Most Favorable Review

Awesome MOBO almost no issues.

ASUS Prime X570-Pro Ryzen 3 AM4 with PCIe Gen4, Dual M.2, HDMI, SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2 ATX Motherboard
ASUS Prime X570-Pro Ryzen 3 AM4 with PCIe Gen4, Dual M.2, HDMI, SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2 ATX Motherboard

Pros: - Posted first try - SLI and Crossfire Support - SSD Heatsink

Cons: - No Wifi - Installs Armoury Crate on bootup to windows (you have to opt out in MOBO) - Integrated Fan makes me worry about the long term

Overall Review: AMD 3900X GTX 1080 TI 32 GB GSKILL Trident Z 3200 5 Starts because I knew what I was getting, and while I don't agree with auto installing software. I can get past it without docking a star.

Most Critical Review

Horrible Memory

Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model BLS2K4G3D169DS3
Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model BLS2K4G3D169DS3

Pros: None, works I guess...

Cons: Not compatible with AM3+ motherboards.... I tried on an msi G46, and a Gigabyte 970A-D3P and neither motherboard recognized it. However, I tried it on my Asus Z87 mobo and worked on the first try. This is terrible compatibility for a RAM module. Very disappointing.

Overall Review: Would not buy again, would not recommend, cheaper memory has worked way better. Need to return this still... and asap...

Works

Long Term Review

NZXT Phantom PHAN-003RD Red White Finish w/Red Trim Steel / Plastic Enthusiast ATX Full Tower Computer Case
NZXT Phantom PHAN-003RD Red White Finish w/Red Trim Steel / Plastic Enthusiast ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Tons of cable management space and ventilation. The core functions of this PC Case are amazing.

Cons: The quality of the peripheral gimmicky stuff isn't so great. For example, the LED lights in the fan and the Fan controller module are burning out one by one. I have like 3 lights out in the fan and 2 in the fan controller. I guess it's not that big of a deal but it does make the case look old now. So minus 1 egg.

Overall Review: Would I buy it again? probably. It's good bang for buck. But it's not perfect and there are prettier cases out there now.

Pros: Well it's kind of a shabby keyboard and really limits your typing speed. But for 9$ it really does what it's supposed to and doesn't pretend it's anything else.

Cons: I find my typing speed hinder by it.

Overall Review: If really on a tight budget this will get you somewhere but I feel like its a temp. subsititute while you get something better.

Pros: Incredibly impressed with the performance and the quietness. Been running Grid 2 and all my games on ultra and I can't even hear the thing after 4 hours straight.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Would buy all over again. No regrets.
