xornet mouse
Pros: Great mouse, awesome claw grip. The side buttons are easy to use and feel solid to push. The mouse clicks are just gold, no problems at all. The DPI buttons are very handy for switching between games or programs and I have yet to push any of them on accident.
Cons: A little light but you get used to it.
gtx 550ti
Pros: I replaced my very much aging 9800gt with this card and man am i ever glad i did. It handles everything i throw at it and then some. bf3 at max res on high, wow on max, sc2 on max, and still holding 50+ fps on all of those games. I don't know why people hate on it so much, this card has done only wonders for me.
Cons: The fan is the loudest thing in my case, although i used the nvidia software to turn it up to 70% (it doesnt go any faster after that for some reason, haha) becuase it runs a little bit hot. Nothing too bad though, ive only got it to hit 70c in pretty much a torture test for a very extended amount of time.
Overall Review: I guess EVGA just doesn't like sending out the included adapter, i never got one and about every person who bought a card didn't either so oh well. Don't let all the nerds fool you, this card is an absolutely amazing card.
What fan? I don't hear a fan.
Pros: It might as well not exist, no matter what I can not hear this thing, yet it moves as much air as my 200mm fans. I bought two and put them in push pull and it's just almost unfair. I can never ever go back to another 120mm fan. And a 5 year warranty? Yes please.
Cons: A little pricey, but oh well. They should charge more for these imo.
Overall Review: People complain about the odd color scheme but I think it's great. It honestly looks really good, and stands out in your case, almost like a badge.
amd phenom 2 deneb
Pros: Unstoppable, best cpu i've ever owned. Such an amazing cpu is budget priced? Frack yeah. Boosted my performance an incredible amount. No problems at all, even the stock cpu fan kept this thing very cool. I went from a dual core to this and have never looked back. Handles crazy multi tastking, and any game or problem i throw at it.
Cons: The stock fan is a little loud, oh well, haha.
Overall Review: Sad to see these deactivated but i'm glad i got one while they were around. Although the FX series are great.
hdmi to micro hdmi
Pros: Works really well, no problems.
Cons: none at all
Overall Review: Bought it not seeing the to micro hdmi part (derp) but still a great product.
asrock 970 extreme3 am3+
Pros: My old mobo shorted on me one day, and this was the one i decided on. Best decision i've made in a good amount of time. UEFI bios is great, makes everything really easy. Lot's of fan connectors, the xfast ram actually did give me a good performance boost. No problems at all, no blue screens, no random power offs, nothing.
Cons: Can't think of any.
