Nice bang for the buck

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

Pros: Great card for the money. I hate the phrase "budget card", it makes it sound like it's some cheap junk. This is a bang for your buck steal and that's my whole way of thinking when it comes to building a pc.

Cons: The only con I have so far is that when those two fans get going it gets pretty loud.

Overall Review: Just a great card without the big price tag.

If you have an AMD fx then get this now.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151

Pros: Keeps the cpu very cool. in Prime 95 my max temp after about 30 minutes was only 41 Celsius. Compared to some others this is very easy to install. Quiet fan.

Cons: None that I can think of.

Overall Review: Using prime 95 with my stock cooler was making my pc overheat and shut down. I bought another 3rd party cooler and while it cooled it down some my temps in prime 95 were still getting to about 70 Celsius. I honestly didn't really think this would be any better and was contemplating getting a new cpu and motherboard . Boy am I glad I bought this.

So far, so good

Pros: No errors detected. Cloned my old Windows 10 disk to this one without a hitch. Partitioned it afterwards. Seems faster to boot than my old HDD even though both have the same speed stats.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I have only had this for two days so I will wait a while for the final verdict. So far though it's been fantastic.

Had it up and running in no time

Pros: Looks great, great chip set, value priced. Nice bang for the buck.

Cons: none so far.

Overall Review: I got it this yesterday and had it up and running in about an hour with new processor and graphics card. Booted up first with no problem. I've been mainly an MSI guy for the last 15 years and have never had to return a part.

After RMA good stuff

Wintec Value 4GB (2 x 2GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Laptop Memory Model 3VT8005S9-4GK

Pros: Great price and good value. Good performance/price ratio.

Cons: Had to RMA the first time but the replacement is working very well. Still not happy about the $10 dollars to return a .18 pound package but oh well.

Overall Review: Once the replacement came they ran perfectly. Not a hitch like everything else I've ever had from Newegg.

Excellent but costs to much

Pros: Very good media. Didn't have a single coaster and burned them on max settings. Very good lightScribe labels also. These are excellent.

Cons: The only con is the high price. And unfortunately these are the only Dual layers with lightscribe I have found, so the price probably won't be going down.

Overall Review: Excellent media that I would recommend to anyone.
