Works great for 1080p

ASUS Dual GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card DUAL-GTX1070-O8G

Pros: If you want 144hz at 1080p this is all you need really. It is powerful enough to handle higher resolutions, but I prefer 144hz. It won't always get 144 fps on all titles, but it is close enough on average, and I would only buy the 1080 or 1080ti if the price was really good, because those are overkill for 1080p IMO. I have owned this for nearly a year with zero issues.

Cons: none. The card works as it is supposed to.

Excellent sound quality for the price

Pros: It connects flawlessly via bluetooth and sounds really good.

Overall Review: I would definitely recommend this to a friend. I got it for 35 bucks. Newegg has some awesome deals sometimes.

SO far so good.

RAIDMAX Vampire RX-800GH Continuous 800 Watts ATX12V / EPS12V SLI CrossFire 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular PFC Power Supply Intel Haswell Platform Ready
RAIDMAX Vampire RX-800GH Continuous 800 Watts ATX12V / EPS12V SLI CrossFire 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular PFC Power Supply Intel Haswell Platform Ready

Pros: The cables are semi modular making it easy to keep things neat and cool. It works great so far, and with rebates I got it for 49.99 on black Friday. (after over 6 months waiting for the rebate and having to go through a bunch of stuff) I couldn't pass up the price, but knew I was taking a chance on this with the information I was able to locate online. I am not regretting buying this PSU at all. Edited update. I have owned this PSU for over a year now and the thing is still going strong without any issues. The quality has suited my needs, but I am only powering a 4790k with a 750ti in the machine that is using this PSU for now. It is overkill, but I couldn't pass up the 49.99 offer.

Cons: I was a bit underwhelmed with RAIDMAX PSU reviews that I found on the internet, however, so far the PSU they shipped me has been working great with no issues thus far. The 24 pin connector is very hard to connect. The little snapping mechanism doesn't quite snap down, but it's working fine otherwise. Edited update after one year of ownership- one thing I would like to mention in the cons section is regarding the raidmax rebate time frame. The rebate took a very long time to make it to my mailbox, and that was only because I had to go out of my way and spend time writing emails and in live chat sessions to get it. I had asus, NZXT, and cooler master rebates all filed at the exact same time as the raidmax rebate for this power supply. All of the other companies sent their rebates in the mail within 3 months or sooner, but raidmax was well over 6 months. I had to write them numerous times and get in contact with newegg before I received it. I would not buy any raidmax product again based on my experience with their rebates, but that has nothing to do with the performance of the actual power supply. I filed everything exactly as it was supposed to be filed, but I got the feeling they just try to wait until you complain before they actually send you the rebate they offer.

Overall Review: just want to say this PSU has caused me no issues for over 2 years on a 4790k build.

Nice Case

Fractal Design Meshify C Black ATX High-Airflow Compact Dark Tint Tempered Glass Window Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: It looks very modern and has all the basic needs. It was easy to build in for the most part. I installed two different types of cpu coolers in here. One was an AIO which was very easy to install, the other was a thermalright true spirit power 140, and it fit to my surprise.

Cons: My only issue is that I was shorted one stanchion screw, which I believe may be causing my back audio port to create a slight buzzing noise because the MB is not grounded properly. I am not sure if it is usual practice from this company or just an oversight on their production line. The reason this is a huge annoyance is how many times I had to take my pc apart trying to troubleshoot the buzzing audio. I could not eliminate the case being the cause for the buzzing because I was missing a stanchion screw, and I did not have access to spare. Not going to bash the whole case for this oversight, but it was annoying.

Overall Review: Send out enough stanchion screws for the MB's this case supports and you have built a very nice option for customers around the world fractal design.

Excellent product and a great company.

CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) Memory Kit Model CMK16GX4M2B3000C15

Pros: Just works as intended. I will only buy corsair or Gskill RAM. Lifetime warranty. When one of my DDR3 sticks on my old machine started acting up and failing memtest, corsair replaced it free of charge like clockwork and got my machine running smoothly again. I strongly recommend this company.

Cons: Notta
