I7 Buy
Pros: It worked/Fast
Cons: Newegg shipping and returns/service
Overall Review: Here we go. I've been a customer since 2007 and have recommend Newegg to 1000's of ppl over the years after this buy i don't believe i can continue doing that. i ordered this i7 for a build along with a gpu EVGA 950 and psu corsair CX430m i got the psu and gpu no processor the part that was the most expensive and needed i called newegg support filed a claim which takes 3-5 days to process aka decide if im lying about missing part or not then they said they expedite the shipping which they didn't. about 8-9 days later got the processor. what really bugs me is i could have bought this on AMZN with my prime membership got it in 2 days guaranteed and if not they could have one day replaced it. Newegg needs to step there game up! + the benifits of there premier accounts laugh kind of a joke free 3 day which is more like 4 majority of the time. i think from now on newegg will be my under 200$ shopping and AMZN for important stuff cpus/gpus and some mobos. even tho there a little more $$. I still like newegg but this was a big blow for me. and I'm no noob with one bad experience i've done my fair share of Newegg RMA's and DOA returns working in the IT field which it happens but man step it up.
CORSAIR CX series CX430M 430W
Pros: Worked Right away powers my system even with ocd ram cpu and gpu. cilent and good for cable management. I've been having luck with these psu's and will continue buying them i have got this one. Two of the plain cx430's and the cx500 all work great.
Cons: None on 4 of them out of 4

EVGA GeForce GTX 950 02G
Pros: Great card although i recently went to a EVGA FTW 960 2GB. this 950 was able to clock to the 950 FTW speeds and i got for 139.99$ ran all my games on very high/ ultra with playable settings if its around 140.00 and you can justifiy going the extra 30-80 for a 2gb or 4gb 960 get it. At 1080p and below its a great card and holds its own
Cons: none. Great card
