Pros: Cheap, fast, best deal on the market for budget gaming and general productivity. The minuscule benefit you get with hyper threading on i3's is not worth the near 100% relative price hike. I mainly play CS:GO and Starcraft 2, and it destroys both games.

Cons: Idles at 38 degrees Celsius with stock cooling

Overall Review: Get a decent $50 mobo, cheap ram, and an ok videocard (HD7700), and you will be able to play every game on the market very, very smoothly with the settings turned down. Today's low end components are VERY capable and can push very high frames if you just lower the settings. If you care about visuals, and cranking up the physics, then get an i5 and HD7970. At this price, there is no reason to get an i3. Get a Pentium, or an i5.

Pros: Well it looks nice in the pictures, and in person. Its cheap, and the front intake fan cover looks nice....

Cons: Very, very flimsy. Crummy PSU ratings, (only 14amps on the 12volt rail for a 450watt PSU?!?!) My case arrived damaged, and it wasn't FedEx's fault. The box it came in wasn't severly mangled, so it must have been damaged by the manufacturer (One 5.25 drive cover was cracked, the whole front panel came off, and there were a few loose screws that fell out when I was inspecting the case.}

Overall Review: I needed this case to make my dad a computer for fathers day, and this case fit the bill.

Pros: Cheap, good BIOS, does what I need it too. Had no issues booting from a USB drive to install windows.

Cons: PCI-E 1x slot is too close to the PCI-E 16x slot. Your GPU probably needs to be a true single slot to accommodate a sound card or internal wireless adapter.

Overall Review: If you aren't going to use more than 2 SSD's and 2 HDDs, more than 2 sticks of ram, or overclock, then this is a great motherboard.

Pros: Incredibly quiet, incredibly cool, single 12vrail, cheap, 3 yr warranty.

Cons: Cables are on the short side.

Overall Review: Guts are made by HEC. Component quality is good, but not excellent. Crossload less than desirable, but in practicality this doesn't matter a whole lot. Also, I wish newegg would stop pooling reviews with other products what the hell is that?

Pros: Very quiet, great price/performance. 60+ fps typical in BF3 on all low with 2xMSAA and 4xAF @ 1600/900 with a G3220. 80+ fps with AA and AF off. It looks very minimalistic, but very clean as well. Good for competitive gamers on budget who turn down settings anyway. Very very good for source games.

Cons: Cooler was fatter than I thought, so I blocks my PCI-E 1x slot on my mATX motherboard.

Overall Review: Either get this or a 7950. Everything inbetween is a needless compromise. Either max out your games, or don't. And remember, framerate is king.

Pros: Got it for $34, and it works. Great warranty policy too.

Cons: Only DDR1333, but I knew that when I bought it and my current CPU doesn't support anything faster. Good match.

Overall Review: I built a new system, and I was having some troubles. So I ran memtest 86+ for 18 passes, and 0 errors were found. Ultimately I determined it was a hard-drive problem. Would buy G.skill again.
