Pros: Works extremely well at keeping temps low and stable. I used it to OC my i7 3770K to 4.7GHz (1.288 volts). Temps never got above 76 C on any of the cores after 10 hours running the most extreme torture test Prime95 offers. I especially like the fact that the rubber tubing is connected to swivel mounts, so no matter where you mount the radiator, there's no twisting issues with the tubing system. In addition, it comes preloaded with thermal paste.

Cons: I have a Antec Lanboy air Blue/Black ATX case and it took a while to figure out how to mount it, so I would suggest researching your case first to make sure it's compatible with this system. As expected, the fans can rev up quite a bit, creating more noise - this isn't really a con, just a heads up.

Overall Review: I highly recommend this cooler. I couldn't ask for a better cooling solution and I'm 100% satisfied.

Pros: I can't find much to like about his product.

Cons: I thought Crucial was a solid brand, so I went with this SSD. It failed after a couple months. I decided it was a fluke and purchased the same model again. That one failed in less than 6 months. Based solely upon my experience, I will never purchase another Crucial SSD. Using Samsung atm and having zero issues.

Overall Review: I would not recommend this SSD. Crucial seems to be having issues with this model.

Pros: - Beautiful simple design - Separate compartment for PSU - Multiple dust filters - Cable management features - Plenty of room for huge GPUs

Cons: - No cons

Overall Review: I'm picky about cases and prices so it took a while to form a list. In the end I chose the NZXT H7 Flow Black because the design was simple, beautiful and the price was extremely competitive ($109). This mid tower was easy to build in and has features that make wire management a breeze. The bottom compartment hides the power supply and all the wiring flowing from it, creating a clean, tidy look. I was concerned that my XFX Merc 310 7900 XTX wouldn't fit (length is 13.54 inches) but even after installing a intake fan directly in front, there was plenty of room for the card AND the horizontal no-sag bracket. The power button, USB and audio inputs are on top so the front looks clean.

Pros: - Extremely fast - Very efficient - Easy to cool - Massive cache - Still king of gaming CPUs in Feb '24

Cons: - Absolutely no cons

Overall Review: I upgraded from a 5600X to a 7800X3D, with expectations reigned in. I was hoping for an additional 20 or possibly 30fps in games like DayZ, Escape from Tarkov and Cyberpunk. What I got was a big surprise! My average fps increased by 50+ in both games and the 1% lows shot way up. This translated into buttery-smooth game play. If you're suffering from poor game performance, especially in Tarkov, I highly recommend this CPU!

Cons: - None.

Overall Review: I've been using G.Skill memory for several builds now and recently moved from a AM4 system to a new AM5 build. G.Skill never disappoints. Installed two DIMMs, enabled XMP in the BIOS and it's running at 6000MHz as advertised. This RAM is paired with a Ryzen 7800X3D and it's the perfect combo for a smooth running system!

Pros: - Rock solid - Simple BIOS - Great board for a 7800X3D - Has all the features you need for a AM5 build at a lower cost than others

Cons: - None

Overall Review: After buying ASUS boards for 20 years, I decided to give AsRock a try. I've had this board installed for around 3 weeks (with a 7800X3D) and it's rock solid. I've encountered no issues with it and the performance is stellar. This B650 board has no RGB (which is refreshing) and a simple BIOS with features that actually work. I would highly recommend AsRock if you're in the market for a AM5 build.

This company emailed me before they shipped the item to verify I was ordering correctly (motherboard). It shipped from China and was on my doorstep in 4 days! Excellent service!
