Pros: Great budget CPU, can play all my games maxed. Paired with a good GPU you can go for another 2 years (if overclocked). Speaking of overclocking, it's incredibly easy to do with this chip. I got it to 3.8ghz easily with the AMD overdrive.

Cons: Temps are very high on stock cooler, 38 on idle and around 55-58 while gaming, and in prime 95 for about 15 min it goes up to 70! And the stock heatsink is INCREDIBLY LOUD I couldn't even hear myself think with this thing on. Do yourself a favor and by an aftermarket cooler, even if you don't plan on overclocking.

Overall Review: This chip is great for the gamer on a budget but be aware about the terrible heatsink. I don't know why AMD would give us this embarrassment of a heatsink.

Pros: Its fast and can play all my games on ultra with amazing fps. Really good for small monitors.

Cons: WOW is this thing loud! Now it only gets loud when playing games, when just surfing the web its quite.

Overall Review: Huge improvement from my on-board graphics. I would really recommend this card for people with small monitors.

Pros: amazing deal, 30$ for a 500w psu you can't go wrong with that.

Cons: the wires weren't covered with that mesh protection thing, wtvr it was 30$

Overall Review: build: AMD ATHLON II X3 450 (4th core unlocked) 4gb DDR3 1333 RAM BIOSTAR A880G+ MOBO ePOWER 500W PSU

Pros: it wasn't DOA and it unlocked my amd athlon x3 450

Cons: WASN'T DOA

Pros: Great ram, does what it needs to do.

Cons: nothing much to complain about.

Overall Review: I am using a 32bit os, so i only get 3.5gb not the full 4.

Pros: IT **** WORKS! This is the 3rd hard drive I bought from newegg, and the first one to work.

Cons: none, so far..

Overall Review: its ridiculous how many hard drives out there are DOA.
