XFX GTX 260

XFX GeForce GTX 260 896MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card GX260XADJC
XFX GeForce GTX 260 896MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card GX260XADJC

Pros: Very high fps in older games and makes all the precision of aiming and moving the mouse with fast response time with the 448 bit rate ive only owned a 256 bit rate card this one is sure to be a killer in the older games online and the newer ones this will be very smooth with fps high and accuracy on point. this card does requier a 600 watt psu with the 2 power cords going in to the psu for enhanced pci-e card like the XFX GTX 260 any card with more then 256 bit rate should have 2 separate power cords going in to the psu or you will kill the performance of your card and burns it out fast.

Cons: No Image sharpening, card over heats to 110 degrees but still performs well. This is a good card high prices because the new GTX 300's are comming out soon if not out already.

Overall Review: Best video card I ever owned I've owned alot of cards. TNT2 M64 AGP, G2 MX 400, G3 Ti 200 - 500, G4 MX 400, 440, Ti 4200, 4400, 4600, 4800, FX 5200, 5600, 5700 Ultra, 5900, G6800 Ultra AGP, G7600 512 AGP, G7900 GS G7900 AGP, G7950 GT PCI-e, G8600 GT, G9600 GSO 1.5 GB, Now GTX 260. Thiscard is by far the best one ever.

Batman AA

NVIDIA Gift - Batman: Arkham Asylum
NVIDIA Gift - Batman: Arkham Asylum

Pros: Looks pretty good graphics wise I havent downloaded the game but the picture looks pretty good I havent played a new game since world at war.

Cons: They do not give you a boxed video game they give you a piece of paper with a serial number on it for the game code and you have to download it that the only bad part about this free gift.

Overall Review: I cant wait to play it and see what video game they give to you next for buying a video card.

XFX 790I Ultra

XFX MBN790IUL9 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 790i Ultra SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
XFX MBN790IUL9 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 790i Ultra SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Pretty nice board nice price rebate too life time warrenty lot of features I havent tried to over clock it yet I dont want to make my cpu act up by burning it in. I have switched to XFX from Asus for the time being because of there warrenty plan. I hope they come out with a new motherboard soon a Nforce 8 when the GTX 300 come out. XFX is by far the winner for price and service. Asus is over priced and had limited warrenty plans.

Cons: I think the Asus striker 2 extreme is better it is just fasted in processing programs. I'm sure this motherboard is just as good in games if not better.

Overall Review: Wish they had a sound card onboard sound is kind of low I like it very loud.

Asus Striker II Extreme

ASUS Striker II Extreme LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 790i Ultra SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS Striker II Extreme LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 790i Ultra SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: This is the best motherboard out there value and overclocking for the next year or so this is the best board out there. I have played on alot of motherboards and this is by far the best one ive ever seen and owned.

Cons: Mine was DOA but newegg was fast and understanding and issued a RMA right away. They send the boards back to ASUS I would assume.

Overall Review: I have bought this motherboard before for a client and they loved it as much as I did so I bought another one. I wish there was a rebate still.

Arctic 5

Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G
Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G

Pros: Artic 5 is the highest thermal paste out there for low temps under 15 degrees more then other thermal pastes. I would recommend buying this cpu thermal paste if you are new to computers and want long life out of your cpu of gpu and it makes all your programs run faster due to less heat.

Cons: From the looks of it, it looks like motor oil.

Overall Review: Im sure its top notch since its Artic 5 I havent used it yet im waiting to get a new cpu to apply it to.

PCI-E power cable

1ST PC CORP. CB-PCI-X 9.1 in. Cable Adapter Male to Female
1ST PC CORP. CB-PCI-X 9.1 in. Cable Adapter Male to Female

Pros: It is a good spare cable to have around on hand. Works well and in retail bag.

Cons: None that I can think of this power cable is good but the price is high but thats ok. It could be made out of bungee cord material instead. Other then that its worth it for a psu with out the pci-e power connector.

Overall Review: I would but a better PSU from ENERMAX they are the best PSU's 700 watts and up.
