Most Favorable Review

Great, no problems with high-end games, although minecraft doesn't seem to like it (as always)

EVGA GeForce GTX 960 02G-P4-2966-KR 2GB SSC GAMING w/ACX 2.0+, Whisper Silent Cooling Graphics Card
EVGA GeForce GTX 960 02G-P4-2966-KR 2GB SSC GAMING w/ACX 2.0+, Whisper Silent Cooling Graphics Card

Pros: I can run AAA games from 2014 at high quality graphics level with little slow down, and 1080 60fps video with no glitching.

Cons: Minecraft, but it always has trouble when trying to run HD textures and realistic shaders. Maybe I just need to change the settings.

Overall Review: I don't know how this graphics card compares with others on the market now, but I've been using it for over a year, around 8 hours a day, and it still works flawlessly.

Plug and play works immediately, no problems

Pros: Worked as soon as I plugged it in. No problems configuring it.

Cons: The cord is a little short, so it hangs from the air as it connects to my MIDI device, so it's always at risk of being tripped on.

So nice to use, and works with drives with no problems

Vantec 2.5" / 3.5" / 5.25" SATA / IDE to USB 2.0 Adapter - Model CB-ISATAU2

Pros: Has nice speed and connection with drives, and I've tried over 6 with it. Works with SATA, both IDE types, and has little to no problems working through USB.

Cons: The speed might be a little slow at times, but it never was that much of an issue. I only used it to recover files from old drives though.

I didn't know i3s could be this good

Pros: Very powerful, never was stressed out under normal conditions, and I've been using it for over a year. Very good value for its price.

Cons: None.

Very nice startup operating system, can boot from USB.

GIGABYTE GA-H81M-DS2V (rev. 1.0) LGA 1150 Intel H81 USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Can boot from USB thumb drives, has USB 3.0, can hold an i5 processor, and 6 SATA drives. I've been able to run both Ubuntu and Windows 7 64 bit from two separate drives, and am able to select from between them at startup.

Cons: The SATA drives are a little hard to configure sometimes, and having only 6 USB slots has left 1 or 2 devices out at one time, but barely a complaint.

Overall Review: I would probably buy this motherboard again for my next computer, unless there is a better one that can run an i7 or better processor.

They work, nothing is wrong

Pros: They give my computer 8GB of memory to use, and nothing bad has happened with them.

Cons: I don't know how to judge quality of RAM sticks, so as far as I know there are no cons.
