E5300 simply great

Pros: Overclocks to 3.6Ghz with almost no effort. Load temp when running benchmark is 60c, idle is 30c with a XIGMATEK HDT-S963 cpu cooler. Good gaming CPU unless you are playing a game that takes advantage of quad cores.
Cons: No cons to speak of when you have a $70 cpu performing at the same level as a $170 cpu when overclocked...
Overall Review: Can get 3.8ghz but temps go to around 70c and vcore has to be raised, after 3.8Ghz you have to increase the vcore quite a bit so there are diminishing returns in my opinion after 3.8Ghz.

Pros: No dead pixels. Very good monitor for gaming. Works very well in game where there is plenty of light.
Cons: If it's dark in a game though the top 10% of the monitor has a shadow effect, kind of annoying but I'll get over it.
very quiet

Pros: Nearly silent, decent enough air flow for my purposes.
Cons: None yet

Pros: Ram can do 5-5-5-15 @ 1120mhz @ 2.3v, can squeeze better timings out at 800MHz 4-4-4-12 at 2.25v or so. Maybe better I havn't played with it alot. Q9550 Abit IP-35 Pro
Cons: None that I can think of.
Overall Review: Cheap and works as intended.
