Fantastic Power Supply!

SeaSonic FOCUS GX ATX 3 (2024) GX-1000 1000 W ATX 3.1 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Power Supplies
SeaSonic FOCUS GX ATX 3 (2024) GX-1000 1000 W ATX 3.1 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Power Supplies

Pros: -High quality components with a best in class warranty. (10 years / or 12 years on Seasonic's Titanium and Platinum PSUs) -The cables are all modular, and made of very high quality and flexible materials. -The fan for the PSU is utterly silent on my PC build. -Arrived quickly, and in perfect condition.

Cons: Cost tends to be the only downside, but paying for a quality PSU with 3.1 ATX standards doesn't come cheap. Do NOT cheap out on a PSU for your PC, it can cause so many problems later on.

Overall Review: I remember and ad LTT ran for Seasonic over the Christmas holiday a few years ago. They didn't brag about their quality, or top of the line features (Which they rightly could have). They bought an ad spot to simply wish everyone a Merry Christmas. That swayed me more than anything, they know their products are amazing and reliable.... But they went out of their way to spread a message of hope and happiness. 10/10 would buy again.

Free Game?!

AMD Monster Hunter Wilds Game Bundle - AMD Radeon GPU
AMD Monster Hunter Wilds Game Bundle - AMD Radeon GPU

Pros: I won't say no to a free game!

Cons: In order to activate it on steam you have to jump through a few hoops. When activating it on steam, it mentioned that it encountered issues at the final step. Just give it 24 hours once you have redeemed it on steam and it should work just fine. Patience is a virtue, and AMD wants you to have it.... Full steam ahead.

Overall Review: It's a free $70 game, and i bought a reasonably priced GPU in the process... That is a win-win!

Lots of Fast Ram

G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6400 (PC5 51200) Desktop Memory Model F5-6400J3239G32GX2-TZ5RK
G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6400 (PC5 51200) Desktop Memory Model F5-6400J3239G32GX2-TZ5RK

Overall Review: Works as advertised, I was able to easily run the ram OC'd at 6400 speeds. I reduced the speed and cleaned up the timings too... I am currently running at 6000 speeds @ CL 28. I feel like I could go to a lower CL, but I haven't had the need to tweak the ram too much and risk instability in my system. However, your milage may very based on your individual Motherboard. 10 / 10 would recommend for anyone looking for 64GB of ram and works well with a 9800X3D.

Silent and Capable Case

Fractal Design Torrent RGB Black E-ATX Tempered Glass Window High-Airflow Mid Tower Computer Case
Fractal Design Torrent RGB Black E-ATX Tempered Glass Window High-Airflow Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: -Love the ARGB aesthetics and massive interior room. -Gigantic and efficient fans for 'fantastically' quiet performance. -Includes fan hub, and all the cables you could need for connections. -Front panel offers (1x USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C (20 Gbps), 2x USB 3.0, HD Audio). -Case ships with lots of extras: fan brackets, extra screws, GPU anti Sag Holder, etc. -With the 180 and 140 fans, this case is a very good deal, Priced very reasonably. -Product arrived quickly and in perfect condition.

Cons: -This is a BIG case, like comically big. I have a EATX Mobo, and I still have plenty of room for all the water cooling pumps, reservoirs, and tubing I could ever need. That being said, if you are water cooling, a lot of the Pros of this case: fans and airflow design of this case won't matter much.

Overall Review: For the price, quality, aesthetics, and ease of use when building in it... I would rate this a 10 / 10. But if you're are looking for a smaller build, I would recommend a different option (Fractal Compact or Nano) This case is big and beautiful.

Solid and built to last

Pros: This review for ASRock review rebate program. -4 NVME Ports (3 gen 4 / 1 gen 5) -Gen 5 speeds on GPU + CPU -Fantastic build quality and heavy backplate -I love the look and quality of the Taichi X870.

Cons: -EATX boardsize, Fits my Fractal Torrent case, but limited case options compared to ATX.

Overall Review: Great product, I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a AM5 Platform that wants all the bells and whistles. As long as your case fits EATX motherboards.
