (my fault). Worth it instead of having to design your own coolant system. My regrets are the fans are way too loud and one of the fans rattles (thus causing more noise) when it "spins-up"
