Most Critical Review

not to happy with this

XFX HD 6000 Radeon HD 6450 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 Low Profile Ready Video Card HD-645X-ZQH2

Pros: The only pros so far is from newegg and their cs department i have a rma on this product and they took care of me without any effort on my part

Cons: Failed. after install and first fireup on my build the card ran good after afew minutes it got really hot and then my screen was grainy and my bios bootup had a series of inch wide vertical blue stripes. windows looked horrible a very dismal 16bit color.

Overall Review: im hoping i can change this to a better review. the eggs really go to the cs department for their flawless efforts in keeping me a satisfied customer. although after 4 full builds and countless upgrades i guess i was due for a failed item though my asus hd 4350 i used to check my MB ran better than normal. hoping that my replacement fairs better

workhorse ram

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin PC RAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin PC RAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL

Pros: This ram is well worth more than the price. with a quality company that has done nothing but ram sense the mid 1980s they must be doing something right. each stick per their website is hand checked for both internal and external defects this showed me a higher commitment to quality product than many of the other name brand ram producers

Cons: none

From Asus to Gigabyte

GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3P (rev. 2.0) AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3P (rev. 2.0) AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: This board is well worth the money 900 series chipsets for sata 3 2 x16 PCIE slots for further updates even the color is a good contrast to the red gskill ram I installed. Bios is really user friendly unlike the old days where the bios looked like dos. i know its not the 990 series but im not complaning

Cons: i still gave the board 5 eggs, even with this there is a mount screw above the ram slots rather difficult to get to but its more of a quirk than anything

Overall Review: also afew bits of info my board came as a rev 1.0 with the white box not the black as shown. but dont fret the 1.0 still supports the fx series cpu all are shown under the F1 bios revsion. when checking against gigabyte's website there is a rev 1 and 2 for cpu support and ram be sure in choosing the correct one/

referb case no way

Pros: after reading all the negative reviews on this case i was more than alittle concerned. but all was put to rest when it showed up today. my case is in flawless condition almost like it was new. came with all the little bits needed. good price as well. SCORE!!!!

Cons: none so far

Pros: My drive came to me in very good condition no defects on either the plastic front or case. Both connectors work as well easily reconized by my computer. Very impressive even though I had my reservations about a referebed drive

Cons: none drive wise i did have to order a sata cable for it as it didnt come with one and the box it came in was creased alittle.

Overall Review: always asume with these kind of drives that it comes with just the drive. besides an extra sata cable can come in handy
