Most Favorable Review
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 760 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 ATX Graphics Card GV-N760OC-4GD REV2.0
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 760 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 ATX Graphics Card GV-N760OC-4GD REV2.0

Pros: The Gigabyte GV-N760OC 4GB 256-bit video card is amazing. It is very fast and very quiet. This video card is configured to a Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H MB in a Corsair 500-R Carbide Series ATX mid tower powered by a Corsair RM750 modular PSU, running Windows 8.1 64-bit. There is more than enough room in this case for this video card which is huge btw. The h/w and s/w driver installations were a breeze and I have not experienced any issues.

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: After researching the technical specs of various video cards I realized there are better performing video cards available that can be had at a higher price. I believe the GTX-760 4GB offers great performance and great value, and it serves my requirements easily.

Most Critical Review
EVGA DisplayPort Hub Model 200-DP-1301-L1
EVGA DisplayPort Hub Model 200-DP-1301-L1

Pros: Great concept.

Cons: I could not get this hub to work with 3 24" DisplayPort monitors (1920x1200) on my system that is using the Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H MB on board graphics adapter. EVGA support said it should work, but could not verify this for certain as it was formally tested. I returned the hub for a refund. Also there is no helpful user manual either supplied with the package or online in softcopy. I had to contact support to get my questions answered because the configuration schematic was not clear to me. A call to support did prove helpful.

Overall Review: I hope others find this review helpful.

Solid CPU/Integrated GPU

AMD Ryzen 7 8700G - Ryzen 7 8000-G Series 8-Core 4.2 GHz Socket AM5 65W AMD Radeon 780M Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100001236BOX
AMD Ryzen 7 8700G - Ryzen 7 8000-G Series 8-Core 4.2 GHz Socket AM5 65W AMD Radeon 780M Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100001236BOX

Pros: . This CPU is primarily for productivity work (MS Office, email, web browsing) only, with no gaming. . I was looking for good CPU/integrated GPU performance without a discreet GPU in a small form factor build. . The 8700G at 65W is a good match for my needs while keeping thermals in check with a good air cooler.

Cons: . No negatives to report.

Overall Review: . I am very satisfied with the 8700G and highly recommend it.

Pros: . I was looking for a reliable high performance 1TB SSD for my small form factor build. This SSD did not disappoint. . Impressive PCIe 4.0 read and write speeds. . The heatsink helps maintain optimal temperatures reducing the risk of thermal throttling. . Nice visual appeal. . Limited 5 year warranty.

Cons: . No negatives to report.

Overall Review: . I highly recommend this SSD.

Noctua - A top notch air cooling solution!

Easy to install with the included SecuFirm2 mounting system. . Height is 37mm allowing for excellent RAM and PCIe compatibility. . 92mm fan size which can be upgraded to a thicker fan for enhanced cooling efficiency. . Solid build quality. . Thermal paste and tool was included. . 6 year warranty

Cons: . No negatives to report.

Great 32GB DDR5 SODIMM RAM

Crucial 32GB (2 x 16GB) 262-Pin DDR5 SO-DIMM DDR5 5600 Laptop Memory Model CT2K16G56C46S5
Crucial 32GB (2 x 16GB) 262-Pin DDR5 SO-DIMM DDR5 5600 Laptop Memory Model CT2K16G56C46S5

Pros: Reliable. Simple black aesthetic with the exception of the blue Crucial. Low profile. Lifetime warranty. Higher throughput than DDR4.

Cons: CAS latency is 46 which seems high but more common for DDR5 and from reports is offset by the much higher transfer speeds.. These sticks are rated at 5600MT/s, but will downclock in slower systems. I was able to overclock the RAM in the BIOS to 6000MT/s with no problems.

Overall Review: This RAM is a solid choice for my needs. I do not game so this RAM is perfect for my daily workload requirements. With the lifetime warranty and Crucial's compatibility checker, it is difficult to go wrong.
