Pretty good

EVGA 600 B1 100-B1-0600-KR 80+ BRONZE 600W Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply
EVGA 600 B1 100-B1-0600-KR 80+ BRONZE 600W Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply

Pros: It has enough power to run my GTX 1060 and i5 6600.

Cons: My specific model came with a defective power cord. (The one that connects the PSU to an outlet) The cord is really fidgety and if it moves even the slightest amount it'll cut power to my entire system. I borrowed a friend's PSU power connector just to see if it was the cord or not, and his cable worked perfectly.

Overall Review: Just have to buy a separate cable now...

Don't Buy It

EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 DT DirectX 12 11G-P4-6694-KR 11GB 352-Bit GDDR5X PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 DT DirectX 12 11G-P4-6694-KR 11GB 352-Bit GDDR5X PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: -Absolutely great performance, knocks out every game I throw at it. -Great cooler, it can turn the fans on separately depending on which part needs cooled. (GPU or power delivery) -Looks good -RGB

Cons: -Don't buy it

Overall Review: Okay, so I purchased this card thinking it was the EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FTW 3 edition. I get the box, it says EVGA FTW 3, and I install it and it's all working great with great performance. I look at the card though, and the FTW3 logo isn't on the side. I go back to newegg and look at its page. It's the FTW3 DT. What? Wow, I can't believe I missed that. It comes with lower clocks according to newegg, and doesn't have the FTW3 logo on the side. Just look at the picture, it's a line instead. Even though Newegg says that it comes with lower clocks, GPU Boost 3.0 still takes mine up to a steady 1880MHz without touching anything manually. Instead of this, get the regular FTW3 edition for the same price.

Quad Core i5

Intel Core i5-6600 - Core i5 6th Gen Skylake Quad-Core 3.3 GHz LGA 1151 65W Intel HD Graphics 530 Desktop Processor - BX80662I56600
Intel Core i5-6600 - Core i5 6th Gen Skylake Quad-Core 3.3 GHz LGA 1151 65W Intel HD Graphics 530 Desktop Processor - BX80662I56600

Pros: It's fast, I use it with an MSI GTX 1060, and the CPU hasn't bottlenecked any games yet. I've played several games, such as DOOM 2016, Battlefield 1 beta, For Honor alpha, and The Witcher 3. The CPU didn't bottleneck any of these games, and it's done everything I need it to do very quickly. I use the stock cooler because it doesn't really need an aftermarket one, because it's non-overclockable. I've never seen this thing hit 50 degrees celsius. I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase.

Cons: None

Overall Review: If you have the extra wiggle room, I recommend getting the i5 6600k. Not that this one is bad, like I said I've had no problems. But if you get the 6600k, you can overclock it and it would be way more futureproof.

Absolutely Amazing Case

NZXT S340 Matte Black/Red Steel ATX Mid Tower Case
NZXT S340 Matte Black/Red Steel ATX Mid Tower Case

Pros: - I love how it looks - The thing on the bottom that hides the PSU and HDDs - Has enough room for anything you could want - Did I say that it looks sexy? - Tall feet so you can place it on carpet without worrying about the PSU not getting air - Comes with great filters, both for the intake fans and PSU - Easy to take apart and build - Very simplistic design, with a great layout - The cable management was the best, the easiest cable management I've ever done - Not only was the cable management simple, but it hides ALL the wires, I don't have any cables stretching across it - Because the HDD bays are in the bottom, the center part is wide open, making it perfect for air to travel through the case - It also has a great water cooling solution, plenty of room for any large water cooler to mount on the front

Cons: The paint does kind of scratch easily, and I hear the window does too. I've been extra careful not to scratch the window, so mine is fine so far. I only have one tiny scratch on the paint anyway, I don't think it'll scratch as long as you're careful.

Overall Review: The best case I've ever used

Perfect For Me

MSI Z170A GAMING M3 LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard
MSI Z170A GAMING M3 LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: I bought this motherboard because it included everything I needed. The computer I'm using it for is a single GPU system. Also, it goes with my black and red color scheme.

Cons: I bought this motherboard for $150, and the day after I bought it, it went on sale for $125, but that's not really a con to the product.

Overall Review: Yes, it's great for any single GPU system.

Great RAM

HyperX Fury 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4 2400MHz DRAM (Desktop Memory) CL15 1.2V DIMM (288-pin) HX424C15FBK2/8 (Intel XMP, AMD Ryzen)
HyperX Fury 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4 2400MHz DRAM (Desktop Memory) CL15 1.2V DIMM (288-pin) HX424C15FBK2/8 (Intel XMP, AMD Ryzen)

Pros: I bought this RAM because it's low profile, black, and fast. 2400mhz, fast enough for whatever you need 8GB has been enough for any game I've played, including The Witcher 3, Battlefield 1 beta, For Honor alpha, and DOOM 2016.

Cons: Nothing

Overall Review: Great RAM, definitely recommend it.
