PNY Optima 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR 400 (PC 3200) Desktop Memory Model MD2048KD1-400
PNY Optima 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR 400 (PC 3200) Desktop Memory Model MD2048KD1-400

Pros: The timings aren't mentioned in the description, they are @ 200 MHz 3.0-3-3-8 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS) and @ 166 MHz 2.5-3-3-7 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS) so not bad, better than the ones i originally intended to get

Cons: Be nice to have some heatspreaders(not really a con)

Overall Review: I have no intentions of overclocking so i cant speak on that.

Most Critical Review

It's ok

Corsair Carbide Series CC-9011050-WW SPEC-01 Black ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case
Corsair Carbide Series CC-9011050-WW SPEC-01 Black ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case

Pros: I do not own one, but I've built 2 systems for friends using it.. It is very aesthetically pleasing, it's mostly tool less for hard drives and ODDs. All screws needed are included. It doesn't weigh 40lbs empty like my case. The standoffs for ATX are pre-installed. It fits a GTX780, and R9-390.

Cons: Cable management, the struggle is real. Unless you are using a single 3.5"/2.5" drive, and ODD, wiring quickly becomes a hassle. Even with Modular PSU's. As noted in another review, no cutout ABOVE the motherboard for the 8pin CPU power cable means you have to run it over the board, or route it first and mount the mobo on top of it. Rear side panel leaves little room for cables. Using both top fan spots leaves little room for wires and requires fans be installed afterwards. With a tower air cooler one was blocked. An AIO cooler allowed both to be used in the second build.

Overall Review: Overall, I dreaded the second build after building #1. It was essentially the same experience as it had 2 HDDs/SSDs and an optical drive. Which if you think about it, it's kind of sad. Both used modular PSU's. I'd hate to see what a non-modular build would be like. I don't know if the Spec-02 or 03 are any bigger, but if they are get one those. IMHO this would be okay/fine if you have custom PSU cables like the ones from Cablemod, which are much more flexible than standard PSU cables. PSU cables were the worst part of the build. But if you can afford those, you can afford to get a case with more room.

Phanteks Enthoo Primo PH-ES813P_SGR Black / Green Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Phanteks Enthoo Primo PH-ES813P_SGR Black / Green Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Size, Customization, Looks great. Everything fit with room to spare in front.. Even with the bad wiring job I did thanks to my old SATA data cables and the not quite long enough SATA power cables, the rear panel went on easily enough. Update: After owning it for over a year, my opinion remains the same. It's a sweet case. The green LED looks nice, as does the LED fans, combined with a BitFenix Magnetic LED Strip the case looks awesome, and my blue and black Asus boards colors don't stand out like a sore thumb.

Cons: Size, 40lbs empty. It's quite an effort to pick it up and move it. Even more so with parts in it. I realize I could've removed it to wire it, but the res mounting plate made connecting SATA data cables a curse worthy task.

Overall Review: This is a knock on my custom cables from Cable mod. The SATA Power cables were a pain to run for my SSD's. I need to order some longer round SATA data cables as well, my old case required 90 degree ones due to space on the back side, I had to use an old ugly one for one of my SSDs, (it's like a powder blue) due to space limitations for the SSD mounts.

The cooling is a bit overkill, but not a bad thing.

ASUS ROG GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card STRIX-GTX1060-6G-GAMING
ASUS ROG GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card STRIX-GTX1060-6G-GAMING

Pros: It's got 980 level performance, using less juice to do it. Serious overkill on the cooling Due to the overkill, it's also inaudible at full load even with an overclock applied and a custom fan profile. It has 8pin PCI-E power so it won't be power starved. I believe the FE only has a 6pin.

Cons: Size, the cooler make this thing huge. It's both longer and wider than the Gigabyte Windforce x3 7950 it replaced in my friends computer. If it were much longer it wouldn't have fit in his Corsair Vengeance C70. And the only other con is price. It costs more than the FE with FE clocks. -1 Egg

Overall Review: For my friend whom the card was for, the overkill cooling is a good thing. His computer room does not have A/C and during benchmarking it with Firestrike it maxed at 60c both Stock and with an OC and custom fan profile. Which is quite a feat considering how warm it was in the room.

BitFenix BFA-MAG-30GK15-RP Magnetic LED-Strip 30CM 15 LED Green

Pros: The 4pin adapters I bought worked, the lights look awesome in the case. The lights are hooked up to my Enthoo Primo LED on/off button and it works.

Cons: Still no cons.

Overall Review: Like it enough I ordered another 2 sets.

I got my item

The item came within a reasonable amount of time, they lost 2 eggs for 0 tracking info. The item appears to work, my headset for iThings does not(mic on a PC), not the cable/adapters fault.
