Most Favorable Review

Fast and Reliable

Intel 730 Series 2.5" 240GB SATA 6Gb/s MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSC2BP240G4R5
Intel 730 Series 2.5" 240GB SATA 6Gb/s MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSC2BP240G4R5

Pros: Fast!! Drive Monitoring Tools

Cons: None

Overall Review: Bought the drive when it was on sale right before Christmas. I did a fresh install of Windows 7 on this drive. I am using it mainly as a boot disk, but I have installed a couple of programs on it. Running Office 2010 from the drive, boots up noticeably faster then from a Hard Disk. As for boot times, my PC boots in less then 10 seconds. I can't speak for reliability at this time but if earlier reviews are accurate this drive should last me a long time.

Great Speaker

VisionTek BTi65 900892 Bluetooth Waterproof Speaker
VisionTek BTi65 900892 Bluetooth Waterproof Speaker

Pros: Sounds great Built well Versatile

Cons: None

Overall Review: I've been using this speaker for 4 years now and I love this speaker. It has great sound, is built very well, and has lasted. The sound is great for listening to music or listening to Podcast. I've used for just about everything from using it as an external speaker when playing movies on the go to playing music on a canoe. It's quick to connect to my phone via Bluetooth and has never given me an issue connecting. I'm not sure if they will be making this when mine eventually dies but if so I will buy this again.

Powerfull Supply w/ lots of cables

EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 G2 120-G2-1300-XR 80+ GOLD 1300W Fully Modular Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply
EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 G2 120-G2-1300-XR 80+ GOLD 1300W Fully Modular Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply

Pros: All cables needed included carrying case powerful

Cons: This is my second power supply of this kind. The first one died within a year with hardly any use.

Overall Review: Power supplied died within the first year of ownership and had hardly any use. The power supply would continually power cycle when it died. I had registerd it with EVGA as soon as I bought the power supply. Called EVGA, told them the problem, what I did to troubleshoot the problem, and they sent me a replacement right away with return shipping. They will ask for a credit card number before shipping. This is only held on file just incase you don't ship back the old power supply is what I was told. Didn't have any issues with it as I sent mine back the same day I received mine. Customer service was top notch. The best part, when I called I talked to someone based here in the US! The only reason for 4 stars is because the first power supply died so fast. Very happy with EVGA's customer service.

Reliable and play any game I throw at it.

G.SKILL Sniper Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C11D-16GSR

Pros: Does what memory is supposed to do and does it without errors.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Heat sink is a bit taller then I thought it would be. If your memory is close to your CPU and you have an after market cooler it may not fit. Using a Core I7 I had to move the fan up further on the Hyper 212+ to get it to clear the heat sink on the memory.

Great Board

MSI Z77MA-G45 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: Stable used with 16GB of memory and core I5 no issues Slots allow for XFire which is a plus. UEFI is laid out nicely. UEFI is accesable from within Windows which is a huge plus!

Cons: None

Overall Review: This is my first time purchasing a MSI board and so far I have had no issues. I can not speak of longevity with this board as I have had it less then a year but so far all seems promising.
