Most Favorable Review

Can't beat it.

Intel Core i5-4690K - Core i5 4th Gen Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 3.5 GHz LGA 1150 88W Intel HD Graphics 4600 Desktop Processor - BX80646I54690K
Intel Core i5-4690K - Core i5 4th Gen Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 3.5 GHz LGA 1150 88W Intel HD Graphics 4600 Desktop Processor - BX80646I54690K

Pros: Owned it about 6 months now with no hiccups. Got it OC'd to 4.0 without even touching the voltage. Will go higher eventually. Idle's in low 30's and hits mid 50's while gaming with 212 evo. Love this chip. Upgraded from AMD 8350. Night and day for sure. Will not buy AMD again.

Cons: Nothing

Overall Review: Could have got it cheaper on black friday.

Nope!

Pros: Nice specs.

Cons: Boot it, GPU fan loud and squeaky from the get go. Call for RMA. Get to windows and start installing some programs. Intermittently hangs constantly. Figure, ok, maybe its just Windows 10 not compatible with my programs. Format HD, install good old reliable Windows 7. Would have been fine with this. Nope, same stuff keeps happening. Slow Slow Slow at installs and updates. Random hangups. I'm a nerd so wanted to fix it myself. Start unplugging things figuring it must be a hardware issue. Can't figure it out then start to wonder why am I doing all this work on a BRAND NEW pre-build. If I wanted to do that I woulda built my own again. No time for that. That's why I got a pre-build. Frustrated. Wasted 3 days messing with this thing to no avail and many headaches. Send it back! Luckily Newegg is awesome and I am returning this for a refund. First and last time buying from CyberpowerPC.

Can't beat the price/performance.

MSI GeForce GTX 960 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support ATX Graphics Card GTX 960 2GD5T OC

Pros: Title says it all. Handles every modern game I throw at it with ease paired with a 4690k. Run most games at max at 1080p but usually have to bring down shadow quality and other minor things to keep it at 60fps where I like it. Overclocked this one easily without touching the voltage using Afterburner. Runs nice and cool as well.

Cons: Nothing at all.

Overall Review: LOVE this card! Thinking about SLI but will wait till price drops some more and when it starts struggling.

Nice!

ASUS TUF SABERTOOTH Z87 LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Durable, fast, paired perfectly with a 4690k. This is my first ASUS board in a long time. My last 3 builds have been Gigabyte mobo's and I was ready for a change( Nothing against Gigabyte, they have been great.). I wanted to see what all the hype was about with ASUS, and I am so far not disappointed. I slapped this in a Phantek Enthoo case(Amazing!) and was up and running in about an hour or 2. Haven't got to overclocking with it yet, but I am sure it will be fine. For the price, this can't be beat right now. I saw no need to go with the newest generation processors or DDR4 at this point.

Cons: Bit of a pain screwing the screws in the motherboard with the armor. Solved this by using a magnetic screwdriver.

Overall Review: Comes with a few little fans to install directly on board. I didn't bother with these as people have complained they are loud and I really see no need for them. Get it!
