Gigabyte MB

Pros: -Great price -Works with all of my components -Software is pretty good, provides one location for all drivers and bios updates
Cons: No issues for me.

8600G

Pros: -Able to play everything I've thrown at it for 1080p gaming. -Haven't had any issues with overheating or throttling - AMD drivers have been good and the software works well for turning on FSR and different profiles for each game.
Cons: -Definitely not for 2k or really high-end gaming -The heat sink and fan can get a little loud under full load, so you might consider another cooler.
Overall Review: This is a great processor that lets you play most games on high or medium at 1080p. Really impressed with how well this works, especially with FSR, getting 60 FPS in most games I play.
Samsung 990 Evo Plus

Pros: -Great drive with fast read and write speeds -Samsung drives have worked well for me over the years, so I'm sticking with what works
Cons: Zero issues for me
Overall Review: Samsung makes great drives and this is no exception
Asus MATX Case

Pros: -Really well put together and sturdy -Good cable management -USB-C on the front -Great airflow with the mesh case
Cons: -Only issue I had is that the area around where your motherboard sits goes up a little bit and made it difficult to install my USB Header on the bottom right of my board since it's at a 90 degree angle instead of straight up. Not a major con, just something to be conscious of when selecting a board with this case. My solution was buying a header extension cable that was able to bend into the tight corner.
Overall Review: Great case that I'm really happy with, just be careful with the headers on the board you get with this case.
Corsair PS

Pros: -Sturdy and well put together -Modular so you only use the cables you actually need for your build
Cons: -None, works great
Overall Review: This power supply is working great with lots of overhead for upgrades.

Pros: -The first set I got had one stick DOA, but I was able to use the other stick to get everything set-up and installed on my new system. -Newegg sent a replacement and working great. -Make sure to enable Expo or XMP profile in bios. -Running at 6000 mt/s with 8600G.
Cons: -No issues so far;works great.
Overall Review: -Definitely would recommend, works great.
