Pros: Black PCB ,great board layout ,amazing features. Great if you're buying a 4 or 6 core bulldozer but the 8 core wont be tremendously overclock worthy - see cons.

Cons: If you're running a 8120 or 8150 overclocking wont get you very far. You can achieve stable clocks up to 3.6-3.8 but no further due to the VRM's overheating and actually shutting down and underclocking the cpu to 1.4 ghz, for a short time. When this happens you'll experience huge lag spikes in most modern games, or applications.

Overall Review: The reason it throttles when overclocked is becasue it has a 4-1 power phase and it cant supply enough power to the cpu without overheating Look for a motherboard with a 8-1 power phase like the Extreme 4 or fatality. the fatality actually has a 16-1 power phase... so it supports 4 times the power of this board, with a lower TDP. If you don't wanna overclock much or at all this is the board for you. I'm currently at 3.7 ghz and it seems to work great there so I'm just going to leave it

Pros: The sound was awesome, I had it plugged into my computer using the PS3 configuration mostly. no need for the optical audio adapter tho. Great bass ,Fantastic microphone, loud It hurt my ears to max out my music ,and Comfortable it's like wearing a pillow on your head.

Cons: Like I said in the title, the microphone cable in the main cord must have broken somewhere. It wasn't sending any signal to my PC whatsoever. It worked fine on the Xbox 360 due to the fact that the mic plugs into the xbox controller and doesn't go through the long main wire. However I wouldn't trust the wire at all it feels extremely week and the wires seemed thin because the cord would bend like rubber. For this I'm taking off 3 eggs, this was my only problem with this headset. I am not one to mistreat my electronic devices to me they're gold.

Overall Review: Great headset, but it's only surround sound with fake 5.1 digital sillyness, i thought it was 5.1 acoustic when I bought it. if you want surround sound ether go for a nice Logitech speaker set, I'd also recommend their G35 headset (just picked it up today and the cord is nice and stiff :D) Time will tell.

Pros: This case is awesome, there's plenty of room for extra fans. It looks pretty nice also not a big fan of the black drive bay covers, doesn't thrash the appearance tho. good amount of room for cable management, if you've got a small power supply or a modular one. I would say that if you don't care about 200 mm fans then this case is just about as good as the haf 912.

Cons: hardrive cages aren't removable, and you cant spin them ether. So if you've got a raid array than things might get a bit cramped for your gpu.

Overall Review: Great little case, perfect for atx, and mini atx builds. Looks better than it does in the pictures. put a window in the side the interior is beautiful. Do it! now!

Pros: High contrast right out of the box. Thin bezel. Fairly decent viewing angles. The blue led power light on the front isn't that bright so it wont blind you all day, yet still visible not that it matters.

Cons: The up and down viewing angles are kinda iffy but from left and right are awesome.

Overall Review: The first thing I noticed when I got her hooked up next to my other monitors was that it's got a much richer display. My other 2 monitors are asus vh232h's. The stand is wobbly but it's really no big deal, I just shoved a rubik's cube under one side and now it stays really steady.

Pros: best 23 inch monitor at this price point.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Just bought the second monitor to my eyefinity setup so now I have 2 of these and I couldn't be happier with the color and contrast matching up perfectly they both look identical.

Pros: SSD's are fast we all know that, I wasnt expecting this thing to be as fast as it is even. My loading screens in bf3 are 8-10 times faster, windows starts in 12 seconds and from there I can use any application asif my computer has been turned on and waiting for 2 minutes already. it literally gives you several minutes of spare time every time you load a game or heavy application. It weighs litteraly nothing compared to any other part in a pc.

Cons: It's not the most attractive ssd and removing the sticker voids the warranty, as would any.

Overall Review: I would buy it again if I needed another but for now I'm good.
