Gold gets Gold

SeaSonic X Series X650 Gold (SS-650KM Active PFC F3) 650W ATX12V V2.3/EPS 12V V2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Hasw
SeaSonic X Series X650 Gold (SS-650KM Active PFC F3) 650W ATX12V V2.3/EPS 12V V2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Hasw

Pros: Best PSU i have ever owned. Build quality is impeccable. Silent, fan does not normally even run. Voltages are rock solid stable.

Cons: Cables just barely reach when this PSU is mounted in the bottom of a mid tower case.

Overall Review: With more mid and full tower cases opting to put the PSU at the bottom it would be nice for PSU manufacturer's to lengthen the cables or at the very least include a longer one.

Black, Blue, and simply Gorgeous

NZXT Guardian 921RB 921RB-001-BL Blue LED SECC Steel / ABS Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
NZXT Guardian 921RB 921RB-001-BL Blue LED SECC Steel / ABS Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Very well built case, no sharp edges that didnt have rubber foamy things on them. Comes with 3 fans that are pretty quiet at full load and move a good amount of air. Bottom mounting for PSU plus fan filters for PSU front and side fan.

Cons: Rear fan not a led fan.

Overall Review: Wire management in this case is very easy to do and it just looks great. I might need to get some more lights in my case just so i can see my components better since the black interior kinda suck up the light and keep it from bouncing around like in the silver interior cases.

Best Mobo

GIGABYTE GA-890FXA-UD5 AM3 AMD 890FX USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-890FXA-UD5 AM3 AMD 890FX USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Ive been a DFI man since my legendary Lanparty NF3 250GB, but with DFI going out of the market i had to look else where for a board and i was super happy to end up with my UD5. I got the rev 2.1 board and it is just phenominal. Rock solid stable. Voltages dont budge. The looks are fantastic, tons of connectors, and the bios and layout are top notch.

Cons: none

Blue is awesome

ASUS GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card ENGTX460 DirectCU TOP/2DI/1GD5
ASUS GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card ENGTX460 DirectCU TOP/2DI/1GD5

Pros: Fast, factory OC makes this bad boy come very very close to equaling the GTX 470. Runs very cool with the awesome cooler. Quiet.

Cons: Squeals like my old 6800GT when pushing very high FPS (300+). Its not that big of a deal but i just wish my hearing wasnt so sensitive to those high pitched noises. Most people would have to have their ear next to the card to hear it.

Gotta go fast

AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition - Phenom II X4 Deneb Quad-Core 3.5 GHz Socket AM3 125W Desktop Processor - HDZ970FBGMBOX
AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition - Phenom II X4 Deneb Quad-Core 3.5 GHz Socket AM3 125W Desktop Processor - HDZ970FBGMBOX

Pros: FAST!!! Handles anything i throw at it. Mine had a low stock voltage of 1.33v and runs very cool. Just playing around with the unlocked multiplier got to 3.8ghz with stock volts across the board. Looks promising to hit 4ghz as temps are only 50c load with a Zalman CNPS10X Performa with stock fan.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Did i mention FAST enough stock it needs no OC.

AMD 1600mhz RAM

CORSAIR DOMINATOR 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMP4GX3M2B1600C8
CORSAIR DOMINATOR 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMP4GX3M2B1600C8

Pros: Runs 1600mhz stock on AM3 boards no problem. Runs cool and looks slick.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Depending on your AMD chips IMC you will likely need to bump the cpu-nb voltage up a notch to run 1600mhz stable. This is due to the fact that the AMD IMC is tuned to run 1333mhz at stock. A slight voltage bump to cpu-nb does not add any measurable heat with a good cooler.

I have NEVER had an order from newegg arrive late till this. I ordered on a Sunday and Newegg stated that it shipped Monday. I did not receive said item with 3-5 day shipping till the following Monday, which is 7 days. The bloody tracking number did not work till the following Sunday telling me it was in New Jersey and had not been shipped till the 9th. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. Newegg states shipped on the 7th that means it is on a truck headed my way, which it was not. I have been a loyal customer for years and the whole reason i have used newegg is that i get what i pay for and it shows up on time every time. I stopped using other online vendors because of this very issue and looks like i can add newegg to my list. Your company was fine till you branced out of electronics, now the last 3 things i have ordered have shown up late. Simply an UNACCEPTABLE way to do business.
