Excellent Cooler

be quiet! Shadow Rock 3 CPU Air Cooler | 190W TDP | LGA 1700 1200 2066 1150 1151 1155 2011(-3) Square ILM Compatible | Intel and AMD 4/5 Support | Low Noise Cooler | White | BK005

Pros: - Works extremely well- Asymmetrical design will work with basically any RAM modules I can imagine.- Comes with a super long screwdriver so you don't need any tools- Looks awesome- Fans are easy to put on

Cons: - The instructions are a bit confusing. I had to look up a video of installation. Didn't realize that the bracket goes on the back of the motherboard (hey, I haven't built a PC since the days of Intel coolers that you just push into the mobo)

Overall Review: Does everything you expect it to do. Works very well. I've had no cooling issues. Recommended to anyone.

Most Critical Review

Not worth the price tag

EDIMAX EW-7318UG 802.11g Wireless LAN Mini USB Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g USB 2.0 Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates
EDIMAX EW-7318UG 802.11g Wireless LAN Mini USB Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g USB 2.0 Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: It's inexpensive.

Cons: Terrible construction. It's made of the cheapest plastic I've ever seen and I suspect the two sides are bonded together with something similar to Elmer's glue. It has an awkward shape that may block other USB ports. I consider myself a fairly knowledgeable computer user, but even someone with a master's in computer science will have trouble interpreting the software. Everything is labled with acronyms. Somehow I got Windows to find my network and it started working. I seriously don't know what the point of its Config Utility is. The software runs in the taskbar, and you can switch to another mode in it. All this other mode does is prevent the device from working (from what I can tell.)

Overall Review: I know wireless is poor for online gaming, but I have no other option in my current house. This thing lags me approximately once per minute on Steam games. AVOID this item and spring for a PCI card.

Very happy with this 3070

Pros: - Getting great FPS in my i9-10850k - You can set it to be very quiet which is important, as I use my computer for music production and audio engineering - Thermals are quite good

Cons: - Super ugly. I personally don't care for the aesthetics but the Newegg Shuffle decided that this was the video card for me.

Overall Review: If you can get this card, don't hesitate.

Best value for a high quality, high wattage PSU

Super Flower Leadex III 850W 80+ Gold, Three-Way ECO Mode Fanless, Silent & Cooling Mode, FDB Fan, Full Modular Power Supply, Dual Over Power Protection, SF-850F14HG
Super Flower Leadex III 850W 80+ Gold, Three-Way ECO Mode Fanless, Silent & Cooling Mode, FDB Fan, Full Modular Power Supply, Dual Over Power Protection, SF-850F14HG

Pros: - the price! I don't know where else you can find an 80+ gold, 850w at this price unless you get lucky with a sale - the cables have nice coverings on them, and are pretty stiff but you can bend them if necessary to twist around into sockets - Quiet. I don't hear this part of my rig much at all. I don't think the fan has even kicked on yet.

Cons: - Barely a con, but at first I wanted a PSU with RGB. But turns out my case (Pure Base 500DX) has a PSU shroud so it wouldn't have been visible anyways.

Overall Review: It's an excellent power supply. I would recommend it to anyone.

These are almost all limited free trials

Intel Gift - Software Bonus Bundle, Redemption Expires: 03/31/2021

Pros: - You get one of the photo editors for free, which I guess is cool

Cons: - Literally everything else is for a 3 or 6 month free trial. I felt like I wasted an hour going through the redemption process and investigating all of the software offerings.

Overall Review: You shouldn't be buying something if this included promo is the difference maker, but just know that it's pretty worthless.

Incredible Case

be quiet! Pure Base 500DX ATX Mid Tower PC case | ARGB | 3 Pre-Installed Pure Wings 2 Fans | Tempered Glass Window | White
be quiet! Pure Base 500DX ATX Mid Tower PC case | ARGB | 3 Pre-Installed Pure Wings 2 Fans | Tempered Glass Window | White

Pros: - Compared to my old case (RAIDMAX Smilodon) this thing is basically inaudible. I do audio production in addition to gaming, so having so much less fan noise is great. - But the airflow is still there. Even when overclocking my GPU, I don't run into any danger zones with temps. - There are plenty of cable routing options in the back. - The SSD

Cons: - I've already had to clean the glass twice just from touching it when adjusting its position, but that's the nature of quality glass panels. - Connecting to the CPU power header was difficult because the two top corner fans were in the way, so maybe plug that one in before you screw the mobo down. But I managed to get it with the assistance of a screwdriver. - I had to bend the heck out of the main motherboard power cable to get it in the socket, but it seems to be working fine.

Overall Review: The white looks amazing. This is just an incredibly well designed and executed case. Really quiet. Pretty easy to build in. Great temps. I would recommend this to anyone.
