Pros: I tend to plan my builds with the long game in mind, so I prize longevity and durability. I do not have any doubts that I can get a good 5+ years of heavy use out of this motherboard. It overclocks very easy, I was able to get my Intel Core i7 5960x to a stable 4.4GHz (your mileage may very and always keep the silicon lottery in mind). XMP made the G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 series F4-3000C15Q-16GRBB very easy to use, just choose the proper XMP profile and you're done! This motherboard is loaded with fan headers which helps to accommodate the Corsair H105 and EVGA Geforce GTX 980 Ti Hybrid.

Cons: For some it would be the weight, the backplate is very solid and quite heavy for something that's not supposed to be gym equipment :p

Overall Review: Overall I am very happy with the motherboard, if you are looking for something that is solid and no nonsense, you can't go wrong with this motherboard.

Pros: Its been said that this card is overkill for 1080p, and that's what I've been seeing first hand. I'm upgrading from an EVGA GeForce GTX 660 and while that card would be adequate for 1080p @ 60fps, I would need to do a lot of tweaking in game to get it running like that. However since upgrading all I have done is max out settings and enjoyed 100+fps. I've been putting the card through its paces with GTA V, Killing Floor 2, Dying Light, etc. I'm starting to think its time to start searching for a good 1440p monitor. In terms of temperatures, it idles in the low 30s and during gameplay might hit the mid to high 40s. I am still tuning my fan setup to strike the optimal balance between noise and cooling.

Cons: It is expensive, but I would like to preface it by saying Newegg will price match if you find it cheaper elsewhere. I was able to submit a price match request and get the difference on a Newegg gift card the next day.

Overall Review: I am extremely pleased with the performance of this card. If the price continues to drop, I may be looking into getting another one of these cards to do SLI.

Pros: Works great with the Asus X99 Sabertooth, just install and choose the XMP profile.

Cons: Can't complain much, I haven't run into many problems with it.

Overall Review: I paid over $200 when this was new, its now at $154.99, time to get another set!

Pros: Very noticeable increase in speed. For now I am putting it through its paces with various games I have in Steam. One in particular, the Witcher has a lot of transitions, the fast read/write definitely helps with loads/saves when compared to my old hard drive. Among the other informal tests I've done was creating Steam backups and then copy/paste them to and from numerous folder locations. Obviously it was way faster than my old hard drive, the write speeds were fairly consistent, usually only dipping to 100mb/sec at the lowest. Just for kicks I did the ATTO bechmark, and the numbers came up at or near what's posted in most reviews (xbit labs, bechmark reviews, tweaktown, etc.)

Cons: The over provisioning made what would've been a 120GB drive only 100GB. But I understand that Patriot didn't design the controller, Sandforce did, so I guess its not so much of a knock on Patriot as it is on Sandforce. If Patriot did release a newer version of this drive at 120GB, I would probably pick it up and switch out the one I have and put that one into my laptop.

Overall Review: I was somewhat of an early adopter so I paid nearly $370+ for this drive, but let it be said that patience is a virtue. Had I been more patient I would've saved a lot of money on this drive. Still pretty good for what you pay for though.

Comments: I was looking for something quiet, and found it in these Vantec Stealths. The stock Antec fans that came with my SX1030 just started wearing out after 3-4 years of use and became significantly louder. After taking out the stock fans and the other Antec fans I installed a while ago with the Vantec Stealths I definitely noticed it was much quieter. Although I still have to track down one odd noise, I have eliminated the possibility of it being the Stealths through process of elimination.

Comments: I'm quite satisfied with these fans, they push out more air and do it without as much noise as the stock Antec fans that came with my case. I plan to replace all my Antec fans with Vantec Stealths.
