Beautiful Monitor

ASUS VW224U Black 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor w/ HDCP Support 300 cd/m2 1000:1 (ASCR 5000:1) Built in Speakers
ASUS VW224U Black 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor w/ HDCP Support 300 cd/m2 1000:1 (ASCR 5000:1) Built in Speakers

Pros: Large size, bright and beautiful colors, and low price. Worked right out of the box. I was very happy to have no dead pixels!

Cons: Nothing really as of yet..just nitpicks. The buttons are a bit annoying to press. No height adjustment.

Overall Review: This is my first LCD Monitor after years of using CRT. I have to say I'm very pleased!

Exceptional SSD for Good Value

Crucial MX100 2.5" 512GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT512MX100SSD1
Crucial MX100 2.5" 512GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT512MX100SSD1

Pros: High transfer rate. I purchased this item while on sale a year ago. $200 was a great deal for 512 GB

Cons: Must use separate brackets to mount inside disk drive chassis

Overall Review: ery impressed with this SSD.I didn't understand the major bottleneck which occurs with HDD. This SSD alone decreased my total boot time from approximately 45 seconds down to 11 seconds (from POSTing to executing programs). Transferring multiple gigabytes between two SSDs is phenomenal. I use a Samsung EVO as well as the Crucial

Decent gaming mouse

RAZER Taipan Black 9 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Laser Mouse
RAZER Taipan Black 9 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Laser Mouse

Pros: Smooth delivery. Great accuracy. It's a good all-around gaming mouse.

Cons: This is a 7-button mouse, not 9. Only the "thumb buttons" are active at any time, and of course, it is dependent on the hand orientation that is selected.

Overall Review: Switching from the Deathadder to the Taipan required a couple of days of familiarization with the different feel, but it's not too bad.

Great card for the price

MSI Gaming N760 TF 2GD5/OC G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card
MSI Gaming N760 TF 2GD5/OC G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card

Pros: If you're on a budget, this card offers awesome value especially after factoring in the SLI capability. The quality of heat dissipation via the heatsink was quite surprising. Also, the fan was quieter than I had imagined. Though I haven't performed any extreme tests, the drivers and hardware seem to respond well with my moderate overclocking.

Cons: As with many high performance cards, it is large. Be sure to account for it!

Overall Review: I'm only running a single card, and I haven't noticed any major performance issues in games including those with PhysX.
