Most Critical Review

slow

OCZ Vertex Plus R2 2.5" 120GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) VTXPLR2-25SAT2-120GB

Pros: Was cheap and on sale

Cons: slow, slower than the 360gig hdd it replaced that died

Overall Review: Had I done a bit more research,i'd have bought something a bit faster. But was replacing a drive that died, and time was not on my side.

Fantastic Value

Sapphire Radeon PULSE RX 590 8GB GDDR5 PCI-E Dual HDMI / DVI-D / Dual DP w/ Backplate
Sapphire Radeon PULSE RX 590 8GB GDDR5 PCI-E Dual HDMI / DVI-D / Dual DP w/ Backplate

Pros: Price Silent (even while gaming) Came with code for BL3 Size (is actually smaller than my older card, yet way better)

Cons: Had heck of a time to get the screw into the case to secure the video card to take strain off the port, like the little metal bracket was just a little bit too small maybe..

Overall Review: This thing is quite heavy for its compact size, probably due to the metal backplate. This card was a huge upgrade for me so of course it performs better in every way for me, but that's how upgrades should go unless your one of those people who upgrades every time something new comes out. Course this isn't the newest card around, but a very very good value for the money. I did a lot of comparison shopping/reviews of cards for my price range (under 200, was shooting for 150 and hit between those with this card). Getting Border Lands 3 with it was a awesome bonus.

Great Card

EVGA GeForce GTX 960 02G-P4-2963-KR 2GB GAMING, Whisper Silent Cooling Gaming Graphics Card
EVGA GeForce GTX 960 02G-P4-2963-KR 2GB GAMING, Whisper Silent Cooling Gaming Graphics Card

Pros: silent....yes really really really quiet

Cons: was a little more expensive than would have liked, but was just cheap enough to afford as new cards just came out and the price dropped.

Overall Review: Took me a few minutes to figure out why my system wouldn't boot and I kept getting video card error. The card came with a power cord adapter and wanted me to use that while connecting two power lines to it. I had one dedicated off my psu that fit the video card, guess it wasn't enough juice on its own.

Great Processor

OEM Intel Core i3 i3-6100 Dual-core 3.70 GHz Processor LGA 1151
OEM Intel Core i3 i3-6100 Dual-core 3.70 GHz Processor LGA 1151

Pros: Cheap New Fast

Cons: Only dual core (but that doesn't seem to hold this little guy back from putting up big numbers)

Overall Review: I put this cpu into a new pc I build for my 5 year old to play plants vs zombies garden warefare(and now he wants the sequel) as part of a budget pc three hundred buck build and super silent (noctura fans) and it funs flawless. Loads windows in less than a minute. So then my 10 year old wanted a new pc cuz little brothers was faster than his. So he got nearly the same built, but he bought it all himself, and put a nicer video card in it. LOL (gtx960 vs gtx750ti). And my oldest is running both games, and sword coast legends and several others with no issue, the old amd 5200 dual core just couldn't keep up, even with the gtx960

Ram with a STICKER on it

G.SKILL Aegis 8GB 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Desktop Memory Model F4-2400C15S-8GIS
G.SKILL Aegis 8GB 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Desktop Memory Model F4-2400C15S-8GIS

Pros: It's ram It's cheap (but not THAT cheap)

Cons: I has a sticker on it. Which makes you think it has a heat sink. But if you read the description carefully it does NOT mention a heat sink.

Overall Review: In my opinion this is the manufacturer being deceptive. Its not like there is a search filter for ram with heat sink or not. You only know if you really really pay attention to the description of the item (which of course newegg doesn't take responsibility for the accuracy of) or looking at the picture, and if you zoom in on the ram you can tell its a sticker. But most manufacturers leave the ram bare when there is no heat sink, so you can clearly see it.
