XFX GeForce 8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card PVT88PYDQ4
XFX GeForce 8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card PVT88PYDQ4

Pros: This is an amazing card. I can get around 100fps in Call of Duty 4 at 1024x768 with all the settings maxed. I havent noticed my PC being any louder (except at startup when the fan turns on at 100% for a few secounds). I was using it on a 450watt PSU that came with my case but I have upgraded to a 600watt. Single slot cooler is great. Company of Heros is a great game (I averaged 113fps with settings maxed and my maximum fps was 330!!!).

Cons: Card is a big, but isnt a problem for me. Other then that nothing at all!!

Overall Review: If you are looking to find a cheap video card that can max just about every game out their now get this one. I plan on going SLI in a year or so when the price drops!

Most Critical Review

Worked well....

Western Digital Blue WD3200AAKS 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Western Digital Blue WD3200AAKS 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Worked well when it worked....

Cons: Have only had this drive for about 6 months and it has started to make VERY loud clicking noises while in use. PC blue screens now and sometimes the drive just shuts off while the PC is on (its my boot drive so you can guess what happened...). When it does work,it runs OK but programs run slow and freezes are common.

Overall Review: I have given up on Western Digital as a brand. I will not but another one of their drives again. This will be the 2nd drive that I will have to RMA within 6 months from Western Digital. All in all, it was nice when it worked, but WD has lost a customer.

Pros: Fast, good price, enough space to hold your OS and a few games, looks nice

Cons: Died in about 6 months. PNY's tech support isn't open on the weekends.

PNY VCGGTX660TXPB G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB 192-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: Great card for a good price. Runs Battlefield 3 at max at 1080p without a problem, don't really notice the extra noise or heat in my case, lifetime warranty. PNY has pretty good tech support.

Cons: Uses 2 slots, only 1 fan.

Great Case

Corsair Carbide Series 400R Graphite Grey and Black ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case
Corsair Carbide Series 400R Graphite Grey and Black ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case

Pros: -Light yet sturdy -Tons of bells and whistles -Looks great -Good price -USB 3.0 front panel

Cons: Came with a dent in one of the side panels, the box looked fine so it must have come from the factory like that. When I unscrewed a screw some paint came with it.

Overall Review: Great case with lots of room to do whatever you want!

Great Keyboard!

Logitech G15 2-Tone 104 Normal Keys USB Wired Standard Gaming Keyboard
Logitech G15 2-Tone 104 Normal Keys USB Wired Standard Gaming Keyboard

Pros: This keyboard is the best one I have ever had! The screen is very handy for seeing what song I am listening to, checking other applications and so much more. Keyboard is well built and feels solid. Wrist rest is comfortable, as well as the rest of the keyboard, to use. Back light makes it easier to see at night and looks cool (matched my case color). Lots of 3rd party apps for the screen (uTorrent etc). Got a free t-shirt with it!

Cons: Keyboard is fairly big, but this wasnt a problem for me. The applications running on the screen are running in the background in Windows, and if you want to use the G buttons the application needs to be running. Media display keeps Windows Media player running in the background even if you close it (so if you are playing a movie, media player closes but it keeps the movie open and if you reopen media player it still has the video cached, using alot of memory). My flash drive wont plug in to the USB ports because they are to bulky.

Overall Review: This is a great keyboard for gaming or general PC use. It only took a little getting used to when switching from a Wolfking full keyboard with the gaming pad on the side and no number pad. Would recommend Logitech and this keyboard to anyone!
