Worked great

Rosewill RD700 – Stallion Series 700-Watt Power Supply – ATX 12V V2.3, SLI & CrossFire-Ready
Rosewill RD700 – Stallion Series 700-Watt Power Supply – ATX 12V V2.3, SLI & CrossFire-Ready

Pros: This PSU worked perfectly for three years. I never had any trouble with it. It has never been noisy or anything like that. The only times it has made noise is when I travel with desktop across the country. And when I plug it back in it has a static, scratchy noise for a few minutes after the initial boot, and goes away. It has a good amount of spare cables and I did not have trouble with pci-express pins as I've gone through a few video cards. Each cable is sleeved, so the cables are a bit protected. Nice in that way. Overall, I think I may buy a Rosewill power supply again as this one lasted for 3 years (with A LOT of usage). But I'll be looking to see if I can find more energy-efficient and lasting power supplies on the market first.

Cons: The cpu power cable is barely long enough to reach from the psu's spot at the bottom of the case, to the pins at the top of the motherboard. It ended up having to stretch across and lay on top of my large gtx 970 video card. The sleeves on each cable makes them bulky and take up more space in my Mid-ATX case

Great buy

AMD FX-6300 - FX-6000 Series Vishera 6-Core 3.5 GHz Socket AM3+ 95W Desktop Processor - FD6300WMHKBOX

Pros: I have no problem with this processor. It works hand in hand with my ATI radeon 7850 very well on any video game at High to Max settings. The adhesive thermal paste that comes with it works if you're worried about that.

Cons: Too bad it doesn't have 10 cores and works at 100 ghz.

Overall Review: My first time installing an AM3+ socket heatsink, it was a pain putting it in and I was worried I might brake something.

Nice case

Rosewill CHALLENGER ATX Mid-Tower Gaming PC Computer Case, Expansion Ready: Internal 3.5" Bays & External 5.25" Bays, 3 Pre-installed Fans with Side Fan Mount Option

Pros: A well ventilated case for cheap, the fans keep the temperatures inside at 30 degrees, and at 40 when my ATI radeon 7850 goes to work. Enough room for a mess of cords too.

Cons: The installation guide was a JOKE. Honestly, I look at the step to install things in the drive bay and it says "Install Harddrive and tighten screws." no other information. Same for the motherboard step. "Install motherboard"
