Great product!

Corsair Certified Hydro Series H110 Extreme Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler (CW-9060014-WW/RF)
Corsair Certified Hydro Series H110 Extreme Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler (CW-9060014-WW/RF)

Pros: Very good cooler, max temps on a i7-920 @ 3.8GHz 1.25v are 40-45c tcase. Came packaged like new.

Cons: I had to remove the thermal paste and put on some new stuff as the pre-applied paste made a bunch of air pockets when mounting it.

Overall Review: Screwing the rad & fans in place was quite time consuming but, if you have some patience it will get done eventually.

Decent kit of RAM.

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-10600CL9D-4GBPK
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-10600CL9D-4GBPK

Pros: I've had this kit for nearly 2 1/2 years and they're still working. I first bought them for an AsRock A55M board and later used them in a Dell H61 board and they had no problems.

Cons: I just recently installed them in an X58 build but unfortunately they don't seem to be fully compatible. (2GB's disappears every now and then and can only be restored by clearing the CMOS).

Overall Review: Overall, not a bad kit. Works at rated freq, timings & voltage on supported platforms.

Good budget cooler

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes

Pros: It has very good performance for the cost. It's able to keep my i7 920 @ 4.2Ghz w/ ht off 1.3875v ~75*c on prime95

Cons: Sort of loud at full speed and obviously doesn't cool as well as a CL WC unit.

Solid PSU

Pros: Overall it"s a high quality power supply; With 60 Amps on a single 12v rail and 4x 6+2 pin connectors it can power any single gpu easily with enough extra power to add a second gpu. Ascetics are nice and it stays cool and quiet even when I throw my whole system into full load for an hour.

Cons: Non-modular cables is a big one. The blue led is quite annoying as well.

Overall Review: System specs: A8-3870k 3.5GHz @ 1.5v Msi r7950 tf 3gd5/oc boost 1150/1250 @1.3v A55m-HVS rosewill xtreme rx750w WD blue 500gb

Good enough for my use's

Pros: Contrary to the low price, this is actually a very solid PSU. Powers my heavily OC'ed video card and somewhat OC'ed processor with ease; The fans are almost dead quiet and the bright blue led's are nice as well.

Cons: It can get a tad bit warm, other than that... I have no complaints. (You get what you pay for.)

Overall Review: System Specs: CPU: A8-3870K @ 3.25GHz 1.35v (Stock Cooling) GPU: ECS GTX 560 SE @ 1000/2000/2291 1.112v (Stock Cooling And Flashed Bios) MOBO: AsRock A55M-HVS RAM: Samsung M378B5273DH0-CH9 8GB 2X4GB @ 2330MHz 9-13-13-35 1.65v PSU: Rosewill Stallion Series 500W HDD: Western Digital 500GB 7200 RPM SATA III CASE: Rosewill Blackbone Mid ATX OS: Windows 8 Pro 64-Bit
