Most Favorable Review

These are amazing

Cougar Turbine CFT12SB4  Case Fan
Cougar Turbine CFT12SB4 Case Fan

Pros: I can't believe how powerful these are and I can barely even hear them.

Cons: The cables aren't sleeved

Overall Review: I am very sensitive to small noises, people say the fans that come with the Corsair H105 are completely silent but this hum they produce is horrible. I ordered more Cougar fans to replace those.

Most Critical Review

Easy to set up like all Linksys, but low speeds

Linksys E1500-NP Wireless-N Router with SpeedBoost, DD-WRT Open Source support, IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g/n
Linksys E1500-NP Wireless-N Router with SpeedBoost, DD-WRT Open Source support, IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g/n

Pros: Like all Linksys routers, it was very easy to set up

Cons: Terrible speeds... Don't feel like going into depth. Got better speeds with a similar model from a competing brand.

This is it

Phanteks Enthoo Luxe Series PH-ES614L_BK Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Phanteks Enthoo Luxe Series PH-ES614L_BK Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: -Plenty of room to work with. -The best packaging I have ever seen in a case, everybody needs to learn from Phanteks here. -Built in 10 color ambient lighting with an internal add on strip for only a little bit more, all controllable by a button on the front I/O panel. -Lots of fan mounts for great airflow. -Plenty of room for watercooling.

Cons: I honestly can't think of any. One small thing with the additional light strip you can purchase; it's difficult to get it to stay on the top of the inside of the case, not even any good place to zip-tie. I held it up and pressed it down for about a minute this time and it's been good for a couple hours now. This doesn't come with the case though and it's not enough to take an egg away anyway.

Overall Review: This is seriously the nicest case I have ever seen. I was very impressed with the packaging as soon as I pulled it out of the box. All of the case screws come in a little tool box, separating them all. This needs to be standard, I was blown away by just that small detail. There's room for up to 9 fans at once, more if you're doing liquid cooling with push/pull radiator setups, which there is plenty of room for. Removable PSU cover, ambient lighting, all of this for 150 dollars. Definitely satisfied with my purchase, it's perfect, exactly what I've been looking for.

MSI Gaming N770 TF 2GD5/OC G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card
MSI Gaming N770 TF 2GD5/OC G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card

Pros: Runs everything on max, quiet and cool, looks good, just bought a second one so I can get over 120 fps for my 144hz monitor without setting graphics down

Cons: Little plastic piece blocking the sli slots make it difficult to connect if your bridge isn't long enough.

Overall Review: The SLI bridge that comes with the ASUS ROG boards is perfectly long enough to stretch between 2 GPUs so I had to unscrew the little plastic piece to get the bridge under it and then screw it back in

CORSAIR RM Series RM850 850 W ATX12V v2.31 and EPS 2.92 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply
CORSAIR RM Series RM850 850 W ATX12V v2.31 and EPS 2.92 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Quiet, 80+ gold, full modular, powers my 2 overclocked GTX770s and my i7-4770k at 4.6GHz with no problem

Cons: Cables are extremely stiff and hard to fit behind motherboard tray if you don't have a good amount of space back there

Overall Review: Cables are plenty long enough but without a lot of room for cable management they can be very difficult to hide

SAMSUNG 840 EVO 2.5" 500GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TE500BW
SAMSUNG 840 EVO 2.5" 500GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TE500BW

Pros: Fast, installed Windows and all my Steam games and everything loads extremely quick now, the least expensive SSD you can get and on paper it's one of the fastest also, but I think it only gets those stats with the Samsung Magician software

Cons: I think you have to install and tweak the Samsung software that comes with the drive to get the advertised speeds

Overall Review: This is my first SSD so I don't know how it compares to others but coming from only hybrid HDDs and regular 7200rpm the difference is incredible. My computer almost boots up faster than it takes my monitor to turn on. I don't even get to play with the things on the loading screens in Skyrim anymore because everything loads too quick!
