Long lasting

Cooler Master Elite Power - 460W Power Supply

Pros: This PSU is awesome, i have had it for 2 years, 1 year no overclocking, and 1 year w/ it. My Phenom ii x4 965 BE is OC'd to 4.2 ghz 1.46 volts and my gtx 560 975/2150 at 101 2 mV

Cons: Its not a EVGA Supernova 1500w

UPDATE

MSI Z77A-GD65 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: It looked nice, It overclocked decently, and OC gene works awesomely, I never want to go back to the old school bios UEFI is very easy to use.

Cons: The PCI-E slots died, after a few months of having this board my video card was being detected, device manager or the bios. I tried many different video cards that worked in other rigs, in all lanes.

Overall Review: It was a good board, I put 1 egg because it was military class and expected it to last more that 1 year.

Solid

EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 750 G 80 PLUS GOLD Certified 750W Active PFC ATX12V v2.31/EPS 12V v2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Full Modular PSU 10 Year Warranty 120-PG-0750-GR NEW Haswell Ready Power Supply Intel 4th Gen CPU Ready

Pros: This is a pretty solid psu, i came from a Coolermast 460w, and this is so much more efficient. At first i kind of laughed at the handle, but its actually sturdy, I use it sometimes with my Air 540. The modular cables really cleaned up my build. Also a 10 year freaking warranty!

Cons: I think i got a bad sku or something, the fan is the loudest part of my rig, it is kind of annoying, and im kind of disappointing.

Great card

Pros: This card is a beast, I bought this card specifically for BF4. Been playing it at high settings 60 fps rarely any dips. Great overclocker, with the OC button pressed, i still can push it 1240/1550 w/o any voltage tweaks. Stays nice and cool, under 60C, and looks great in my case.

Cons: None.

Pros: Solid Closed loop, which was expected from Corsair. Very nice temps, 3570k 4.3 @ 1.2v idle 22c - load 38c.

Cons: After switching between motherboards apparently the Blue LED died. On boot it makes a grinding noise, both things not worth docking eggs

Great Ram
