Does PSU stuff

EVGA 850 B5, 80 Plus BRONZE 850W, Fully Modular, EVGA ECO Mode, 5 Year Warranty, Compact 150mm Size, Power Supply - 220-B5-0850-V1
EVGA 850 B5, 80 Plus BRONZE 850W, Fully Modular, EVGA ECO Mode, 5 Year Warranty, Compact 150mm Size, Power Supply - 220-B5-0850-V1

Pros: Full modular is very nice Quiet Does PSU stuff Comes with lots of cables

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Great PSU for doing POSU stuff, like powering a computer. The cables are pretty thick, but that's not necessarily a con. It's just slightly inconvenient if you don't have much space.

Most Critical Review

Solid, Nice Headphones

KOSS Black UR20 3.5mm/ 6.3mm Connector Circumaural Stereophones
KOSS Black UR20 3.5mm/ 6.3mm Connector Circumaural Stereophones

Pros: Nice big earphones, Pretty clear sound, long cable (Didn't think it was too thick like some other reviewers), comes with 1/4in convertor - a nice touch. They're a bit louder than you think once you stop listening to music and realize you can't hear anything, lol.

Cons: Phones are a tad TOO big, as the right phone kinda hangs off of my small head. Not much bass, if you're a music enthusiast or wanna listen to dubstep, these are not for you. I had a problem with it at first but they're good for gaming.

Overall Review: Buoght these for $15 so they were well worth it. Wouldn't buy them at full price

Check compatibility before buying

GeIL ORION RGB AMD Edition 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model GAOSG416GB3600C18ADC
GeIL ORION RGB AMD Edition 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model GAOSG416GB3600C18ADC

Pros: -Very bright and colorful -Cost-effective

Cons: -VERY bright -LEDs are obvious and too bright. Looks like a cheap LED strip. -Didn't like to be overclocked -Not very stable in my system.

Overall Review: The brightness of the LEDs can come down to personal opinion, but they seemed too bright to me. Very glaring. I ended up returning them mainly because they weren't stable in my PC. I'm guessing my motherboard didn't like them much, which is a bummer.

Good RAM.

G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Desktop Memory Model F4-2400C17D-8GVR

Pros: Does RAM stuff and things.

Overall Review: Good RAM. Does the RAM stuff. You plug it in and it does the thing that RAM does, randomly accessing memory. Let me tell you. That memory is randomly accessed pretty well. But there's nothing random about this package. You know what you're getting, and that's some darn good RAM for the price. Doing office stuff? Check. Facebook? Check. Gaming? Heck yeah. Nothing dim about these DIMMs, and they come in that powerful Hotrod Red. But believe me, that crisp aluminum shell keeps these hot hot puppies nice and cool. You want these. You need these.

One of the best for this price. Seriously!

Corsair Carbide Series 275R CC-9011133-WW White Steel / Plastic / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case
Corsair Carbide Series 275R CC-9011133-WW White Steel / Plastic / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case

Pros: Looks great, sleek and minimal. Lots of room. Great allowance for cable management. Vertical GPU ready. Newer model has thumb screws for glass panel. Nice tall feet! Glass panel is sturdy. Comes with all the screws you'll ever need. Disassembly and reassembly is very simple. Magnetic dust filters! Even the inside one! The lighting in the front panel is built into the I/O, so you don't need to waste a molex cable for it! Pretty lightweight. Consistent color tone. So many cable tie points. HDD bay is easy to remove, not bolted-on.

Cons: They could've gone with a more common screw size on the window screws. But that's me, I like to switch them all out for fancy screws. I've read about the side panel screw holes stripping, so we'll see. The vertical mount slots are right up against the side window. Like right up to it.

Overall Review: Looks like Corsair fixed the problems I'd read about with the original model, making for what seems to be the most nearly-perfect feature-friendly PC case for this price. Building in this thing is a breeze, especially coming from the case I had just got but wasn't as happy with. Side note - The vertical GPU mount slots are punch-out, which I've seen as a con in other reviews. I don't see this as a con, since the PCI vent slats fit in them just fine if you decide not to use them. Unless you're not using a graphics card at all, there won't be any holes. Just a break in the color scheme.

Good RGB RAM for the price

XPG SPECTRIX D41 RGB Desktop Memory: 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3600MHz CL18 Tungsten

Pros: Works

Cons: None

Overall Review: I will say I can't get them working with RGB Fusion. It just crashes when it tries to control their RGB. But that's fine.
