Great CPU

Intel Core i7 7th Gen - Core i7-7700 Kaby Lake Quad-Core 3.6 GHz LGA 1151 65W BX80677I77700 Desktop Processor
Intel Core i7 7th Gen - Core i7-7700 Kaby Lake Quad-Core 3.6 GHz LGA 1151 65W BX80677I77700 Desktop Processor

Pros: This is a perfect product for people who don't want to overclock like me. Super fast, easy to install.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I bought a Cooler Master EVO 212 to take the place of the stock fan. This is always the trickiest part of a build for me, but I had no problems to speak of.

Well Priced Optical Drive

Pros: It works! Not much else to say except that.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I don't use it much, but it's nice that it's there when I need it. Runs fast and quiet and is reasonably priced.

Great Fan!

Pros: Quiet, easy to install. Well priced

Cons: None!

Overall Review: I bought two of these to go with a Fractal case. Aside from being to dumb to realize that for front installation the screws come with the case, not the fan, everything else went perfectly.

Terrific card

Pros: This is the coolest card I have ever owned. It's fast as heck too. No problems with drivers or installation. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

Cons: Nothing as of yet and I've been using this card for 2 months every day.

Great Heat Sink

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151

Pros: My Ivy Bridge i5-3750 is running the coolest I have ever had with any of my PCs. This thing works great! It helps cool the rest of the case too. It's quiet and I thought the price was far as well

Cons: Installation was not easy for me. The instructions were almost unreadable. Thank goodness for youtube and the excellent step-by-step videos there.

Overall Review: Installing this increased my tech level rating from 3 to 4 stars. I'll understand it better next time, but the first time had me pulling my hair for a while. Now that it's installed I am really impressed how much better this heat sink performs compared to the one that intel provides.

Solid Board

Pros: This was my first ground up build and I must say I really liked this motherboard. The biggest compliment I can give it is actually the instructions which made referenceing for a nervous/eager builder easy. Everything else went according to plan in large part because this board was so well designed and contructed.

Cons: One more IDE port would have been nice, just because I would have liked to have savaged my old system for 2 optical drives (I did manage to install 2 of my old hard drives though with the single IDE port). This wasn't going to happen with any relatively new board however, so perhaps it's not fair to criticize it in this respect.
