Pros: Nice onboard sound, easy setup, decent bios.

Cons: None that I can think of.

Overall Review: I have tried Gigabyte motherboards in the past with poor results. I gave this board a try for two builds at the same time and am very pleased so far.

Pros: Price after rebate.

Cons: It's like rolling dice if you get two good sticks.

Overall Review: There is no excuse for a memory manufacturer to ship out bad sticks of memory. With todays technology for testing - a bad stick should never leave the factory. I had one good stick out of two but you have to ship both back because it is packaged together. I went back to A-Data because I have never got a back stick from them. Now my customer has to wait an extra week to get his pc. Also, I hate rebates. Give me instant discounts anyday.

Pros: Image quality, great stand, every cable you would ever need, controls, zero dead pixels, small foot print for the size.

Cons: The only con I would say most people complain about is the sheen you get with the super dark images or scene's that is inherent with IPS monitors. I'm a picky person and it doesn't bother me. The presets are set way too high and just need some adjusting per your taste.

Overall Review: I think this monitor is the best bang for your buck in this price range. I did a lot of research before purchasing and ignored some negative reviews I had seen. I'm happy with it so far. My wife loves it and likes the additional space coming from a 20" to a 25". Some people say you can find something comparable with this image quality at a lower price but it won't have this heavy duty stand and all of the cables you would ever need. I have it connected to an evga gtx 960 2gb on a z97 board with intel 4690k processor and 16gb memory.

Pros: Faster booting up, more responsive. Takes less disc space.

Cons: I can't think of any cons since it was free. The one issue is the small learning curve of adjusting to where everything is.

Overall Review: Windows 7 kept getting slower and slower with all of the security updates, fixes. It was beginning to remind me of Vista's last days. Microsoft is trying to wean everyone off of the big os's like 7. I admit that 8 and 8.1 was awful but 10 is the right balance in my opinion. Didn't have any issues upgrading. Later on I might do a clean install.

Pros: Multitasking is much smoother. Rarely have to reboot unlike XP. Higher security. Uses memory more efficiently.

Cons: None that you can't work around.

Overall Review: I'm tired of reading reiviews of people trashing Vista because they are trying to run it on old hardware. If you haven't found out by now that you need plenty of memory and decent hardware that mfgr's have spent the time developing drivers for then you haven't done your research. Windows 7 isn't anything but a scaled down Vista and I think you will find the same issues trying to run on older hardware. No, I'm not a Microsoft employee and I wish we had more competitive options. I've been running Vista 64bit for over a year. I set it up as a dual boot system with XP thinking I would have all these issues I keep hearing. I liked Vista so much out of the box that XP is just taking up space on my drive.

Pros: quiet when booting up and most tasks.

Cons: loud when loading software from cd or dvd.

Overall Review: I just put one in two builds. I thought I was going to rma after hearing windows being installed. After install it runs quiet playing music cd's, dvd movies and such. When you install a large program from this drive it sounds like a prop plane taking off with alot of rattling. I hope they will be durable.
