Most Favorable Review

Best for the price.

HIS IceQ X Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card H785QN2G2M
HIS IceQ X Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card H785QN2G2M

Pros: -Outstanding performance, much better than was expected for the 7850, and anything in its price range -Can run Far Cry 3 on Ultra, 4x MSAA at 1440x900 (Bad monitor) with an average of 40 FPS. Though I don't advise Ultra since it will drop during combat. -Skyrim is taken care of without breaking a sweat on Ultra with HD 4k-texture mods, 60 fps avg. -Keeps very cool, extremely quiet. Also quite nice looking. Simply the best card in this price range. Even the Nvidia 560 ti is overpowered by this card, and the 560 ti is atleast $70 more.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: At first, this card's performance was shoddy. Then AMD recently released the 13.3 beta drivers, and performance in all of my games (Especially Far Cry 3) Shot through the roof. Would definitely buy a second one and crossfire.

Most Critical Review

Not the best.

CM Storm Sonuz - Gaming Headset with 53 mm Drivers and Volume and Microphone Control
CM Storm Sonuz - Gaming Headset with 53 mm Drivers and Volume and Microphone Control

Pros: -Comfortable -Decent price -Braided cord -Detachable mic

Cons: -Sound Quality -No noise cancellation This headset is fairly priced, however do not let the driver size fool you. There is little to no bass present in this headset. Clear highs and good mids, but no lows. It feels as if the drivers aren't getting enough power. I'd recommend another product over this.

Overall Review: My iFrogz CS40's were 30 dollars and sound five times better than this oversized headset. It serves its purpose in gaming with its microphone, but its sound is lacking incredibly. Not for music whatsoever. I recommend the iFrogz Caliber Stealth for 10 dollars more.

Outstanding keyboard.

Logitech G110 LED Backlighting Gaming Keyboard
Logitech G110 LED Backlighting Gaming Keyboard

Pros: -Beautiful design -LED's are bright but not blinding. -INDICATOR LIGHTS. Every 'gaming' keyboard has obnoxiously bright LED indicator lights. This has a nice, very dim but noticable orange, small light. -Profile switch on the fly with the tap of a key -GKeys are very functional and have a wide range of options -The audio ports on this keyboard are actually pretty good quality. Nothing you'd get from a high-end onboard audio or sound card, but as good as most onboard audio, especially since it only uses one USB cord. -On-keyboard mute functions for the inputs -Media functions are great, volume scroll bar is innovative and not too touchy. -Windows key toggle slider, has a joystick icon. Disables all windows keys and scroll lock if I remember correctly.

Cons: It doesn't make me breakfast.

Overall Review: This keyboard is an amazing value and is of outstanding quality. I highly recommend it over the competitively priced Razer keyboards. Logitech never fails to impress.

Beautiful

APEVIA ATX-AS680W-BL 680 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready Power Supply

Pros: It's very affordable, sleek, and powerful. *Blue cables are beautiful for a blue and black themed case. *3 fans help in-case cooling along with making sure your PSU never hurts itself.

Cons: It's non-modular, so you might have a tiny bit of cables lying around after your build, but it comes with some ties (On the cables)

Overall Review: Buy it! Amazing for the price.

ZALMAN Z9 Plus Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: It has a lot. *Wire management grommets *Comes with 4 fans, 3 of which are LED. *The front I/O panel is easy to wire and install, as well as extremely functional and sleek. *Easy to disassemble and re-assemble, yet very sturdy. *Beautiful look to it, Sleek, glossy black in the front, with a matte black to the sides and back. *Black interior, looks 10x better. *Side and top ventilation.

Cons: *It could use a few more wire management holes, but hey, it's only 50 bucks! *Fan controller only supports 2 fans. Also, 50 bucks... *It doesn't buy the rest of my parts for me.

Overall Review: If you're looking for a very affordable, sturdy, and reliable case with a beautiful look to it and more than enough cooling for a decent build, get this case!
