Pros: ingenious msata gives you an extra space for dual hard drive configurations in notebooks i had my doubts that 30gb wasnt going to be enough for a boot+apps configuration and a HDD as storage drive, but i installed windows+every app, and still have 14gb free (look other thoughts for tips) Fast, not the blazing fast experience every first SSD buyer expects but then again SSD's are notoriously faster and almost all brands are far more reliable, i had some different brands around like intel,crucial, ocz and this is among the fastest and more reliable

Cons: not free

Overall Review: I installed alot of SSD's and always procure this tips 1- run ssd tweak utility to turn some features SSD's dont use 2- turn system restore off and delete every mb of this 3- turn hibernate off,run cmd as admn prev and type "powercfg.exe -h off" without quotes 4- install every program in C: but games, user library folders and STEAM valve (and big huge programs that go in gigabytes)are to be installed in the storage Drive (HDD) keep in mind i like to use the Boot drive (SSD)+ Storage Drive(HDD) configuration which i find extremly fast,reliable and money wise

Pros: Stable once you update bios, love msata interface, my windows boots in under 7 seconds (intel 80gb ssd) i installed an i5 3450s with anevga gtx 670 and is an excellentgaming low profile rig

Cons: This motherboard wont regulate the memory voltage as good as uwould expect cant make it boot below1.5v and tested the memory on another rig and it doessupport 1.25v

Overall Review: This mobois really good once u get to know itand update the bios with 0095

Pros: First intel build i ever had and i am LOVING it :p, definetly a step up from an AMD phenom ll and best ofall consumes alot less power

Cons: Stock coolerlooks fragile but since the cpu is not a power hog the cooler gets the job done

Overall Review: Wont overclock it and dont think it will be necessary

Pros: This card is basically unbeatable on price to performance ratio, havent overclocked and itcan handle crysis 2 in ultra and dx11 withhigh res patches I paired it with a i5 3450s cramped in a lian li Q11 l small and cool and great for gaming ajd lan parties

Cons: None, in a review they said that the heatsink wa not as good in the quality, but i took of mine off to replace the thermalpaste with arctic cooling mx-4 and mine had a nice quality finish

Overall Review: I used to be an AMD fanboy since Rage LT pro but prices on the 7000 series needs adjustment and the other fact to know whats so good about NVIDIA finally i bought one and an core i5 and i amGLAD my computer is cool,low profile and fast as hell

Pros: what a Case, tiny tiny and yet an airflow without match , just fitted and Intel i5 3450S witha EVGA GTX670, and nothingt goes above 60C, video card is kind of tricky to install but believe it this is the longest card u can fit

Cons: maybe they coul have made it at least 1 inch shorter but no biggy

Overall Review: my favorite cpu case ever Mobo: intel Dh77df mini itx H77 cpu: intel i5 3450S Ivy Bridge Mem: Gskill DDR3 1600 9-9-9-25 sniper SSD: intel 310 80gb OS HDD: hitachi 500gb Storage VGA: EVGA gtx670 PSU: Pc power & cooling Mark lll 600Watts Modular optical: bluray lite on

Pros: 1600 mhz 9-9-9-25 run great, no errors (see cons)

Cons: can make mine to undervolt to 1.25, just boots at 1.5

Overall Review: expected more from gskill, but still wont RMA sounds kind of unnecesary, just next time sell it as a normal memory stick
