Nice Headset.

Razer Kraken 7.1 Surround Sound USB Over Ear Gaming Headset
Razer Kraken 7.1 Surround Sound USB Over Ear Gaming Headset

Pros: Loud, like really really loud.

Cons: If you have a larger head these might be a bit uncomfortable.

Overall Review: These work in combo with Razer Synapse and Razer Surround, both of which I have had various ups and downs. The headsets themselves are very nice. They look great and sound amazing. I use them for music, gaming, movies, or just when I want to have eargasms in general. They are great for blocking out external noise as well. The mic is very good, and tucks away when not in use. I've been told that I'm clear over chat and it has nice sensors to block out background noise and easily picks up when you are talking and when you aren't. Overall they have a good range of sounds. Booming bass, warm middle, and highs don't sound sharp or tinny which is nice in my opinion. As I said before the bass on these is loud which is great for the genre's of music I like to listen. I think the highest I've turned up the volume is 60/100 and that was making the whole headset shake on my ears. Not to mention that I felt like my eardrum were about to rupture. My one complaint, they tend to squeeze my ears a bit, especially the longer you wear them. I wouldn't say my head is huge but its probably above average. Generally I cant use these for more than three or fours hours at a time, which sucks because they have great sound but I don't like getting head aches while I'm trying to listen to music. I would recommend trying to find a pair in a store or seeing if a friend has one to try on first to see how they will sit on your head. However I don't think that a little bit of squeeze really detriments the headphones, as the sound and mic quality of this headset is so amazing.

For the random DVD that you still might need to use.

Pros: Cheap.

Cons: None that I can think of.

Overall Review: Decent overall read and write speed, really depends more on your CPU for that anyways. Useful for when you have that DVD or CD that you still need to use on occasion. Really the best part it the price.

Great for the Price but...

GIGABYTE GeForce GT 630 2GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Graphics Card GV-N630-2GI
GIGABYTE GeForce GT 630 2GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Graphics Card GV-N630-2GI

Pros: Great price, fits a PCI 1.0 if you have one.

Cons: Really not the best for newer games. Definitely not something you can expect to run highest settings on for most games but will run most things that you will want to play.

Overall Review: I've moved onto a more expensive higher up GPU but if I remember some some the FPS on games I played it would be something like Skyrim 45-ish on low to med settings, some random MMO's 60 fps easy. Honeslty, I wouldn't recommend this as a gaming GPU but if you need something cheaper just to run basic programs or some light video work or something along that nature this will do the trick.

Great for the Price

MSI Z77A-G43 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
MSI Z77A-G43 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: I have it almost fully loaded with cards and other things. The MSI bios works well, I set it on the automatic O/C mode and never really tried anything else but it works well.

Cons: I wish it had another PCI 2.0 slot instead of a 1.0 so I could SLI two GT 660's together but I would probably have to get a newer MOB for that. It could use a few more USB 3.0 if I had to complain about something else.

Overall Review: Overall its a good MOB and I haven't had any problems with it, except I can't get a monitor to connect to it directly. Not really a problem for me since I just use my two GPU's for that anyways.

Great.

Rosewill RDRD-11003 2.5" SSD / HDD Mounting Kit for 3.5" Drive Bay with 60mm Fan

Pros: Has a fan. Works.

Cons: None that I can think of.

Overall Review: I needed to put an old laptop 2.5" hard drive in my desktop for extra storage space. This worked like a charm and the fan keeps it cool I guess, not that it really needs it, but the idea is nice. Would buy again if I needed another.

Work well.

Pros: Works well, I've never managed to use more than 5gb of RAM at one time.

Cons: None that I can think of.

Overall Review: Reasonably priced and more than enough memory for almost anything I can think of. Never had any problems, and they work well. Plus they are fire hydrant red and I like the idea heat sinks on them.
