Most Favorable Review

hehe I like it.

XFX CORE Edition Radeon HD 7770 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card FX-777A-ZNF4
XFX CORE Edition Radeon HD 7770 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card FX-777A-ZNF4

Pros: + It's not too expensive. + I have it in a PCIe2.0 slot and it plays some games at pretty high graphic levels with suitable fps @ 720p resolution. (WoW, sc2, tomb raider, sim city, LoL, skryim) + Temperature stays low to warm but never hot. + CrossFireX ready if you ever want to upgrade your system that way.

Cons: Really, I can't think of anything worth mentioning as a con. It is exactly what should be expected from its stats.

Overall Review: * My screen is only 720p, so I don't know how well it'll do at higher resolutions, but I wouldn't expect too much past medium graphics above 720p. * I kinda like the faceplate thing. * It's not too long of a card. It's a full inch from the edge of my motherboard. (* 7.5 WEI graphics index)

Most Critical Review

Why is this a 4-egg product?

EDIMAX EW-7811Un 150 Mbps Wireless IEEE 802.11b/g/n Nano USB Adapter
EDIMAX EW-7811Un 150 Mbps Wireless IEEE 802.11b/g/n Nano USB Adapter

Pros: *You might have a wireless connection. *Teeny tiny.

Cons: *Can't seem to keep my connection to the router that is about 30 feet away. *When it does stayed connected, I get periods of really slow connection speeds.

Overall Review: I'm a first-time builder, perhaps 30 feet is farther than I think it is for a wireless connection? I will be replacing this thing.

Good price. Good performance. Classic G.Skill red heat spreader.

G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Desktop Memory Model F4-2400C15D-16GVR

Pros: -Works at advertised speed with the ease of setting xmp.

Cons: -No cons for my uses.

Overall Review: - 16gb is the max I'd recommend for any gaming. This is probably the best memory in this price range.

I'm finding it to be very fun.

Microsoft Windows 8 64-bit (Full Version)
Microsoft Windows 8 64-bit (Full Version)

Pros: -Fun! -The features! -Finally something different.

Cons: -Takes a short while to get used to. -What was easy in the other Windows OS's is now perplexing.. like finding "my computer". I don't think "my computer" exists, though.. not sure, yet.

Overall Review: If you go into it with an open mind, you'll have fun with it. I know I am. All the stuff they made available to you is awesome. It's all through the xbox/microsoft store, though. That part doesn't matter to me. There are better free games than other windows os's offered from the store. You do have to make an account with microsoft before being able to use the store.. which is to be expected. It's a simple process though. All in all I'm glad I took the chance buying this.

Oh, I like this thing.

Pros: *It looks better than I expected it to. *The keys are quite comfortable. *Has all the keys I need.

Cons: *Nothing to complain about.. especially for $8. *The shipping cost basically doubles the price, but I got it shipping-free.
