Love it

SAMSUNG SSD 990 PRO 4TB, PCIe Gen4 M.2 2280, Seq. Read Speeds Up-to 7,450MB/s for High End Computing, Gaming, and Heavy Duty Workstations (MZ-V9P4T0B/AM) Non-Heatsink
SAMSUNG SSD 990 PRO 4TB, PCIe Gen4 M.2 2280, Seq. Read Speeds Up-to 7,450MB/s for High End Computing, Gaming, and Heavy Duty Workstations (MZ-V9P4T0B/AM) Non-Heatsink

Pros: nice and fast, not too bad a price

Cons: No cons so far

Overall Review: I really like Samsung pro drives they seem to work and last

Best bang for the buck at the time I bought this

XFX SPEEDSTER MERC319 AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT LIMITED BLACK Gaming Graphics Card with 16GB GDDR6, AMD RDNA 2, RX-69XTACSD9
XFX SPEEDSTER MERC319 AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT LIMITED BLACK Gaming Graphics Card with 16GB GDDR6, AMD RDNA 2, RX-69XTACSD9

Pros: really good performance, plenty of VRam,

Cons: If you want to do AI the NVIdia supports using cuda cores, using AMD is much more difficult and most AI systems don't support AMD GPUs

Overall Review: I really love this card but not supporting AI as well as NVidia puts a damper on suggesting it,

Not a bad case has the room needed for lots of fans

CORSAIR iCUE 5000X RGB Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX PC Smart Case, White, CC-9011213-WW

Pros: holds plenty of fans, if you want the ICUe RGB eco system this will fit

Cons: the air flow is limited, I ended up buying the high air flow covers to replace the ones that come with it, I was unable to install 2 radiators because the fluid I/O tubes would interfere with each other, or the mother board.

Overall Review: I think I would probably buy this one again, but it is a break even for me in that I should have got the High air flow panels originally.

Really good MB

ASRock X670E PG Lightning AM5 ATX Motherboard. 4xDDR5 slots, PCIE 5.0X16, AMD Cross Fire, Quad M.2 slots, 2.5GB LAN, 7.1 HD audio, HDMI, DP 1.4 ports, USB3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C, 8 Layer PCB.

Pros: This MB has almost everything I want, 4 NVME slots, SATA slots, over-clockable, really a nice pick all together

Cons: I think the only weaknesses are that the PCIe slot isn't able to Bifurcate, and there is only 1 PCIe gen 5 x16 slot, so once you have a graphics card installed you can't get gen 5 on any thing else.

Overall Review: I am really happy with this MB

easy setup, and works supporting raid

BUFFALO TeraStation Essentials TS3420D3204S 4-Bay NAS 32TB (4x8TB) with Hard Drives Included Desktop Network Attached Storage

Pros: easy setup, supports raid, dual NIC

Cons: if you have it on 2 different networks it can get confused as to how to connect to them both, has too much bloat ware,

Overall Review: I am really happy with this NAS,

Not bad

2.5Gbase-T Pcie Network Card Intel Chip I226-V 2.5G PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Card Wired RJ45 LAN Adapter Converter for WINDOW 10 /11
2.5Gbase-T Pcie Network Card Intel Chip I226-V 2.5G PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Card Wired RJ45 LAN Adapter Converter for WINDOW 10 /11

Pros: works as needed, and uses standard drivers

Cons: the instructions don't have English, but you can read enough to figure out you need to download the Intel drivers.

Overall Review: I am over all happy but if you don't have a way to download the drivers it comes with a mini-CD, but I don't have a CD rom reader.
