Most Critical Review
CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i Extreme Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 240mm
CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i Extreme Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 240mm

Pros: Keeps processor at room temperature.

Cons: Did not fit in the Corsair 500R case that it was supposed to. The only possible way is if the board was a micro ATX. The processor also arrived with some light physical damage, which makes me feel not-so-great about overall longevity. The stock fans are also extremely loud at their highest speed, but very quiet at idle.

Overall Review: Overall I'd recommend it.

AMD FirePro W5100 100-505737 4GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Workstation Video Card

Pros: Low power, quiet, good value for a mid-level workstation card comparative to a quadro.

Cons: Be aware - the drivers for this card are not so great. This is unfortunate, since driver support is one of the main reasons to purchase a workstation card. Also be aware that this card is extremely unstable IF your processor has integrated graphics. It works well with the x99 chipsets that I've put it in.

Overall Review: Buy it if you need a mid-level workstation card, are on a budget, and have a processor that does not have intel integrated graphics.
