Good video card
Pros: Excellent card for all needs.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: The high end gaming snobs will probably tell you this is outdated and make it sound as though any new game it runs will be at 5 fps. However, for the rest of us who don't want to spend a fortune to play PC games, this is a great card.
Look cool but...
Pros: It looks cools. Pretty colors and all that.
Cons: Seems to be a common problem but the face was ripped off. Instead of dealing with the return process I glued mine back on with some Epoxy. The packaged PSU is incompatible with most new MB's and SATA. But, I got mine in a combo deal that came with a decent PSU.
Overall Review: Don't get this case. If you must get it because the combo deal is too good to pass up, have a different case or some glue handy because you're gonna need it.
Good keyboard and mouse
Pros: Great keyboard and mouse. No frills but works great.
Cons: none.
Overall Review: I have always been a fan of Microsoft PC peripherals, such as their keyboards and mice. It's ironic that, IMO, microsoft makes better hardware than software.
great cpu for price
Pros: This little gem is actually a quad core if you have a MB that can unlock the other two cores.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: I'm not sure it's work the 90 or so retail if it was only a dual core. But, if you have the right MB and the know how, you can get your money's worth from this CPU.
good cpu cooler
Pros: Large fan to move lots of heat away from the CPU. The manual fan controller is nice but probably not necessary.
Cons: Large. I had to remove my fan on the side of my case to make this fit with the case closed.
Overall Review: You should feel compfortable installing the fan mounting bracket on the MB before buying this cpu cooler.
good cpu cooler
Pros: Large quiet fan that keeps a cpu cool.
Cons: none.
Overall Review: You should be comfortable with taking apart the cpu fan mounting brackets on the MB before attempting this yourself. It's really not hard but, if you're not comfortable putting a screwdriver to your MB either buy a different one or find someone who can install it for you.
