Pros: I've had no problems with this board yet. The features are absolutely impressive. Reliable so far at 6 months.

Cons: none.

Great Product With Minor Drawback

GIGABYTE GA-B150M-D3H (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel B150 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-B150M-D3H (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel B150 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: This board: Looks great (LED strip on the board is a nice touch) Performs great - I was impressed with this board in just about every aspect. Good support - unfortunately, had to RMA this board with GIGABYTE, but the support was good. The diagnosis I gave them was clearcut and they didn't fight me for any silly reasons.

Cons: As much as I like the product, it did fail on me just about 5 months into ownership. The user I built this for walked out of the room for 30 minutes and came back to a dead board. This is unfortunate as he uses this computer every day for business and recreation. I was able to set him up with a spare to work on while I handled the RMA business, but I will be revising this review if I have to RMA this board again. I'll also be considering using this board for something else and buying a replacement that may be more reliable (once again that's an if at this point).

Pros: This PSU has been great so far. Everything about it seems to be of quality. With a 10 year warranty I'm not concerned about the longevity of this PSU.

Cons: none.

Great Graphics Card!

Pros: Plays every game I ask it to on ultra settings. I couldn't be happier with this card.

Cons: none.

Great CPU Does Everything I Ask

Intel Core i7-5820K - Core i7 4th Gen Haswell-E 6-Core 3.3 GHz LGA 2011-v3 140W Desktop Processor - BX80648I75820K

Pros: This CPU has been great. the heaviest task I've been asking of it are some of the latest games such as fallout 4 and the witcher 3 and it never seems to break a sweat with these tasks. Run's between 30c and 50 with my cooler master hyper 212 evo.

Cons: none.

Pros: This RAM has eaten everything I've thrown at it, though I would expect 32 GB to.

Cons: none.
