Pros: Powerful graphics card that gets the job done. I can run WoW with all settings on ultra and have 100+ fps. Skyrim looks beautiful

Cons: The card is heavy and sags a bit on the mobo. Occasionally I'll have an issue with games where if I've been playing for a while fps will take a nose dive and I have to restart my computer in order for them to get back up to normal. Not a huge issue, but still an inconvenience.

Amazing case for the price

Pros: Very stylish Cable management was very easy Stock fans are great The clear panel shows all the parts you want to show off (mobo, cpu, gpu) and hides all the boring bits (hard drives, disc drives) After adding 2 120mm fans to the top, there was still plenty of clearance for the mobo.

Cons: My only real concern is that without serious, effort the top 5.25" bay is needed for cable management of the USB, LED, power button, etc. I'm sure with a lot of finicking I could have gotten the cables to sit on top of my disc drive, but since I was only using one of the 4 bays I decided to just install my drive in the second bay.

Awesome PSU

Pros: Very easy to install. Fully modular means that I only have to have the cables that I actually need in the PC resulting in very nice cable management.

Cons: None

Good RAM

Pros: Relatively fast and easy to install

Cons: Packaging was a bit iffy. It came as a bare drive inside a small white box. This box was wrapped in bubble wrap and then placed inside a slightly larger box with folded up paper as a spacer. Not the greatest packaging, but it got here in one piece so I can't really complain.
