Excellent Card!

EVGA 012-P3-1472-AR GeForce GTX 470 (Fermi) SuperClocked 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
EVGA 012-P3-1472-AR GeForce GTX 470 (Fermi) SuperClocked 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: Very pleased with the performance of the card. I have been playing anything from BFBC2, Just Cause 2, Crysis and others at 1680x1050 at max settings and no slowdowns at all.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I was concern about my Corsair 550W but it seems to be handling it just fine. I am using a Koolance full cover water block with the video card, the rest of my system is also WC My system is: i5 750 @ 3.8GHz GTX 470 SC Asus P7P55D 4GB DD3 Ram

Cursor Problems

Mad Catz MCB4370500B2/04/1 Black 5 Programmable Buttons and 2 regular left and right mouse buttons Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Laser 4000 dpi R.A.T. 5 Gaming Mouse
Mad Catz MCB4370500B2/04/1 Black 5 Programmable Buttons and 2 regular left and right mouse buttons Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Laser 4000 dpi R.A.T. 5 Gaming Mouse

Pros: Looks cool. Good profile app. Great DPI

Cons: Since the day i got it, i had problems with the cursor jumping all over the place. After some research it turns that the sensor has some problems. I kept the mouse waiting for maybe a firmware/driver fix but latest driver does not take care of the problem.

Overall Review: Contacted Saitek, told them my problem, they tried to "fix" it, but there is no fix, so i am sending it back. Bought the new Mamba mouse.

Really good sound card

ASUS Xonar DX 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Express x1 Interface Sound Card
ASUS Xonar DX 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Express x1 Interface Sound Card

Pros: Wow what a difference from onboard audio. Also big jump from Audigy 2 zs Pro.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Took a little while to get it set-up properly. Make sure the Xonar DX GUI matches the Windows speakers setup. If use the front panel audio, need to select that option on the xonar GUI. Get it is worth it!

Not so bad...

Pros: Plenty of profile options to program with your games. 4000 DPI real useful. the "sniper" option comes in handy on FPS, it helps you in addition when you hold "shift" to hold you breath.

Cons: It seems to have problems with black mouse pads or any black surface.

Overall Review: I came from a Razer Copperhead, took me a little while to get use to this mouse. I almost return it but decided to give it a try for a little longer. Now that i am use to it i have no problems at all.

Awsome motherboard

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX All Solid Capacitor Intel Motherboard

Pros: Very happy with the motherboard, is very affortable and i have read reviews that it is as liable as 200+ motherboards. If you change a setting and get a POST, it restarts it self and goes to the previous setting. no need to reset BIOS with a jumper.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I have this motherboard with E6750 @ 3.2GHz + 2GB + 8800GTS (G92). If you want to access memory options you need to press "ctrl+F1" while on the BIOS main menu.

Very good Disk

Pros: Fast, low price, easy to install.

Cons: You pay for 250GB and you get 231GB, cause WD use decimal mb and windows use binary.

Overall Review: sucks that gettting full 250GB
