CORSAIR Vengeance RGB DRAM 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model CMR16GX4M2D3200C16

Pros: EDIT: Ram now works perfect at 3200 on my Ryzen build!!! -Worked like a charm on my Ryzen 1700x build. -Works with the Gigabyte AX370 K3 Gaming -Clocks well. I set mine to 3000 off the bat before installing Windows and not a single issue. Ran a stress test as well. Will be pushing them to 3200 soon. These are very stable. I was a bit worried at first as there were no reviews or mentions of these modules anywhere as they are Newegg exclusive memory.

Cons: -A tad tall, was unable to mount my AIO to the top of the case due to clearance issue from these but that's to be expected with memory like this.

Overall Review: Just good memory. Works in Ryzen system as well as Intel no issues.

What were they thinking.

PNY GeForce GTS 250 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card VCGGTS2505XPB

Pros: Look at cons

Cons: Im sure everyone would agree with me when I say, what in the world was PNY on, thinking... HEY! lets blow the hot air INTO the case instead of out... because a hotter cpu results in a better performing overall computer... LOL seriously now whats up with that heatsink fan

Two of these in SLi!

EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 FTW GAMING ACX 3.0, 08G-P4-6276-KR, 8GB GDDR5, RGB LED, 10CM FAN, 10 Power Phases, Double BIOS, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC)

Pros: -Powerful overclockers -One of the better reference coolers out there -EVGA Precision X tool works without issues -Plays any game I throw at it full settings at 1440p -Work great in SLi

Cons: -Nothing really but if I were to nitpick, RGB Led's are quite inconsistent. A lot of hot spots at random. I have two of them and they aren't even consistent to one another.

Overall Review: I purchased two for an SLi setup. These are giving some great numbers. At 1440p 144hz, with all settings maxed out in each game: PUBG - avg 92fps, Destiny 2 - avg 130fps, Witcher 3 - avg 132fps, GTAV - avg 140fps. They also overclock very well, I have mine set to a more conservative +109 core and +560 Memory. I've gotten them up to +195 core and +690 memory stable but a tad too much heat for my liking. Anyway highly recommended.

Fast as a bat out of hell

Pros: -Windows logo doesn't even have a chance to show up , boot up times are insane. -Easy installation, Not much more I can say.

Cons: None

Overall a great product

Pros: -Beautiful design. -Cools very well, OC'd while running Aida 64 stress test max CPU temp was 46c which is not real world as you won't be ever really running your CPU that hard. -One of the best looking CPU blocks. -AM4 Bracket included!

Cons: -Annoying amount of wires/connectors, but I suppose this can't be avoided with all the features this has?

Overall Review: Make sure to download the TT software so you can customize the LED's to your liking.

Everything as expected

Pros: -Placed order and had a key emailed to me within an hour. -Just worked, what more can I say its Windows 10 Home.

Cons: -None.

Overall Review: -Easy to install, just download the creation tool from Microsoft's website, plug your USB in and hit create! Vwalla you now have a windows 10 home bootable USB drive to install with.
