Dead On Arrival

WD Black 1TB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD1003FZEX

Pros: Reviewed as being good.

Cons: Dead on arrival, had to buy another at the local store to finish my build.

Overall Review: This HD has been advertised and reviewed as being very good. During a recent testing WD's came out the strongest. I guess it is better to have it die now then later. I had to buy another at my local shop, same kind so I could finish my build. Will start RMA and hope I can get a refund.

Runs great now, but issues and support

GIGABYTE Radeon RX 470 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card GV-RX470G1 GAMING-4G

Pros: Quiet Graphics are great

Cons: Terrible manual and no customer support at all.............

Overall Review: There is a light that comes on when there is a voltage problem. It comes on every now and then, but the manual states only if it flashes constantly. So I am not sure what these random one time flashes mean. I guess I will return and buy from another manufacturer. Multiple emails to gigabyte and not one response for help.

Great card for most games, some games have graphics issues

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100354OC-2L

Pros: Easy install, free games with bundle, runs cool, no problem with heat.

Cons: I play 2 games quite often and apparently AMD cards have serious graphics issues with them. All the other games I play run fine, but it figures that the 2 I play the most have such bad issues. There is no fix in the future or being worked on.

Overall Review: I hate to make the card down for those 2 games, but I would have never bought the card, even the deal it was if I knew it would have such issues with those games. The card is freakin great for the other games.
