Pros: - Packaging was really nice! Looks perfect. - came with a free gift fan.

Overall Review: Never bought Super Flower PSU before and I heard good things about them, really excited to pair this up with a I9 14900k and 4090. Currently paired with the i9 and 3080

Most Critical Review

Great CPU but the setbacks are major.

Intel Core i9-14900K - Core i9 14th Gen 24-Core (8P+16E) LGA 1700 125W Intel UHD Graphics 770 Desktop Processor - Boxed - BX8071514900K
Intel Core i9-14900K - Core i9 14th Gen 24-Core (8P+16E) LGA 1700 125W Intel UHD Graphics 770 Desktop Processor - Boxed - BX8071514900K

Pros: - Core count and power compared to other CPUs currently, they simply don't match it's power just yet.

Cons: - Default Cinebench R23 score is 30k In order to even reach 38k-41k score in Cinebench R23, you must undervolt! This is a forced requirement due to how much this CPU likes to overdraw voltage and I mean it goes over the top that Intel should be ashamed of the default settings. I don't blame anyone switching to AMD over this, I managed to underclock this thing in no time and it's 100% stable with much lower temps.

Overall Review: If you know what you are doing, undervolt this bad-boy it's a great CPU otherwise buy AMD.

First purchase of RGB RAM, Love it!

Overall Review: I have a MSI MPG Z790 Edge. Pro tip don't use the XMP mode on the motherboard, use the other setting Ram "Memory try it!" mode. Yes yes I know it's excessive and overkill going 4 sticks of ram. but i like me RAM!!! I recommend 6000mhz setting as it's a good safe headroom and if you plan to use all 4 slots. Works great and haven't had issues with my 4x16gb. Highly recommend these sticks.

Great cheap monitor

Pros: Cheap, good size and has a great picture.

Cons: - The stand isn't too adjustable.

Overall Review: Overall if you want something affordable and looks good for games and movies, I'd recommend it, haven't extensively tested it for long periods gaming to see how fast it is, but it displays movies fine.

It's not really that good.

Overall Review: It's both games I don't really care for and the site process for it is simple but awful.

Great case, easy to work with. Love it!

Pros: - Great airflow! - Clear and awesome tempered glass. - The wood feels nice (wish it was a little bigger but that's okay) - Easy to connect and cable manage with someone who has big hands like me. - GamerNexus sponsored it. (Didn't even know until I seen one of their most recent videos on the AIO I was getting.)

Cons: - My only real complaint is I wish the HDD holder could be flat instead of sideways, I haven't tried to swap places with the SSD holder but I'm sure it won't fit.

Overall Review: I would buy one again in the future!
