Pros: I was a bit afraid that he would be an overheating meteor , but I am really happy to say that the cpu I got is really awesome . I don't overclock super high , only running at 4.7 GHz so far and the CPU overs between 55 and 65 degrees Celsius during gaming or benchmarking . Please invest in a good CPU cooler just to be sure I have Noctua NH-D15S and it's an awesome combo . I am coming from an z68 mobo with an OC 2600k and I truly see a difference between the 2 and I really like the m2 slots and the SATA 3 controller on the z270 chipset (MSI Z270 xpower) If you find a good deal on a good MOBO and this CPU you won't regret your move .

Cons: not an 8700k , but performance is close enough in actual gaming with a good GPU . I was scared about heating issues but mine perform real well so far .. I bit sad that 8700k pricing was 50$ over the MSRP , anyway the choice of good motherboard was scarce for this CPU with the new z370 chipset .

Overall Review: Got the CPU in special and with 2 free games .

Pros: nicely priced DDR4 3600MHZ with decent CAS latency works great out of the box in my old Z270 I7 7700k . I never thought that upgrading ram speed would bring more smoothness in my gaming experience but it does compared to the DDR4 3000 CAS15 that I was using previously. anyway this kit was purchase for a Future build and so far I'm impressed

Cons: no bugs so far I hope it stays that way for the long run.

Overall Review: If you don't mind not having RGB on your ram kit this kit is pretty awesome for the price and the heat spreader is shorter than my Previous Corsair RGB LED DDR3000 KIT. Running and I7 7700k (only OC to 4.8GHZ) Noctua Air Cooler with an EVGA RTX3070 FTW ULTRA MSI Z270 Xpower GAMING TITANIUM

Pros: I needed this kind of SLI bridge for my MSI motherboard and it works perfectly. Nice value.

Cons: No fancy lights like other HB bridge

Overall Review: take your measurements inside your own motherboard before ordering those rigid bridges. this bridge is only for a future add-on only tested GTX 970 in sli , This bridge won't do bring any improvement but it will when a SLI 2x GTX 1080 TI

Pros: I am grateful for the people who left great comments or good reviews on the internet for this card since I am really happy about it. construction is top notch and performance is really awesome. The card is really sturdy and no sag compared to my Asus strix GTX 970(small flex) . and also compared to the monstrous asus STRIX GTX 980 Ti that is longer (sag more ) The performance of the MSI cooler is really amazing compared to the asus 980 ti. You hear nothing and the card also heats less and use the same power under load but gives you way better frame rate . I am really glad I switched to MSI .

Cons: this card does not overclock super high I will give my self more time to tune it but overall GPU clocks don't ramp up easily past 1950 . -Pricing was still a bit high -Now the card is gone for good it seems out of stock (wanted maybe 2 for SLI but that would have been overkill and a waste of money at current Canadian pricing)

Overall Review: Nvidia made no game bundles this time around. Hope the card will be reliable over the life of the card.

Pros: small foottprint and a good amount of space for the size this thing really flies on an USB 3.0 port on a mac book air i need to the test the speed on my tabletop windows PC to see the speed on USB 3.0

Cons: on my regular Windows notebook speed is not impressive since it's USB2.0 but it works .. i started a transfer of 200 gigs it starts fast and then crumbles to 15 meg writing speed which is kind of normal for USB2.0 .. eventually i will have another windows notebook with native USB 3.0

Overall Review: if you have a usb 3.0 you will see a big advantage of speed in both reading and writing ..

Pros: The drives are really awesome .. you owe it to yourself to buy at least 2 of them to make a RAID 0 array and make your PC Fly .. i mostly install my games , and my windows temp directory on it .. highly recommended

Cons: they are a little noisy but only when i bench them . when i play games or run software the noise is bearable

Overall Review: i's a sad thing that my computer as not enough sata 3 ports i have an SSD raid 0 on those ports and the Velociraptor are on the sata 2 port which is ok since those drives don't have enough throughput .. if the newer ones happens to be on sale i might switch to those one day...
