Most Favorable Review

awesome board

MSI P45 Diamond LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
MSI P45 Diamond LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Works great. Lots of overclocking options for when i need them. water cooling built in but not needed for use unless overclocking. DDR3!

Cons: My XMS Corsair 1333 8GB of ram is running at 1066 for some reason.

Overall Review: Gforce gtx 280 1gb, Intel core 2 quad 2.66, 8 GB Ram, 1100W PS.

Most Critical Review

mission failure

Call of Duty: Black OPS PC Game
Call of Duty: Black OPS PC Game

Pros: Has potential dedicated servers

Cons: A huge step backwards in every way Requires steam so have fun installing. Multiplayer would be awesome if it wasn't for the constant stuttering and lag. There is currently no fix that actually works. Multiplayer menus are a mess and require downloading every time you change a class. I also am not fond of the fact you have a curreny system for buying guns, attachments, and emblems. Single player is broken on several levels.

Overall Review: Newegg is awsome. Free shipping and no tax on games makes it cheaper than walmart and best buy. I pre-ordered he game and got it on the release day (though because of steam it takes another half day to play the game).

best memory

G.SKILL PI 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL6T-6GBPI
G.SKILL PI 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL6T-6GBPI

Pros: Most stable memory I have ever had. Very low cas 6.

Cons: Cost money

Overall Review: G. SKILL is the only company I think I will buy from again. I've bought several sets of their memory and they all work perfectly. I will buy another set of this memory to boost my pc to 12 GB eventually. My build: Intel Core I7-950 O.C. 3.4 GHZ Asus Rampage III Extreme motherboard G. skill 6GB DDR3 1600MHZ Cooler Master HAF 932 case and 1200w psu 2x GeForce GTX 280s in SLI, soon to be GTX 570s

about the best you can get

ASUS Rampage III Extreme LGA 1366 Intel X58 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS Rampage III Extreme LGA 1366 Intel X58 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: So many overclocking options on this board and it still has stable control. The larger board gives a little more room to work with. Has 4 PCI-Express x16 slots and 1 x4, so it has space for 2 GPUs, better sound card and tv tuner. Has plenty of sata ports including 2 sata iii ports. I like the red and black look. Blutooth connect is awesome, I can use my Droid x for overclocking

Cons: Chipset runs hot. 110 c +. The south bridge has a plastic cover over it that should be a heatsink, silly. This thing takes forever to boot. Windows 7 on my ssd takes half the time to boot and login than the motherboard takes to boot. It goes through 3 different controller checks and there's no option to skip in the bios with a raid array installed. Could have done without the old PCI slot. It has a built in realtek sound card which is garbage compared to my creative x-fi so I just turned it off in the bios. If I ever do triple SLI I will have to use the realtek since the board has a PCI slot instead of another PCIX x1, but I knew this when I bought it. Overpriced!

Pros: Charges my Droid X almost 3 times before it dies. only takes a couple hours to charge.

Cons: Its bigger than my phone that I though was already big.

Overall Review: We'll see how many times it will charge.

cheap

SAMSUNG BX2331 Glossy Black 23" 1920 x 1080 Full HD LED Backlight LCD Monitor Slim Design  250 cd/m2 DCR 5,000,000:1 (1,000:1)
SAMSUNG BX2331 Glossy Black 23" 1920 x 1080 Full HD LED Backlight LCD Monitor Slim Design 250 cd/m2 DCR 5,000,000:1 (1,000:1)

Pros: LED-LCD makes for a good desktop screen because it takes up little space. 1920x1080 res. Fits movies bettter. Buttons are pretty cool and easy to use unless its dark. Cheap price on black friday

Cons: I have this sitting next to a Sanding Syncmaster T220 and the picture is worse in every way except for resolution. Colors are way off and I cannot seem to adjust it right. Too much color in faces but if you try to get rid of it it ruins the rest of the picture. The black levels are horrible, at least compared to my other monitor. Lacks enough settings to make the picture look correct. You pretty much have to rely on bad presets.

Overall Review: If i could repurchase this I would buy a different model over this one even if its 50 bucks more.
