Most Favorable Review

Great price, great board.

MSI 990FXA-GD65V2 Desktop Motherboard - AMD 990FX Chipset - Socket AM3+
MSI 990FXA-GD65V2 Desktop Motherboard - AMD 990FX Chipset - Socket AM3+

Pros: -BIOS interface is wonderful, I'm loving the OC Genie and the little extras that can make life a bit easier on occasion. -Beautiful looking board (So, looks don't always matter, but to me, if a board looks bad aesthetically, they probably didn't put too much care/effort into it when they made it) -Paired it with an AMD Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition and they're working beautifully together.

Cons: -I was KIND OF terrified when I had issues plugging the 24-pin power plug from my PSU into the board and was having to put a LOT more pressure on it than I would have liked to get it secure... but that may have been the PSU's problem, so I won't knock off an egg since I don't know for sure.

Overall Review: Everything runs great on this board so far! If I have any issues, I'll have an updated review.

Windows 7

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit

Pros: I've loved the features of Windows 7 since I first got an upgrade from the deathtrap that was Windows Vista a few years ago. I've never had any major problems or anything bad to say about it since the day I started using it. Windows 8 may be great for tablets and phones, but for desktops... not so much. Win7 will remain the number one Windows Desktop OS for me for years to come. (And since NewEgg had it for $80 with a coupon code... how was I gonna pass that up?)

Cons: Nada.

Asus USB-N53 300Mbps Black Diamond Dual Band Wireless USB Adapter

Pros: -Great range -Easy to get up and running. Just grabbed the latest drivers, installed them, and plugged it in. -No latency issues like my last USB adapter -Got it for a great sale price +free shipping -Looks really nice with my tower (I love the design of this thing...)

Cons: -None so far.

Overall Review: I'll have an updated review if anything goes wrong.

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition - Phenom II X4 Deneb Quad-Core 3.4 GHz Socket AM3 125W Processor - HDZ965FBGMBOX
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition - Phenom II X4 Deneb Quad-Core 3.4 GHz Socket AM3 125W Processor - HDZ965FBGMBOX

Pros: -Clean and easy install -Happily hums along running everything I need it to from games, to music and video, to Photoshop and graphics programs, without even breaking a sweat. -Great for multitasking

Cons: -Hopefully... none, but I suppose only more time will tell.

Overall Review: I was confused and terrified when I was getting ready to install it and couldn't find a tube of thermal paste anywhere! ... Then after 20 minutes of panic and confusion... I realized it was pre-applied on the cooler. Then I went to bed and installed it in the morning, when my sanity had returned.

Wonderful

CORSAIR CX Series CX500 500W 80 PLUS BRONZE Active PFC ATX12V & EPS12V Power Supply

Pros: -Easy to install -Sleeved cables -Powers everything I needed it to, and more -Feels a LOT more solid than my old PSU...

Cons: -None so far. Will have an updated review if anything goes wrong.

Overall Review: Only owned it for a little over 2 weeks now, but I haven't had a single issue since installing it.

Yes. Simply, yes.

MSI Radeon HD 6770 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 Video Card R6770-MD1GD5

Pros: -Runs Skyrim at almost totally maxed out settings at around 30-50 FPS. -Stays cool while gaming. -Doesn't break the bank at $80. -Doesn't sound like an airplane prop spinning up when its under load.

Cons: None so far. Although I was a bit disappointed that it didn't come with a case badge, I can't really call that a con, or say its worth removing an egg. I mean... its a sticker. No big deal.

Quiet enough for me.

I've seen reviews saying these fans are loud, but I guess I've just been suffering with my horrendously loud fans for so long that these seeming so quiet is just me, and not them. Who knows. I like them. I made the mistake of getting 2 of the 140mm to put in a slot that accepted either 2x 120, or 1x 200, so I had to be creative and make 1 fit, and use a little electrical tape to dampen vibrations, since I couldn't use all 4 screws. The other 140 I put in the side of the case and it fit perfectly, again, with a little tape to reduce vibrations, it's as quiet as I could ask for. I would suggest making sure you have enough fan connectors on your Motherboard, if you don't have a fan controller, because I thought I had made a mistake until I noticed there was one near the PCI slots, so double-check your board before you buy. Solid fans. If you are REALLY wanting something quieter, I'd 100% recommend the quieter version of these, cause these are already pretty darn quiet for the price.
