Works good.

AMD FX-9370 Vishera 8-Core 4.4 GHz Socket AM3+ 220W FD9370FHHKBOF Desktop Processor - Black Edition

Pros: Have not had any issues with it. It runs fast and installed with no problems. Read more below.

Cons: This thing runs hot. Get a liquid cooling unit for this baby as it roasts without one. The wattage is unnecessary and I am not sure as to why it is higher.

Overall Review: I already had liquid cooling for my last processor. Another issue I ran into, which is most likely my fault, was that it was not compatible with my 1st gen Crosshair mobo. I had sent this back thinking it was DOA, but it turned out that the motherboard couldn't handle the wattage. I bought the Gen 2 Crosshair mobo and it worked fine. Still, kind of wish there was a little more information regarding the requirements for newer stuff, otherwise expect to spend more that you'd like.

Nice Picture

AOC U2879VF 28" 4K 3840 x 2160 UHD Gaming Monitor, 1ms Response Time, 10-bit Panel w/ Over 1 Billion Colors, AMD FreeSync, 20M:1 SmartContrast, DisplayPort/HDMI/DVI/VGA Inputs

Pros: -This monitor is awesome. I didn't have any problems getting everything to work. -It tilts up and down. -Everything plugs in nicely.

Cons: -The buttons at the bottom of the screen a little too far back in my opinion. You sort of have to reach back underneath the screen to get at them and you have to do a little guessing as to which one you are pressing. It's kind of hard to see the little symbols. But, that might be from my terrible eyesight. These issues are not enough to take an egg away though.

Overall Review: I bought this at $350. Right now, this is a pretty nice deal. You want a nice 4k monitor, this is it.

Awesome...

EVGA 04G-P4-2768-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 760 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support SC 4GB w/ EVGA ACX Cooler Video Card

Pros: Went in easy. I had to get an 8-pin plug that came with my current PSU and it worked like a charm. So, if you're buying this, make sure you have an 8-pin connector and a 6-pin connector. The card comes with attachments that will allow you to get the 8-pin working, but that requires two 6-pins by itself. Food for thought. :) Other than that this card is awesome. I played BF3 on everything maxed out with nooooooo skipping!! At all!

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: The game code I got free with this card didn't work. I had to contact Newegg for a new one and it's on its way. No reason to take off an egg for the card though.

Great Fan

NZXT Phantom PHAN-001WT White Steel / Plastic Enthusiast ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Love the length of this thing. The white is sick looking and the black on top of that makes it look better. I didn't look inside the case hard enough to find the box of bolts and screws. Before I found them I was like, "I gotta use the set screw from my other comp?!" But, I found them afterward. The fans run quiet, so far, and have ordered the side fan as well. I also liked the space behind the mobo for cable management. Very Nice.

Cons: I didn't like the small drive bay at the bottom so I took it out to give me more room for the big cable my Kingston PSU has. I won't take an egg off for that though.

Overall Review: For future reference to those just buying this case. It does NOT come with 3 fans. Read the description and find out. And if you want to get a fan to fill those slots you can ONLY get the NZXT brand. This seemed to be a problem for those that bought it, since they didn't read all of the description.
