OH YES, YES YES YES

EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-2765-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support w/ EVGA ACX Cooler Video Card
EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-2765-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support w/ EVGA ACX Cooler Video Card

Pros: - SEXY - COOL - SILENT (literally can not hear my GPU fans at ALL) - POWERFUL (maxing out DAYZ SA, ARMAIII - Breaking Point, ACIV @ 1920x1080 ((look below for full system specs for comparisons))

Cons: - None so far! :)

Overall Review: - Will be waiting for a price drop on these and then will purchase another for SLI setup and then will be set for a LONG time. - Was able to activate and download both ACIV and Splinter Cell with NO issues (following the directions correctly, unlike some other people) (SYSTEM SPECS) MAXIMUS VI HERO Intel i7 4770 EVGA GTX760 SC 2GB ACX 16GB DDR3 2400 G.Skill Sniper Samsung 840 128GB SSD Corsair HX HX850 PSU ACER 24" 1920x1080 5ms LED LCD Monitor (DVI) All stock fans and coolers NZXT Phantom PHAN-003RD ATX Full Corsair Vengeance K70 Keyboard Corsair Vengeance M65 Mouse NETGEAR NightHawk AC1900 Router ASUS PCE-AC68 Wireless AC1900 Adapter RUNS LIKE A DREAM.

LIKE BUTTAH

Corsair Vengeance MM200 CH-9000013-WW Standard Gaming Mouse Mat
Corsair Vengeance MM200 CH-9000013-WW Standard Gaming Mouse Mat

Pros: - Makes my Corsair Vengeance M65 mouse glide around like BUTTAH, almost no friction at all. - Very nice material - Does not move around on my desk - Great size

Cons: - None so far, but I feel as is the edges will become damaged sooner than later (corners and sides etc), but a non issue really when it only costs $17 for a new one.

Overall Review: - Never had a nice gaming mousepad like this before, and it truly makes a huge difference for me. Its so effortless to use the mouse now, and the fact that the Corsair Vengeance M65 Mouse and Corsair Vengeance K70 keyboard are so well built is simply amazing. GREAT COMBO to use all 3 together! Love Corsair products!

BEST PSU BRAND

CORSAIR HX Series HX850 850 W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready
CORSAIR HX Series HX850 850 W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: - SILENT - Semi-Modular is PERFECT for me - Strong enough for powerful SLI in the future (when the GTX760 drops in price it is MIIIIIIINE) - Came in a sexy velvet bag - Came with a smaller pouch with velcro flap that included all the modular cables. VERY IMPRESSED WITH THIS - VERY well packaged

Cons: - None so far! Amazing!

Overall Review: - I truly believe that Corsair, at least their HX series PSUs are the best you can buy for build quality, performance, and overall appearance. They have really kept up their game in regards to their products. Thank you Corsair!

EXCELLENT

Corsair CH-9000019-NA Vengeance K70 Mechanical Keyboard
Corsair CH-9000019-NA Vengeance K70 Mechanical Keyboard

Pros: - 3 levels of LED brightness - EXTREMELY Bright LEDs - Lovely blue color - VERY sturdy keyboard - The contoured keys they provide and the tool to remove the keys are GREAT, I switched them out immediately for gaming and haven't looked back. - Great wrist rest - 2 different spots to adjust the keyboard height, one in back like usual, and another near the front - USB passthrough (used for my headset) - Different profiles - EXTREMELY nice braided cord that feels as if it will NEVER break! - No extra buttons that I will never use - Volume scroll wheel is nice - Button to adjust if the entire keyboard is lit, or just the 1,2,3,4,5,6, W, A, S, D, and arrow keys are lit up (my favorite) - Lovely keys that are very responsive and allow for no ghosting at all!

Cons: - Keys are a little loud I think (maybe just my opinion) but really a non issue. No eggs deducted for that. - Nitpicking here, but when you put on the contoured red gaming keys, the symbols like !,@,#,$,%,^ are not shown on the new red 1,2,3,4,5,6 keys they provide. Kind of hard to remember what they are when typing in passwords etc, but not deducting an egg for that (maybe just something to update in the next revision Corsair!)

Overall Review: Pairs very well with the Corsair Vengeance M65 mouse and the mousepad, look amazing together and perform great together as well. Will continue to follow the Corsair brand around for a long time coming in regards to mice and keyboards (and their HX PRO HX850 PSU!)

SO GOOD

Corsair M65 Vengeance USB Wired Laser Gaming Mouse
Corsair M65 Vengeance USB Wired Laser Gaming Mouse

Pros: - Amazing feel to the mouse - Extremely accurate - Love (most) button placements - Nice braided cord - Adjustable weights

Cons: - The Sniper button for the thumb is just a TAD bit too far out of reach, and I have very large hands. Better placement would make the mouse PERFECT in my eyes. Will not deduct an egg for that though!

Overall Review: - Using this mouse with the (Corsair Vengeance MM200 CH-9000013-WW Standard Gaming Mouse Mat) and (Corsair Vengeance K70 CH-9000019-NA Silver USB Wired Gaming Mechanical Keyboard) is a dream. Everything is so smooth on the mouse pad, and the keyboard and mouse go hand in hand together in terms of performance and style.

HOT DANG

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: - AMAZING BIOS (Extremely Easy all the way to OH MAH GERD SO MANY OPTIONZ) - Very good looking - Extremely well built and packaged - Great choice of color scheme - Screams with performance with my i7 4770 + 16gb ddr3 2400 G.Skill Sniper + Samsung 840 128gb SSD + EVGA GTX760 2GB SuperClocked ACX, Corsair 850w PSU - Love the debug code on the Mobo - Updated the firmware from the provided software over Wifi with NO issues

Cons: - Not sure if its the MOBO or a driver issue, but for some reason my GAMESCOM headset MIC volume no matter what settings I change, is sooooooo quiet. Have yet to figure it out, but will NOT take an egg away for that. Tried using USB ports, audio ports etc.. nothing matters so far.

Overall Review: - A great mobo for a great price when I bought it ($194.99) - Overall just an excellent starting point for a new build and provides enough features and futureproofing for me to not need a new one for years.
