Great mouse

Pros: Comfortable Changeable LED (not just the color, you can turn individual areas off or on) 8200 DPI easy to use software SQAT Did I mention it was comfortable played Crysis 3 for a few hours and it worked great if you get the Mionix Sargas mouse pad, it slides effortlessly although it sticks to the mat easy so when your looking down the scope trying to shoot someone its not all over the place when you try to make small adjustments to make sure you get them in the head.
Cons: I tried and there were only 2 i could think of which might only be a problem for me. 1 the side buttons on the mouse seem like you have to push them in about twice as far as the ones on my g500 which makes it a little harder for me to press them while putting my crosshairs on someones head. 2 the scroll wheel dose not do the infinite spin thing like the g500, but i only found like 3 that did that anyway these could be cons but its more then likely me just getting used to this new one
Overall Review: My Logitech g500 has having the same left click issues that everyone else seemed to have, but the fixes didn't work on mine, so i decided it was time to try a new mouse, despite loving my g500, i don't want to spend 50 on a mouse every year because of left click issues. so i looked around and based on the reviews and the style of this one i thought id give it a try, im normally a Logitech person, iv got a g19 which is got to be the greatest keyboard i have ever owned, but i was a little disappointed with the longevity of my g500. this mouse i have only had for a few days now, but i have yet to have any problems with it, if you are looking for a good gaming mouse this is it. one thing i did notice, im not listing it under cons because it was just a getting used to it thing, the left and right click buttons seem a little easy to push so for the first 30 minutes of using it you might accedently click on stuff but you will get used to it and that want happen anymore
Dissapointing service from lenvo.

Pros: The keyboard and build quality feel good (Will elaborate in the cons) , Touch screen was responsive for the 3 minutes it worked.
Cons: It worked for about 3 minutes before emiting the an unholy noise and a cloud of smoke, When contacting newegg they said to contact lenvo to ensure its defective, Apparently the smoke was not clear enough of an indicator that iwas defective, but whatever its brand new and should be a quick slap an RMA lable on it and send it in for a replacement like with any other faulty component? After contacting lenovo they said i have to wait 72 hours to here back from them, Have still not heard back from them yet.
Overall Review: I have liked lenovo products for years, and have never had such issues with their warranty, but it seems things must have changed.
So Much Encryption

Pros: I orderd this along with an MSI 399x Carbon board and this thing is freaking amazing, I am a systems administrator and i constantly have VMs up with about 40 million chrome tabs, compile code in the backround and this thing flys while doing it, The most resource intensive thing i do is encrypting backups using veracrypt which has a neat benchmark feature in it, My old CPU was an FX9590 and it was able to do AES at around 5.9GB/s But this beast will do it at 27GB/s and all without turning my room into a sauna like the 9590 did.
Cons: Not sure if this is a con for the CPU or the board however every board i have seen was built the same way, The design for the socket seems a little convaluted and requires a star key to open, The CPU comes with the star key but whatever happend to the simple little metal lever we have all come to know and love?
Overall Review: This CPU is fantastic, Even for gaming, However if your only purpose for this CPU is gaming its kind of a waste, The only game that even touches this cpu is Battlefield 1 for a few second while loading. When playing overwatch on 4k with the settings set at epic i remember laughing with the wife that overwatch was only using 3% of the cpu. If on the other hand you want to do 40 other things in the background while gaming, or maybe your a streamer that editing or encoding video on the background then why not, Do you really want to find a reason not to have 32 cores of awesome?
Great board, Lots of neat features.

Pros: I setup this board using a 1950x threadripper, and everything worked great out of the box, It has different little pieces to change the looks of the heatsinks and you can control the LEDs on the board and in your case from its integrated LED controlled. This board also has 3 m.2 slots which is great for doing a a raid 0 of 3 of them for insane performance.
Cons: This board is a large board and due to the beast nature of the CPU it requires 2 8 PIN cpu power connectors, While this is not a problem MSI did not include the 8PIN extender you will usually find with boards of this size, I am using a corsair HXi1200i PSU which comes with 2 however one is shorter than the other, I presume they ment for one or the other to be used, reguardess the shorter one did fit but was a very tight fit, If you have a larger case or a smaller PSU, I would recommend ensuring you have 2 8 PIN cables and that they are long enough, I used the Thermaltake 900 Tower as a case.
Overall Review: This is a great board and if you are doing a threadripper build this is what you want, This board also comes with a PCIE WIFI card however i did not use it as i used a 10GB ethernet PCIE card.
Fantastic Case

Pros: Size, this thing is huge and it is even bigger on the inside. Quality, this thing with an exception of 2 things is the highest quality case i have ever owned. Design, i have run into the issue before, where i buy a case, put a large radiator somewhere in it, and all the fan wholes don't line up quite right, well the designers at corsair decided to make the fan mounting holes on the top front and back those oval wholes so you can adjust the spacing so the radiators fit in there correctly, those guys need an award of some sort. Has 3 hot swap bays built into it which makes it a hell of allot easier for doing a raid 5 in this thing,on top of having space for 6 more addition hard drives. Cable management, in the back they gave you a ton of room to put all your cables, in addition there are these big plastic clips that lock down all the cables going from the bottom to the top inside the cable management area, which made getting the cables all cleanly run through the case much easier. The side panels are not held on with screws, they just have a button you push and it slides right off, which means no losing one of the screws every time you open the side to catch a dust bunny, on top of that, there are more panels on the bottom of the case where the hot swap bays are and the power supply, and you just pull a little lever and the side folds down so you can access the hot swap bays/dust filters without having to remove the big panels on the side of the case.
Cons: Not allot of cons here, but just 2 things that need to be addressed, the hard drives trays are some of the cheapest i have ever seen, you will often fine that the lever on the front of the tray that locks it in has come off and this is due to the fact that there is nothing holding the hing pin in on the bottom, it just slides in from the top and that's it. so every other time you take it out you will have to get the bottom of the lever back where its supposed to be or the tray wont lock in right, not a huge issue, but when you spend $350 on a computer case you would expect the quality to be up to par, the quality on the rest of the case is fantastic, im just not sure what happened to the trays, the other con, is that the magnetic dust filter on the left side of the case would not stay on in one corner, a little Velcro fixed the issue, im not sure if that is on the fault of the filter or the or the fault of the 18 130cfm fans i put in the case, just somthing to consider, however since the dust filter is near the hard drives and is held on magnetically, i can understand not wanting to put and overly strong magnet near the storage bays.
Overall Review: This is hands down the best case i have ever used, I personally went back and forth for days trying to find another case that would be as good as this one for a lesser price as i was having a hard time justifying the $350, However i couldn't find anything that compared, but having used it now, i would have no problem at all buying another one, being that with this you get what you pay for. The minor issue with the hard drive bays would not justify taking an egg away from this case, since as a whole, this case is just fantastic, and you shouldn't have to mess with the hard drives too much.
Great card, needs help cooling

Pros: this card is great for gaming, has great performance and should work fine in just about any gaming rig, i played Crysis 3 max graphics and it was smooth the whole time.
Cons: contrary to the previous review this cards cooling is not that great, it sat about 90c with an ambient temp of 19c while playing crysis 3 at max, which is ok, but while doing some of my own game design, using cry engine 3 , the gpus start to creep over 100c, i stopped it after that so im not sure how much further it would have gone. the cooling is the only reason i took off 1 egg, other then that it is a great card, i do intend to get an aftermarket water cooler for mine in the future, but if your looking to stay in the air cooled department, i would recommend dropping the few extra bucks and grabbing the hawk/lightning edition that have twin frozer cooler.
Overall Review: msi has always made great products and this is one of them, i would still recommend this card to anyone who needs one of gaming, but anything further into the 3d modeling ect i would say get the one with the better cooler.
