As Good as Advertised

G.SKILL Ares Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C10D-16GAO
G.SKILL Ares Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C10D-16GAO

Pros: Fast, good looking, low profile ram that makes my recent build hum and purr. If you know about timings and such, this is great, low cost ram!

Cons: None that I know of.

Overall Review: This is my second review I had my first taken down because... I was a idiot. I gave the RAM a bad review because I mistakenly believed that the new UEFI bios would and could make any RAM work in a plug and play manner. I WAS WRONG!!! I had to go in and set the timings and other data for this RAM BY HAND! After that it worked fine. Any problems I had were due to my own stupidity. Before you buy this RAM and install, please do yourself a favor and read up on your motherboard and what's required to adjust timings if necessary. My bad.

Great Idea in Concept but Poorly Executed in Real Life.

Cooler Master MasterAccessory Vertical Graphics Card Holder Kit V3 White with Premium Riser Cable PCI-E 4.0 x16 - 165mm, Compatibility PCIe 4.0 and older for E-ATX, ATX , Micro ATX Chassis (MCA-U000R-WFVK03)
Cooler Master MasterAccessory Vertical Graphics Card Holder Kit V3 White with Premium Riser Cable PCI-E 4.0 x16 - 165mm, Compatibility PCIe 4.0 and older for E-ATX, ATX , Micro ATX Chassis (MCA-U000R-WFVK03)

Pros: Strong, well made product able to hold my new Radeon 7800XT. All the parts were there and assembly was pretty easy and painless.

Cons: While the product seems pretty straight forward there are several MAJOR flaws in its design you should be warned about. 1. When mounted vertically the input/outputs on the back of your video card might NOT easily line up with available slots on the outside of the case. As a result any HDMI or DP cables might have to be installed PRIOR to mounting the card. 2. Stiff cables with long ends may require moving the card forward in the case to facility installation. 3. Moving the card too far forward may cause stress on the wired riser that enters your MB 4. Sliding the card forward may cause damage to the MB as the completely inflexible cable provided to run between the MB and the tray snapped off the retainer on my MB. The provided cord is too inflexible to allow use of all the mounts placement options.

Overall Review: Think about this VERY carefully before mounting a mid-tower case. The inflexibility of the provided riser cable makes this a potential waste of money. I suggest buying it, seeing if it fits or works without doing any damage to your MB. If it fits, keep it if not be very careful with the packaging and send it back.

A quick and easy upgrade.

G.SKILL Trident Z Neo (For AMD Ryzen) Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin RGB PC RAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC
G.SKILL Trident Z Neo (For AMD Ryzen) Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin RGB PC RAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC

Pros: Works seamlessly as did the 16GB kid it replaced. I'm not into overclocking so I appreciate that I didn't have any issues with it working with my X570 Aorus Master MB. Bios read it with out a hitch (I did update before upgrading) and there's been no hiccups since. I'm a minimalist when it comes to RGB in my case but these stick do add as nice touch of color. I'm quite satisfied

Cons: None that I can think of at the moment.

Overall Review: This is the second time buying this brand and model. I vote with my wallet. It's the good stuff.

Everything I expected and more!

AMD Ryzen 9 5950X - Ryzen 9 5000 Series Vermeer (Zen 3) 16-Core 3.4 GHz Socket AM4 105W None Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000059WOF
AMD Ryzen 9 5950X - Ryzen 9 5000 Series Vermeer (Zen 3) 16-Core 3.4 GHz Socket AM4 105W None Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000059WOF

Pros: Unlike the other guys, I've been able to upgrade my computer twice now by upgrading my CPU. Never has anything been so simple or seamless. Update bios, swap the chips, replace my thermal pad and attach cooler. Done in 5 minutes or less. Improvements in everything over my 3900X. They might not have the "gaming crown" forever, but this puppy gives me all I need without overclocking. But the main thing is I've been able to use the same motherboard now for years! Bravo AMD!

Cons: Price was a little high but at least you get what you pay for without having to go the scalper route. Wish GPU's were this available.

Overall Review: Anyone with a B550 board or above should buy this. Sure it's not future proof but nothing is.

Razer Kiyo Streaming Webcam: 1080p 30 FPS / 720p 60 FPS - Ring Light w/Adjustable Brightness - Built-in Microphone - Advanced Autofocus, Black

Pros: Light, bright and tight. Works well for streaming online lessons, words and music. Used for online learning and Zoom concerts Has done anything we've asked of it.

Cons: None that I know of.

Overall Review: Because of the "Rona, puddin' had to start teaching online.

Nice Case

NZXT H710i - ATX Mid Tower PC Gaming Case - Front I/O USB Type-C Port - Quick-Release Tempered Glass Side Panel - Vertical GPU Mount - Integrated RGB Lighting - Water-Cooling Ready - White/Black
NZXT H710i - ATX Mid Tower PC Gaming Case - Front I/O USB Type-C Port - Quick-Release Tempered Glass Side Panel - Vertical GPU Mount - Integrated RGB Lighting - Water-Cooling Ready - White/Black

Pros: Big for a mid size. Nice color contrast with the black and white. The NZXT software works pretty well for the most part. Easy to build in most of the time

Cons: The white bar makes cable management difficult for some mobo's. They've only one slot besides the main one for more room and that's right next to the other. I was forced to route my power cable and GPU cables around this bar in order to reach my Aurous Master mobo and Red Devil video card. You either have to drill holes in the case or remove the separator altogether for proper cable management. Check the size of you mobo BEFORE buying this case....

Overall Review: Not as good a case for cable management or airflow as I'd hoped.
