Good set!

TekNmotion TM-YB100A 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Black Yapster Universal Gaming Headset

Pros: -Good sound quality -Good bass -Quite comfy -Have held up well!

Cons: Mic isn't too impressive, only decent sound from it.

Works Well!

CORSAIR XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model CMX8GX3M2A1333C9

Pros: -Both sets I've purchased worked and are stable -Received my rebate on the first(bought the second recently). -They seem to offer rebates frequently, if you can hit it when one is available its an absolute steal!

Cons: Nothing of note.

Overall Review: I tinkered with the settings and managed to overclock it to 1600 as well. Tested and was stable. I backed it back down to 1333 as it wasn't my computer and wasn't necessary for my parents.

Quality board for an affordable price

Pros: -Easy Install/Boot -Extremely easy overclock(point and click) -4 ram slots(very nice since I had a couple extra 1 g sticks laying a round and avoided having to purchase 2x2g sticks) -lots of USB slots

Cons: None for the 6 months I've owned it.

Overall Review: Nice midrange board.

Works fine

Pros: Correct voltage, capable of powering a budget gaming rig(AMDx2 250, Radeon 4870 video card) with no problems.

Cons: The two fans make it a bit loud, but nothing too distracting for my taste. On the lighter side which makes me wonder on how long it will last.

Overall Review: Would recommend for anyone on a budget as the $20 I got it for was quite the deal

Good for a Budget

AMD Athlon II X2 250 - Athlon II X2 Regor Dual-Core 3.0 GHz Socket AM3 65W Processor - ADX250OCGQBOX

Pros: Inexpensive, can be overclocked, runs cool even with stock fan. Does what I need it to do.

Cons: Stock fan a smidgen loud, isn't unlockable.

Overall Review: As a college student with a limited budget but an desire to be able to play video game, this fit in my range perfectly. Have had no issues in the 6 months of ownership and has increased my performance in Company of Heroes and World of Warcraft significantly as well as BFBC2.

Good board
