Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 - Core 2 Duo Wolfdale Dual-Core 3.0 GHz LGA 775 65W None Integrated Graphics Processor - BX80570E8400
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 - Core 2 Duo Wolfdale Dual-Core 3.0 GHz LGA 775 65W None Integrated Graphics Processor - BX80570E8400

Pros: Great processor, huge improvement over Pentium 4 (not that I expected different). Amazingly fast, running Crysis at all high settings with a few Very High thrown in, COD4 at max settings, World in Conflict, etc. So glad I waited for these instead of the previous Conroes.

Cons: None

Overall Review: My Setup: E8400, 8800GTS 320MB, 4GB Patriot DDR2 800mhz, Vista Home Premium.

Simply Amazing

EVGA 896-P3-1257-AR GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
EVGA 896-P3-1257-AR GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: Super powerful. Maxed out Crysis Warhead and Far Cry 2 on 1680x1050 resolution with FC2 having 8x AA. The card overall is great though as other reviewers have said it is fairly large so make sure your case and PSU can handle it.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I started getting worried when my PC started shutting down due to overheating of this card. It was around 105C. Turns out the problem was a cord in my case was blocking the fan. Stupid mistake on my part but just make sure it doesn't happen to you.

Pros: Great connection, fast, makes it easy to extend your network.

Cons: LEDs are kinda bright.

Overall Review: I bought this to get an internet connection in my basement for my PS3 and 360. The old wireless was so slow in the basement I couldn't download anygame updates but now I have a great connection and download large files in seconds. Pair this with the Ethernet switch and you get a great network combination

Pros: Great system, its all contained within my case. Cooled my system down at least 20C. Though it is rather large, I was able to fit it all inside my NZXT Hush. Pretty easy to install.

Cons: none

Great

Pros: Great wireless router! Replaced my old SMC router which would drop the internet connection every half hour after 8:00PM (no idea why). This one was easy to set up, has great connection speed, great coverage, and is compatable with pretty much all types of wireless devices. Hasn'e dropped connection once

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I can finally play online games for more than 3 minutes.

Awesome!!!

Pros: This monitor is simply amazing, its an awesome improvement over my old 19" Dell monitor. The color is rich and vivid and all my games look absolutely fantastic. It was easy to set up (not that it wouldn't be) and I had no dead or stuck pixels. Overall this is a fantastic monitor especially for the price.

Cons: At times there is a slight humming sound from the monitor but you barely even notice it.
