Decent Keyboard

Pros: Backlighting is pretty cool, not too dim or bright and its adjustable. (Fn + ESC to toggle brightness) Definitely an upgrade from they old keyboard I used to have. Construction seems solid enough and it showed up in a week. Design is pretty sleek.
Cons: The enter key is iffy. You will end up hitting backslash accidentally until you get used to it, since for some reason the enter key is pushed further to the right than on a standard keyboard.
Overall Review: For the price, its a pretty good keyboard and it matches my PC's blueish theme, so I'm happy. If you'll be thrown off by the odd enter key, go with something else. Not really a con, but by default the LEDs are set to fade in and out repeatedly, which is distracting and weird. I can't see a use for something like that but hey, whatever floats your boat. At least you can change it.
*update, 1 stick no good, RMA

Pros: One stick appears to be functioning properly.
Cons: After a day or so of running solid, I got repeated fatal bluescreen crashes from Windows 7. Ran windows memory test and hardware problems detected with the RAM. Currently RMAing the sticks.
Good psu

Pros: Powers everything I need, including my GTX660 without a hitch. The blue LED is cool and goes with the one installed in my case, so I like it. The cables are wrapped nicely.
Cons: None so far
Overall Review: A good budget non-modular psu for my first gaming build
A good budget processor

Pros: Mine is currently OC'd to 3.48 ghz and runs stable at ~55C during Prime95's torture test, so I could even go a little higher. Runs games very nicely for my needs, coupled with a GTX 660 gpu. So far Windows has had no issues with all those cores.
Cons: None so far, runs as fast as I need it to.
Overall Review: Supposedly the stock heatsink is loud and not very good. I have a larger aftermarket heatsink so I really can't comment on that. I'm not really biased towards AMD or Intel, but this processor is the best value for this speed that I could find, so I bought it. This was for my first gaming PC build.
Solid motherboard

Pros: BIOS is very easy to navigate and tweak. Looks cool, comes with a cheap little fan you can mount on the north bridge if you want to. The two external USB3.0's are nice to have as well. Overclocking is super simple.
Cons: The north bridge is pretty big, so I had to remount my aftermarket heatsink and it still barely clears. Just something to be aware of if you're investing in a larger than stock heatsink.
Overall Review: Head to ASrock's website and update all the drivers, since some of the ones on the disk are no good.
Cool Case

Pros: Fits everything I need, including my massive heatsink. I like the blue LED's in the front, but they are maybe a tad bright and distracting if your PC is sitting on a desk. The airflow is adequate and cable management was pretty easy. Comes with all the screws and standoffs you'll need.
Cons: The top case fan isn't working. Won't take mobo header power or molex from the psu. Kind of annoying, so I docked an egg.
Overall Review: I used this for my first gaming build, its a good case for a budget build.
