Most Favorable Review
GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Easy to work with, easy to update bios. Onboard GPU works great (you can run onboard gpu + dedicated gpu to have more than 4 monitors). Gigabyte always has great documentation.

Cons: CPU socket so close to memory slots that with a Hyper 212+ I had to seat the memory in the 2nd and 4th slots. USB 3.0 slots aren't compatible with USB 2.0 (they may be if you install the USB drivers, I havent yet).

Overall Review: Windows 7 wouldnt install from a USB drive until I flashed to newest BIOS.

Most Critical Review

Bad quality control?

eDimensional Audio FX 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Force Feedback Gaming Headset
eDimensional Audio FX 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Force Feedback Gaming Headset

Pros: Excellent directional sound.

Cons: The Mic is very bad. 1)Its too short 2)Its too quiet even with maxed out mic volume settings. Bf2 Voip would barely pick it up, players could barely hear me. Headphones hurt my ears after 1 hour of gaming use.

Overall Review: I dont know if this force feedback is a pro or a con. Sometimes it's kind of cool, most of the time it's annoying, and turning it off makes the sound crisper it seems.

Great PSU

CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750M 750 W ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Semi Modular High Performance Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750M 750 W ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Semi Modular High Performance Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: Semi modular. The non-modular cables are just what you need - motherboard/cpu cable, one for your hard drives and other drives, one for fans, one for video card. Quiet

Cons: The CPU and motherboard cables are relatively short. If your PSU and motherboard isnt right next to each other they may not reach. My PSU is at the bottom and the CPU cable is stretched tight and just barely fits in. Also the plug is very bulky and it barely fit through the wire management hole at the top.

Overall Review: Been using it half a day. So far so good. Corsair has great warranty so even if it fails I know I'll get a replacement.

Very much like a ferrari indeed...

Acer Ferrari F-22 Black-Red 22" 2ms HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 20000:1 Built in AC Adapter

Pros: Vibrant image quality. Easy adjustments.

Cons: 1)GLARE. This monitor has AWFUL glare. As long as there is any light source in the room, you will see your own face reflected in the screen. 2)RED POWER LED - This monitor has a large red light (power indicator) which is always on. It's very irritating, I often to have to block it with something.

Overall Review: This monitor really is a ferrari - expensive, and high quality, but its not a daily driver. Also, dont install the disc. Really surprised by the other ratings. I think people who like glossy screens haven't tried non-glossy screens. Why would you WANT glare?

Quality but not for PC use

Sennheiser - Surround Sound Headphones (HD 555)
Sennheiser - Surround Sound Headphones (HD 555)

Pros: Incredible quality. Just blew me away. Very comfortable. Music became so...distinct and unmotone that my ears weren't used to it.

Cons: IMPORTANT: No volume adjustment on the headphones! That's right, you have to do all the adjustment through your sound panel or game settings. That makes them horrible for PC use, especially for games, because the sound level varies greatly from itunes to games to youtube.

Overall Review: considering returning them due to absence of volume adjuster...
