Most Favorable Review

Insane overclocking!

Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 2.33 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6550
Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 2.33 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6550

Pros: I took this cpu from 2.33ghz at 1333FSB to 3ghz at 1400FSb without a hiccup. Antec 900 case gives me plenty of airfolw. CPU idles at 32-C!--Zalman heatsink. GPU idles at 40-C.

Cons: none

Overall Review: 11,000 3Dmark score running 2.8ghz at 1400FSB on a P5B deluxe with an 8800gts 640 o/c. 2GB Corsair XMS PRO. Western Digital Raptor 10,000pm drive.

Pros: HUGE BASS box! Didnt think it would be that big! Amazing performance for the price.

Cons: The only thing that sucked was the speaker mounts. They didnt put much thought into it because they are the worst ever! Oh well, i overcame and they still sound great!

Overall Review: get a good sound card...creative fatality xtrme gamer.

WORST CARD EVER!

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Interface Sound Card

Pros: looks cool.

Cons: horrible popping in all audio apps. downloaded recent drivers but they didnt help. Returning thats how bad it sucks.

Overall Review: just settle for the wxtreme audio.

Don't settle for anything less!

EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 640-P2-N821-AR
EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 640-P2-N821-AR

Pros: Everything but....

Cons: the fan speed comes factory set at like 59% so you have to use ntune to move it up to 100% EVERY time you reboot.

Overall Review: If you even remotely take gaming seriously, just spend the money and buy this card. An 8600 or radeon x1650 or equivelant just wont perform like this!
