FX 6300

Pros: Very good performance for the money.
Cons: none......
Overall Review: To JEFFERY W. I though I would write another review because of what you said about the GPU bottleneck. I have two GTX 770 SLI and My FX 6300 does not bottleneck them. The Graphic cards used to be in an i5 setup and also i7 setup. Something is wrong with your overclock, motherboard.... something. I think its only fair to say this so that people looking to buy this processor don't think it will bottleneck, It wont.
LOUD

Pros: AT LEAST IT WASN'T OVER 100 BUCKS
Cons: WAY OVERPRICED, STOCK NORTH & SOUTHBRIDGE FAR BETTER QUALITY, DIDN'T FIT, CHEESY INSTAL, FAN IS SUPER LOUD
Overall Review: I WOULD THINK THIS CHIPSET COOLER COULD BE ALRIGHT IN SOME MOTHERBOARD I JUST KNOW IT IS TOTALLY INCOMPATIBLE WITH MSI G45 DIGITAL (UNLESS YOU WANT TO GLUE THE JUNKY SOUTHBRIDGE ON)
gee tee ex

Pros: This has been a solid card with great performance. I do not have coil whine. I am not bothered with the 3.5gb of vram. I am happy with this purchase.
Cons: If I had coil whine, I would be unsatisfied with this card. The good thing is that if you get one with coil whine, exchange it and enjoy your excellent video card!
Overall Review: It's worth a chance!
hard drive...

Pros: High capacity Runs smooth so far I have more storage! Runs bout as fast as most mechanical drives. I have too much storage now, but I can live with that.
Cons: 36,000 hours!!! 4 years of run time! But I knew that when I ordered, just hoped I would get lucky and get one with low hours!! This backup drive will probably last a long time even though it has a lot of hours... I will find out.
Overall Review: Some reviews say their drive arrived dead, Hope they managed the drive in windows first. Create a new simple drive. Format new simple drive. Ready... System will now recognize the hard drive.
Phanteks A+

Pros: THIS CASE HAS ONLY PROS, It will do just about any setup there is. Plenty of room, While being elegant and efficient. Mine arrived in perfect condition Its just a very fine case in every way.
Cons: I will say that the front usb ports could be better, but they are good. Nothing else bothers me about this case. The front usb ports don't really bother me, just the only thing I can even imagine being a con.
Overall Review: I like how the dust filters do their job. And they are easy to clean. The fan header behind the motherboard is nice to have. The SSD mount behind the motherboard is also nice.
Good Motherboard.

Pros: Good motherboard plain and simple. Easily overclocked an fx 6300 to 4.7gz. Memory works perfectly. Nice bios layout. All of my hardware works as intended.
Cons: This is not a con, but you may want to feel your northbridge heatsink. Mine felt to hot for my liking, I use water cooling for my cpu so that may have something to do with it. I put a little fan pointed at the northbridge heatsink just to be sure that nothing breaks because of not checking the heat.
Overall Review: I feel that I can just spent about 2 minutes and get to 5ghz overclock on this board. That's how confident I felt from overclocking so far!!
