Great Buy

PC Power and Cooling Silencer Mk II 750W High Performance 80PLUS Silver SLI CrossFire Intel Haswell Ready Power Supply

Pros: East to install in the case. Easy to identify the wires. Quiet! I don't hear it at all. If you don't mind it not being modular, it's a great buy.

Cons: The only con I can think of is it's not modular. And that's my fault. However, the wires I had left to deal with fit nicely in the case and out of the way.

Amazing Board

ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: This was my first build. Asus makes it so easy to install their motherboard. Instructions were good enough for a newbie. The board is amazing looking and I haven't had any issues at all with it. And it has a great warranty. The fans on it were easy peasy to install and they are silent.

Cons: The onboard Intel HD Audio sounds great. However it's only for the occasional listener. If your going to be doing any serious music listening or producing you'll have to get a sound card. There is no support for ASIO on this board. And no true digital i/o ports like the x-fi boards have.

Overall Review: Seriously, this card is amazing. No driver issues, no bios issues, it came to me perfect and works perfect. Bios is very easy to understand!

Nice!

Pros: So far it's living up to it's expectations. I'm a graphic designer so I don't do overclocking. It works great for me. Was easy to install considering it was my first time.

Cons: No cons.

What's to say...

Pros: What's to say...it's memory! It works and was easy to install. I liked the heatsinks, in just the right place to hang onto while installing.

Cons: None so far.

Classy!

Corsair Graphite Series 600T CC600TM Graphite Grey Mid-Tower Gaming Case

Pros: This case is amazing. Very well built and sturdy. Lots and I mean lots of room inside. This was my first computer build and I didn't have single problem with it! Honestly I thought I would be in trouble due to the fact that there really aren't any instructions for it. You don't need them. I put a Sabertooth Z77 in it and just followed the instructions for the motherboard and it all just fell together. I would definatly recommend this to anyone. Well worth every penny. I installed the Sabertooth, the OCZ 750W, Nvidia graphics, and DVD. I can't hear it! After booting it, I still had the grill side off and I actually stuck my head up in it to see if I could hear the fans. I had to listen hard to hear anything. Very subdued lights inside on the fans. Not enough to make you look like a gamer but definately pale blue techy. Install of the dvd took two seconds. Same for the hard drive and other cards. Side removal is worth the cost itself!

Cons: None really. The plate on the back for all of the out ports was hard to get on. Just be patient. It doesn't snap in hard but once it's in it's firmly in place.
