Good for Gaming

Intel Core i5-3570K - Core i5 3rd Gen Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Intel HD Graphics 4000 Desktop Processor - BX80637I53570K
Intel Core i5-3570K - Core i5 3rd Gen Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Intel HD Graphics 4000 Desktop Processor - BX80637I53570K

Pros: All the processor you're going to need if the main purpose for your computer is gaming. If you're doing 3-D effects rendering or using other higher end programs that are demanding then go for an i7 model. Other wise this will be all the processor you'll need.

Cons: None.

Great board

Pros: Good quality board with great features. Also, you can't beat ASUS's graphic BIOS in my opinion. Top notch. Also it's SLI ready and came with the SLI cable. For someone who wants to possibly do SLI now or in the near future, this is a great board.

Cons: The I/O shield was extremely hard to get in. I had to bend some tabs and even cut my finger in the process. For the sake of a few extra cents they could have supplied the nice flush I/O shield that are included in higher end models.

Overall Review: Good board for the money. Paired this with an Intel i5 3750K. Great combo for gaming.

Nice Case

Pros: Great fans (4 total), with a reasonable amount of room in the case. USB 3.0 on the front with a nice tray with a mat to put your phone or iPod is a nice touch. Room in the case to mount two more 120 mm fans!

Cons: Cable management!

Overall Review: Had to subtract an egg for cable management. If they had made the case maybe 2 cm wider on the back to accommodate the large cables covered in braided wire then it would have been 5 eggs. Also, be warned if you plan on using a very large graphics card. I have a ASUS P8Z77-V LK mother board paired with a Geforce GTX 660 and I think I have about 4-5 cm clearance between the end of the card and the start of the drive bays. I lucked out that it fit because that never even crossed my mind till I started building.

Top Quality

Pros: Excellent Quality power supply.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: The power supply is something you do not want to skimp on when it comes to a PC build. I have zero regrets for purchasing this product. Could I have gotten more power for less money? Yes, but the quality would just not be the same. Also, this power supply is SEMI-MODULAR! For people who subtract an egg for it not being fully modular are moronic and do not do their research. Newegg has an option for searching either a fully or semi modular power supply, so if you want a fully modular power supply guess what section you need to look in. Also, if you'd even look at all the pictures it shows that it is semi modular.
