GeIL SUPER LUCE 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Desktop Memory Model GLR416GB2400C15DC

Pros: solid memory so far.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Red Led does a strobe thing like a fade in and out I assume as its reading and writing. Not sure if you can control things but I doubt it. I got the 2400 series and can run it at 2600 without locking up and stable after 2 hours of burn in.

Logitech Z506

Logitech Recertified 980-000430 Z506 75 Watts RMS 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers (Scratch and Dent)
Logitech Recertified 980-000430 Z506 75 Watts RMS 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers (Scratch and Dent)

Pros: No Idea.

Cons: These were purchased as a refurbished. I got a brown box and 4 speakers,that is it,no manual,no cables no center speaker.Called Newegg and explained the issue. They said these refurbs are straight from Logitech and when they contacted Logitech,Logitech made no attempt to send cables or a manual. I will be safe in assuming Logitech believes this is the only product of there I was considering,it wasn't. The lack of professionalism on a bottom of the line set can be a good indication of the level of service you can expect when buying a more expensive product from them. I was 2 days from buying a G900 its a good thing they showed me not to trust them straight away.In that regard thanks Logitech I will not be buying anything from you in the future. Better to stick with good companies like Corsair.

Overall Review: See Cons.

Corsair DARK CORE RGB PRO CH-9315411-NA Black 8 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB 2.0 Type-A SLIPSTREAM/Bluetooth Wireless, Wired Optical FPS/MOBA Gaming Mouse, Backlit RGB LED
Corsair DARK CORE RGB PRO CH-9315411-NA Black 8 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB 2.0 Type-A SLIPSTREAM/Bluetooth Wireless, Wired Optical FPS/MOBA Gaming Mouse, Backlit RGB LED

Pros: None

Cons: Mouse is too small for my hand and too large for 2 fingers so you end up rubbing your ringer finger on the side. It will not register click from time to time and when you have a shot lined up and click if it doesn't work you have to redo that shot. It is slow to respond sometimes when it does work correctly. I bought this mouse thinking it would be nice to upgrade my G900 now the mouse sits in my closet with the K100 and I have to use my old stuff.It is not an upgrade it is a major downgrade.

Overall Review: To say I feel robbed wold be an understatement. This mouse is garbage,the plastic is likely worth more than the functioning mouse. It kills my game and my characters when I use it. It is slow and does not register input. I would say when it does its likely a full half second response time for it. I may buy some equipment to test it out.

G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) Desktop Memory Model F4-3000C16D-16GTZR

Pros: The ram works

Cons: The lights are horrible,so many conflicts.One of my sticks stopped working after 6 months,it will not light up at all no matter what I do. I would RMA but turn around is said to be a few months,plus the ram side of it works the lights just wont turn on.

Overall Review: If you have any board/gpu that is not Asus it will likely conflict with whatever software you use to control the rgb side of those boards.

Corsair cables

Corsair CP-8920049 Professional Individually Sleeved DC Cable Kit, Type 3 (Generation 2), RED
Corsair CP-8920049 Professional Individually Sleeved DC Cable Kit, Type 3 (Generation 2), RED

Pros: nice firm wires good build

Cons: No Motherboard cable, so switching to these cables is pointless if you are doing a custom build as you will be forced to get the 24 pin MoBo cable from somewhere else.

Overall Review: not worth the money imo,not without the motherboard cable the 24 pin. I just stayed with the default so it would all match. I will keep this set incase I need a spare cable but it is pointless without that MoBo cable.

The biggest loser starts now

Corsair Certified CP-9020036-NA AXi series AX760i 760W Digital ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS PLATINUM Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: Keeps people out of my room when it is on,even me.

Cons: Voltages are completely off power draw is off as well. When you restart or just start there is a audible clanking sound,as if Andy Samberg is in there mad about something. Corsair is good about these things and they will repair it but then what I am out of my PC till they decide to get around to it.Honestly I like Corsair but this PSU is Corsairs "Black Album" dont bother let them recycle them they can get more for the raw metal that way.

Overall Review: Dear Corsair, Stop making junk like this. I trusted the company to provide a quality part,the inconvenience is more of a hassle than you can imagine. So if you plan on surfing on your good name while making inferior products we tend to catch on pretty quick.Yea don't do that.
