Best Horizontal Micro chassis

Pros: Magnetic sheets on side panels & bottom for keeping dust out,lots of 3.5 & side 2.5 mounts if you're gonna go raid,built in 200mm intake fan,all 4 panels come off for future upgrades/maintenance,this thing is Very customizable.Best $60 case.....so far.
Cons: Some flimsy pieces,not terrible but definitely breakable for those that ragequit.Would like to see aluminum hdd cage and 2.5 trays.
Overall Review: Always had a traditional vertical mobo tower.This was easy to set up and plenty of hand room to install and remove components.Lots of space for zip tying wiring for a sleek look.Was looking @ Fractal Design but glad I went with Thermaltake.
Never Use Stock Paste Again

Pros: Highly recommended.Lots of awards.
Cons: Spreader didn't do much.Easier to just wiggle heat sink base to spread paste.
Overall Review: Didn't use the stock AMD paste so it's hard to tell how much of a difference it made.It idles mid to high 20s, seems lower than other #s I've seen with other reviews.Also never used other brands on my previous assembles before,so no real experience to speak from.
Best Air cooled CPU for $$$

Pros: Great performance,great design,gud fan included,same if not better results than Noctua and $20+ cheaper.
Cons: Plastic fan tabs pivot/don't always lock proper when installing.
Overall Review: Redoing this review since I've had time to stress test my CPU.Idles @ high 20s and high 60s when I'm 4k gaming.Have to wait a week for the AM4 bracket to ship for Taiwan.Reeven really impressed me with this product,highly recommended.
The Best Case Fans.

Pros: The highest airflow with the lowest db noise.Rubber corners for no rattle operation.Great price for high performance non led case fan.Outperforms Noctua.
Cons: Didn't include a fan splitter???
Overall Review: Wanted to buy Nocturnal fans,did research and bought 2 of these Awesome products instead.Didn't read up on # of fan hookups on my mobo.Need a splitter or may just replace the 200mm stock front fan.
It's GSkill....Nuff said

Pros: Proven reliability and King of OC.Good heat sinks,didn't need the trident upgrade.....yet.
Cons: Some compatability issues with my Ryzen mobo,easily fixed with firmware/bios updates.
Overall Review: Easy choice,GSkill reks all.
Ludicrous Boot Speed

Pros: Price,speed,warranty,hardware,ease of installation,software features,best ssd for the $$$ for gaming.
Cons: Having to set aside 15-20% of drive so you don't prematurely brick your ssd.
Overall Review: First ssd on a pc assemble,was looking @ m.2s but saw little difference in load times and higher temps than 2.5 ssds.Other brands might cost less/perform less but if you want the best performance for the price Samsung is tops.
