G.SKILL TridentX Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C10D-16GTX

Pros: So far these sticks have been performing for me very well. I haven't had any stability issues and I'm quite pleased.

Cons: None, really.

Overall Review: I am thinking of getting a second set to get 32gb for more of a future proofing, but 16gb has so far been fine. Also just wish these were available in a lower cas.

Logitech Fails again

Logitech G500 10 Buttons Dual-mode Scroll Wheel USB Wired Laser Gaming Mouse
Logitech G500 10 Buttons Dual-mode Scroll Wheel USB Wired Laser Gaming Mouse

Pros: When I first bought this mouse, like most logitech gear, it was great. The quality felt good, the weight tray was nice, and the on the fly dpi settings are great.

Cons: Like most Logitech gear this wore out... more quickly then it should have. Two years after I got it, the mouse buttons are starting to wear out. I get double clicks when I only click once, and if I press and hold it to move, say a web browser from one screen to another, it looses connection and stops moving the window. Just like other Logitech gear, 2 sets of speakers I bought from them also wore out in just a year or 2. This is now the last Logitech product I will ever buy, and as an IT professional and gamer, I will persuade anyone else not to buy Logitech products.

ASUS Maximus VI Hero

ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: I love the way this board looks, and I like the piece of mind it gives me knowing its made with quality parts. I haven't had any issues so far that weren't fixable - ill expand on that in the cons. So far this has been performing well and I don't have any complaints.

Cons: The only issue I had, which was why I took one egg, was with sound. There was some sort of glitch where the sound would randomly spaz out and get really loud, until I muted it. Then it would go back to normal. This seemed to have been fixed a little while back with an updated driver, but It was a very annoying few months.

Overall Review: Wish my board looked like the new iteration of this one.

4790K 4.0 GHz

Intel Core i7-4790K - Core i7 4th Gen Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1150 88W Intel HD Graphics 4600 Desktop Processor - BX80646I74790K
Intel Core i7-4790K - Core i7 4th Gen Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1150 88W Intel HD Graphics 4600 Desktop Processor - BX80646I74790K

Pros: I have to say I LOVE this CPU, it really crushes everything I ask it to do.

Cons: Runs a little warm with the stock heat sink/cooler, so I would suggest a closed loop liquid cooling solution. Not worth taking an egg off for though.

Overall Review: Wish it came in 6 core, before the change in socket.

Corsair Air Series AF140 140mm Red LED Quiet Edition High Airflow Fan (CO-9050017-RLED )

Pros: Nice Fans, decent air flow, and quiet enough.

Cons: Wish the LED's were a bit brighter. With red, it doesn't really fill the case well.

Corsair CS750M

CORSAIR CS-M Series CS750M 750W 80 PLUS GOLD Active PFC Haswell Ready ATX12V & EPS12V Semi Modular Power Supply
CORSAIR CS-M Series CS750M 750W 80 PLUS GOLD Active PFC Haswell Ready ATX12V & EPS12V Semi Modular Power Supply

Pros: This is a nice unit, the cables are easy to manage and being modular is nice.

Cons: Little bit of coil whine, sometimes gets annoying.
