Great cooler!

CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i Extreme Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 240mm
CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i Extreme Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 240mm

Pros: I have only been using this for a short time but I am very pleased with its performance. I was very undecided about switching to liquid CPU cooling but I'm glad I did. This does a fantastic job cooling my i7-4770k. Was very simple to set up. When I built my new PC I tested everything on a breadboard setup outside the case and this as well to make sure that no hoses were leaking. If you decide to test this outside of your case, make sure that the you keep the radiator above the CPU block. The size is great, much smaller than a huge heatsink, leaves more open space in the case and the hoses don't get in the way of anything.

Cons: None so far, everything works better than I ever expected.

Overall Review: All in all this was a great purchase and I am very pleased with the cooler. The Corsair Link software could use a bit of work but it's nothing worth knocking an egg off for. If your looking for a cooler that is going to keep your temps low and don't feel like running a custom loop then this is the way to go.

Amazed!

QNIX QX2710 LED Evolution II Multi TRUE10 Matte 27-Inch 2560x1440 AH-VA Panel DVI HDMI Monitor

Pros: Beautiful Display 1440p Overclockable

Cons: Flimsy Stand Speakers don't sound to great Possible dead pixels or backlight bleeding

Overall Review: I just received my monitor and it blew me away. Coming from a 21" 1080p screen I knew it would be a difference but I didn't realize how much. The display I got has zero dead or stuck pixels and from what I can tell there is no backlight bleed. I also overclocked it to 96hz right out of the box. I could have probably pushed it further but I'm honestly happy right where it's at. My two EVGA GTX 980 FTWs have handled everything I've thrown at it on Ultra settings at 96 fps and it's amazing. I took a gamble with this display, I wasn't really sure what I was going to end up with. Do yourself a favor and pick one of these up, you won't regret it! Fantastic monitor!

Performs great!

Pros: This is a great board. Worked flawlessly with my i7-4770k and G.Skill Trident X 16gb 2400mhz right out of the box. The bios are very easy to set up, overclocking is a breeze.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: This is a very decent board for the price. Everything set up very easily. Recognized my memory at 2400mhz, just make sure to enable XMP in the bios.

Awesome case!

Cooler Master HAF 922 - High Air Flow Mid Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and All-Black Interior

Pros: I'm very pleased with this case, it was everything I hoped that it would be. The airflow is fantastic, everything runs super cool. The 200mm fans aren't very loud either and keeps noise to a minimum. Plenty of expansion slots and the USB 3.0 on the front is great. The removable 3.5" brackets make storage very easy and also support 2.5" SSD drives. It's very spacious for a mid size tower, I had plenty of room for everything and it's very easy to work on. Cable management is a breeze, you can run everything behind the motherboard and basically have no cables showing.

Cons: None, this case is great! I do wish it had a side panel window though but that wasn't a deal breaker for me.

Overall Review: There are plenty of mods you can do to this case. Personally, I added a 120mm intake fan under the CD drives for even more air. I'm also planning on making a custom side panel window for it.

Great purchase!

Pros: I decided to go with one of these for my new build, mainly just for the OS and a few applications and games. Works perfect, you can't beat it for the price. I'm going to purchase another one soon.

Cons: None so far.

Awesome memory

G.SKILL TridentX Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C10D-16GTX
G.SKILL TridentX Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C10D-16GTX

Pros: Very fast, runs at 2400mhz as it's supposed to in my MSI Z97 motherboard. Just make sure you enable XMP whenever you install it. The removable heat spreaders are nice to have, although I didn't have a need to take them off.

Cons: Nothing so far, the only thing that I could think of that might be a con for some is how tall this memory is. If I wasn't using a liquid CPU block and had a large heatsink there's no way this would fit my motherboard.

Overall Review: Very pleased with this memory. It performs as advertised and I'm glad I decided to go with this product for my new build.
