SAMSUNG 950 PRO M.2 2280 512GB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V5P512BW
SAMSUNG 950 PRO M.2 2280 512GB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V5P512BW

Pros: Easy install, set bios in motherboard for M2 and was picked right up by windows 7. Installed Samsung NVMe drivers. Installed the data migration tool. Migrated Windows 7 from 2 Samsung 850 Pro 256GB(Raid 0) drives to the new 950 pro. Reboot windows and set bios for the new boot, to be 950 pro. Boom simple and easy set up and transfer. Took less than 20 minutes included installation, bios adjustments, and data transfer.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Actually my 850 pros in raid 0 have a little higher sequential read/write speeds, but the 950 pro has almost twice the 4k read/write. Thanks Samsung for a great product.

Design Flaws

Corsair iCUE 5000X RGB Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX PC Smart Case, Black, CC-9011212-WW
Corsair iCUE 5000X RGB Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX PC Smart Case, Black, CC-9011212-WW

Pros: Great looking case when assembled, IMO it is the best looking case I have ever assembled, it looks great just sitting there and even better when powered up and the lighting shows off the interior of the case.

Cons: I had a serious issue with the cutouts, specifically for the power supply cable. The hole is way to small to pass through without rubbing of the rubber gromet that lines the cutout. Corsair Case and Corsair Power Supply you would not think this would be a problem. Then I one more issue with the power supply cable and the shroud that deflects the air to the mother board. The clearance from the back of the case and the deflector is about one half inch, the power supply cable is about three quarters of a inch. Had to do some serious arguing to get the deflector to mount back within the case.

Overall Review: If you do not mind going through a little frustration getting your cables routed, this is the case for you. If you are one that has to have everything fall into place, look elsewhere.

Smoke on the Water

EVGA GeForce GTX 980 04G-P4-2981-KR 4GB GAMING w/ACX 2.0, 26% Cooler and 36% Quieter Cooling For Gaming Graphics Card
EVGA GeForce GTX 980 04G-P4-2981-KR 4GB GAMING w/ACX 2.0, 26% Cooler and 36% Quieter Cooling For Gaming Graphics Card

Pros: More energy efficient than the 580's it replaced. Definite improvement in visuals and frame-rates vs the older cards.

Cons: 256 bit memory interface, Can only afford one..

Overall Review: This card scored 15984 in performance mode with 3dMark11, my score with GTX-580's in 3 way SLI was 15876. Improved the visuals in all of my games versus the 580's. Highly recommend this card if you can afford the price tag...

Not Bad

Corsair Air Series AF120 LED 120mm Quiet Edition High Airflow Fan Single Pack - Red (CO-9050015-RLED)
Corsair Air Series AF120 LED 120mm Quiet Edition High Airflow Fan Single Pack - Red (CO-9050015-RLED)

Pros: Red Led matches my stock 140mm case fans, good air movement, quiet compared to two 120mm fans on Corsair H120i that they replaced

Cons: None

Overall Review: Slightly on the expensive side, but not overly outrageous..

Kirby Vacuum Cleaner for fans

CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i Extreme Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 240mm
CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i Extreme Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 240mm

Pros: Easy Installation, dropped CPU temps 6c versus Cooler Master 212 EVO that was installed.

Cons: Stock fans sound like a Kirby Vacuum Cleaner has been installed in the case

Overall Review: Be prepared to replace the loud stock fans that come with this Cooler. I replaced them with 2 each Corsair Air Series AF120 CO-9050015-RLED 120mm Red LED Quiet Edition High Airflow Fan. Made a huge difference in the fan noise emission.
