Pros: Very nice motherboard, love the colors and the layout of the motherboard.. 90% of the time most issues begin from the type of hardware your tryin to use. just because a product has 2000 reviews dont mean one with 20 reviews is gonna be bad.. hopefully my hardware specs will help someone in there build.

Cons: the new Bios gui was something that i do love but im use to the basic dos version but nothing im willing to knock an egg down for.

Overall Review: installation was easy, I really dont understand how anyone can bend pins while installing the cpu into the socket but..needless to say..easy peezy. sound quality i have not tryed because i ALWAYS use a dedicated sound card iv never used onboard since iv owned computers so i can not give any views on that. but..here is my part list i purchased and installed loaded up win 7 home prem x64bit within 5 to 10 mins i was staring at my desktop. CPU: core i7 4770k (stock settings) RAM: G.SKILL Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB) (ill get more if i need it) Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231416 CPU Cooler:Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Video Card: GTX 760 4gb Powersupply: CORSAIR CX series CX750 750W Case: NZXT Source 530 (AWSOME SEXY CASE) onlything i had to do was set my memory timings in the bios..save..an rebooted. started win 7 install and was good to go. i had already downloaded all the drivers an saved em to a jump drive..never touched the provided cd all parts bought from newegg rest of the parts i already had (harddrive video card, soundcard etc)

Pros: Fast machine works good. comes with 1stick of 8GB ram 500watt PSU Matx motherboard (asrock) stock cpu fan i upgraded the memory in this an got a different case didnt like the case much.. everything else was great.. put a bigger SSD drive in too.

Overall Review: i would recommend it if ur lookin for fast stable PC

Pros: I thought my ram was bad because it was crashing my games. i noticed the XMP profile on my motherboard was setting the voltage a little to high so i set it as the ram specs needed and BOOM stable no more crashing. so for you folks out there having XMP issues check your voltage as i did.

Cons: other then my motherboard over volting my ram in XMP profile works great.

Overall Review: I would buy this again.

Pros: got it..turned it on..activated windows 10 pro. nice n fast. going to upgrade the power supply and install a video card for the girl friend to play her games on it. 3rd gen core i5. 8gb ram speedy hard drive. great budget gaming/office computer by far.

Cons: no cons to mention.

Overall Review: would buy another if i had to do it all over again. everything looks brand new inside . very minor blemishes on the side of the case very quiet n quick computer.

Pros: Installed this on a gigabyte Z87 Sniper motherboard ..used the samsung migration software to move my hard drive OS to the SSD evo..landed on my desk top in 5 seconds. applications load super fast now..i love it.

Cons: didnt come with screws to mount it but no biggie had some laying around.

Overall Review: if you get a bad one just RMA it an get a replacement nothings perfect. gonna get a dud once n while. would buy again.

Pros: Hooked up an turned on an worked. very nice display. would buy another.

Cons: no cons.
