Perfection at a low cost

MSI Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card R4850-512M OC
MSI Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card R4850-512M OC

Pros: This thing runs Oblivion with every setting and AA at 8X buttery smooth. MS Flight Sim X runs just as good. If you are building a budget PC than this is your card!!!!

Cons: Zero, Zip, Zilch, Nada.

Overall Review: Buy this card, then send Newegg your first born as thanks. Its worth it!!!

Great Gaming

Logitech G400 Black 8 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical Gaming Mouse

Pros: Feels great in the hand, very responsive, weight is pretty good. The software (which you download from the Logitech website) is very well done. Adjusting the DPI while sniping or flying in BF3 is phenominal. Do yourself a solid and buy this mouse. You can spend way more money on a fancier mouse, but this one does fantastic.

Cons: Can't adjust the weight more to your liking

Overall Review: To the people that said the mouse was uncomfortable due to it being made for a ring finger to use the right click.....man up. I am 5'5" and have a smaller hand; this mouse isn't uncomfortable at all. Take a Midol and get back to gaming.

Good to Go

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 32-bit for System Builders
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 32-bit for System Builders

Pros: I finally made the transition from XP to Vista and I must say, so far so good. They have added a lot of nice eye candy and made the OS simpler to use. I love it and am glad that I made the switch.

Cons: Not really a con, but this is so much different than XP that I am Googling a lot of "how to" info for Vista, but I still love it to pieces!!

Overall Review: If you have been worried about making the switch....just do it. You wont be disappointed, just make sure you have 4 or more gigs of ram and at least a dual core cpu and you are good to go!!

Sweetness

Pros: This thing is great with games such as MS Flgiht Sim X. I have never been installing a program, downloading another program, and writing a review all at the same time before.

Cons: It doesnt actually, physically drive me to work every morning or make me coffee when I wake up.

Overall Review: I have kept it at stock speeds with the stock cooling fan and it is a dreamy processor.

Awesomeness in a Box

Pros: This mobo is sweet. You cant beat the bang that you get for this buck. The onboard gpu is fairly decent, but I paired it up with an MSI ATI Radeon HD4850 for extra umph. The bios is full of great features. A must have for a budget build. Newegg had this delivered to me in just 3 days. Kudos!

Cons: It doesnt cook or clean as good as my wife.
