Fantastic

PNY VCG88512GXPB GeForce 8800GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: Slim design doesn't block nearby PCI slots. Will pretty much handle whatever you can throw at it max settings or close to it.

Cons: Slim design and small fan means more heat. Need a well ventilated case and fans set to at least 50C to keep these cool under load.

Overall Review: I have 2 in SLI w/ a E6750 & 4 GB of G.Skill. No problems whatsoever except for some driver hiccups in a couple games. Can run COD 4 at max without a hitch. Wasn't sure I wanted PNY but I already had one almost for free so I got the second at newegg and am very happy with the results.

Great webcam for the money

Pros: Quite literally Plug and play, no setup required at all. Came with a little tripod which was an added bonus.

Cons: Would've loved if the feet on the tripod were rubber instead of plastic so they wouldn't slide around.

Overall Review: Purchased for Teams meetings as work from home is much more prevalent now. Zero issues so far. Great value for the money vs. spending a lot more for a major brand. Produces a nice and clear picture. Tripod is super helpful for getting a bit more height and more of a straight-on view.

King of Air Cooling

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151

Pros: Hard to argue with the results. Easy to install, inexpensive, quiet, and keeps things cool as a cucumber. Considerable OC'ing overhead as long as you keep your case clean and neat. Best price/performance air cooler on the market imo.

Cons: You know what you're getting into with one of these. They are freaking huge and take up a lot of real estate.

Overall Review: Core I7 6700K running @ 24C idle, 36C under typically gaming.

So far so good.

G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-16GVKB

Pros: As expected from G.SKILL. Been using them for years, have yet to have a bad stick. New build booted to 2133mhz. Rebooted and adjusted to 3200mhz and no issues to report. Been rock solid stable through my first few gaming sessions.

Cons: None.

SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3R HE103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Nice little drive. Very quiet. Not a hitch installing Windows 7 & its super quick to boot and for standard applications. Moved several gigs of data over and loaded several games. Been abusing it a few days now with no issues. Very happy with the purchase.

Cons: No complaints so far.

Overall Review: Newegg shipped across the country in 2 days. Always great service.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6750
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6750

Pros: Room to OC, and at less than 2 bills, how can you go wrong?

Cons: Stock fan & heatsink are TERRIBLE. Idled at 45C, ran 55C+ at load.

Overall Review: Replaced the heatsink with an aftermarket and temps dropped down to 32C at idle and doesn't crack 40C loaded. Haven't OC'd much but I will now.
