Blown away...

EVGA 012-P3-2078-KR GeForce GTX 560 Ti - 448 Cores (Fermi) Classified Ultra 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
EVGA 012-P3-2078-KR GeForce GTX 560 Ti - 448 Cores (Fermi) Classified Ultra 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: - Not too loud - Performs better that a stock GTX 570 - Performs almost as well as a stock GTX 580 when overclocked from 810MHz to 900MHz -Got mine for $239.99 with MIR. -Newegg ships like a boss

Cons: What are these cons you speak of, Newegg?

Overall Review: I like trains.

Happy with this item

"Samsung's SSD Hardware is Stupid Fast"

SAMSUNG 830 Series 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7PC128B/WW
SAMSUNG 830 Series 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7PC128B/WW

Pros: • Probably the most reliable solid state drive on the market. • Cherry-picked toggle NAND. • I bought this speed demon when it was $100... and there was a $15 promo code. Incredible deal. • Everything is instant; I can boot my PC and launch 20 demanding applications in about a minute. • SandForce speeds without the SandForce problems.

Cons: • The most inconsistent pricing I've ever seen, be sure to get this this when it's around $100... It's gone up to $190 and back down to $100 a couple times a day. Nothing with the drive, but I've only had it for about a day...

Overall Review: ... I'll leave a review every six months just to check up on things. I'm running this sweet drive off of an ASUS Z68 board with a 2500K, 8GB of RAM, and a GTX 570. Pretty nice gaming setup for the money

Still great after 7 months

CORSAIR HX series HX650 650 W ATX12V v2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
CORSAIR HX series HX650 650 W ATX12V v2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Efficient, VERY quiet, black cables with an exception of the 8 pin EPS cable and the 24 pin cable, and a seven year warranty. It powers a GTX 570 and an i5-2500K. Great for your average gaming rig.

Cons: None, really.

Overall Review: Specs: (For comparison. Not trying to brag or anything) -Intel i5-2500K Processor 3.3GHz -EVGA GTX 570 -Corsair Vengeance 8GB Memory 1600MHz -Corsair A50 CPU Cooler -Intel 330 120GB Solid State Drive -ASUS P8Z68-V LE Motherboard -Some random DVD Burner -Corsair HX650 Power Supply -Corsair 650D Case

Better than anything I've ever owned!

Intel Core i5-2500K - Core i5 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge Quad-Core 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Intel HD Graphics 3000 Desktop Processor - BX80623I52500K
Intel Core i5-2500K - Core i5 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge Quad-Core 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Intel HD Graphics 3000 Desktop Processor - BX80623I52500K

Pros: -VERY overclockable -Huge upgrade from Phenom II X4 -Probably the best processor for under $250.00 at the moment -Newegg ships uber fast

Cons: The stock Intel cooler is awful. You'll probably want to invest at least $30.00 in some good after market air cooling.

Overall Review: I was too impatient to wait for Ivy Bridge, haha
