Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes

Pros: Price. QUIET and keeps my 955 be cold. Added another 120mm fan to it, biggest cpu cooler known to man but I like that.

Cons: Instructions were made poorly.

Overall Review: Make sure it will fit in your case. Fit in Xclio windtunnel perfect on an Asus M4A785TD-V EVO mb.

Icy Dock MB882SP-1S-1B | 2.5" to 3.5" Bay SATA HDD & SSD Converter / Mounting Kit /Bracket | EZConvert

Pros: SSD fit nicely inside it, dock fit nicely in my case. Free with purchase of X25-M.

Cons: DOA - Material is cheap for the price.

Overall Review: This is the only product that arrived DOA in my 4 years of newegg purchases. I blame the manufacturer. Dont buy, dont buy.

XCLIO Windtunnel Fully Black Finish 1.0 mm SECC Chassis ATX Full Tower Computer Case
XCLIO Windtunnel Fully Black Finish 1.0 mm SECC Chassis ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: This is a great case. QUIET Dual 250mm side fans, with mounts in the front and back for additional 120mm fans. Case is large and strong, also heavy, plenty of space inside. The blue leds look nice and you can adjust fan speed or just turn them off completely from the knobs/buttons on the front. Temperature monitor.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: If the fans sound like a jet engine when you first turn it on, its because the fans are hitting the leds. Move the leds away from fans.

Pros: Quality board. Copper PCB. Lots of room to mount a large aftermarket cooler, in my case a coolermaster hyper 212+ with dual 120mm push pull fan configuration. Looks nice.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Long time Asus customer, ive always known the boards to be reliable and affordable. Works well with 955 be.

POWERCOLOR PCS+ AX4890 1GBD5-PPH Radeon HD 4890 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card
POWERCOLOR PCS+ AX4890 1GBD5-PPH Radeon HD 4890 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card

Pros: After MUCH research I went with this because it seemed to be the best value for the money, it is. All games run smooth maxed out dx10, even crysis. (1680x1050 LG L227WTG)

Cons: One small thing that disappointed me about this and its probably not a big deal to anyone else but, this card did not come with a case sticker. My cpu, mb, even my ps came with them, this did not.

Overall Review: Still 5 eggs because the hardware is flawless, but for two cnotes you can throw in a darn(edit) sticker cant you?

Perfect

CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-650TX 650 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply & New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready
CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-650TX 650 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply & New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: Fan is quiet, PS is stable so far, single 12v rail, energy efficient. Plenty of power for an overclock 955 be and an overclocked 4890, 4 hard drives, 1 dvd drive. If your not going to waste your money on multiple video cards, this PS is all you should need.

Cons: Not modular.

Overall Review: I was going to purchases an OCZ power supply for slightly less than this one, but after reading the horror storys about bad customer service and rebate scams I decided to go with Corsair, worth the extra 20 bucks. Excellent product.
