Hyper N520 on FX-8350

Cooler Master Hyper N520 - CPU Cooler with Copper Base and 5 Heatpipes

Pros: Works well, better than stock AM3 coolers by a lot. Brackets fit AM3+ processors, large enough but not too large for Rosewill Cruiser case, about 4 cm of clearence. Comes with thermal paste.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I accidentally installed it backwards, so had to remove and flip both fans, wasn't a big deal as both are held on by 4 bolts. Everyone keeps saying how small this cooler is and got me worried, but its plenty large if your aren't doing extreme OC

MSI GE40 SSD

Pros: Fast, very responsive. Extremely quick start times (near those of Microsoft surface pros) can easily handle most all games out there on high to medium high settings, which still looks great on a 1600x900 display. Laptop is thin and light, making it great for a portable gamer, wifi isn't the best but is plenty good enough for gaming though i would still recommend using cat-5 for added network stability. Battery life is prettty good,

Cons: This thing gets hot. like really hot. like i would recommend a cooler pad if your gaming over a long period of time just to keep the temps down. Overclocking is not really an option until the stock cooling system is upgraded. It must just put out a lot of heat off of the 760 cause it has two solid copper heatpipes while the haswell i7 has only one. You might even be able to burn yourself off of the air getting pushed out of this thing. The screen isn't the best, highly effected by angles The area of palm-rests around the touch-pad are very easily smudged, could be hard keeping clean

Overall Review: Overall a great laptop and definitely one to consider, i am very happy with my purchase and am greatly enjoying this laptop.1080p isn't necessary on a 14 inch screen, but windows 8 can be a toss up if a pro or a con, i just got a shell that gave me a start button and then i was just fine with it.
