Pros: The product is great. Too great maybe as it's apparently sold out now. I got mine a few months ago and have had no problems. Half Life 2 Lost Coast video stress test, yes I know it's a very old game but it's still a good stress test, got 246 fps.

Cons: There is a noticeable powering down sound when exiting from games. My pc also makes a device connect sound whenever I turn the monitor on/off. I believe this is because the fans or maybe even entire card shuts off when monitor is turned off. Now for the REALLY horrible news, the new Crimson Drivers can potentially destroy this card by turning off the fans by default. Google it and be prepared to meet the true face of fear for a pc enthusiast; a burnt out GPU. I really could not believe what I was reading and that AMD would put these things out in the wild without discovering or fixing this obvious problem. They released a hotfix on Feb. 3 but by then the damage had been done to many video cards. I myself downloaded the Crimson drivers, after this fiasco thankfully, and was really turned off by their new bloatware "assistant" that makes Win10 Cortana seem private and discreet. I hadn't even heard about the burnt out GPUs yet but the footprint and creepy takeover of my system, like Win10, by the new "assistant" was too much and I not only deleted drivers but was forced to do a restore in order to completely remove them. I have NEVER had to do a restore with this system in the 3 years I've had it, I was not happy. You can download a minimal install with just the drivers but they have really lost my trust at this point so I'm using Catalyst 15.201 with no problems. Edit 4/26/16 - Just downloaded latest 16.4.2 drivers released today and it finally seems stable. No black screen or reboots, I even have the Raptor application working properly with Steam. Thanks AMD.

Pros: I previously owned a GS600 which was great so I thought Corsair was a trustworthy company.

Cons: This is NOT the GS600. I have a Corsair 650d, which is another story but another reason I'll NEVER buy Corsair again, which is notoriously loud with it's DEFECTIVE front fan and the PSU is audible over EVERYTHING. It's like a fan hum with a electric buzz that pulsates and it's REALLY annoying and non-stop. So now I have to undue my new build because of this one defectively loud PSU? I don't WANT to RMA I just want this product that I spent good money on to work. Thanks a LOT Corsair, you just lost a customer for life.

Overall Review: I have purchased the Corsair 650d case, the GS600 psu and the GS800 psu over the past year. Only the GS600 has performed up to expectations. I have given over $500 to this company over the past year and I do NOT feel this money was well spent. Knowing what I know now I would NEVER have purchased anything from Corsair and I never will again. I can hear it as I write this and it makes me angry, resentful and regretful. Don't let this happen to you, don't buy this product.

Pros: Super impressed with everything including customer support. First time buying a pre-build online and would do it again with this company in a heartbeat.

Cons: Sent the wrong power cord, like with others, gave me the option of discount or waiting for replacement. Had an old one lying in the parts closet, so I got an extra discount.

Overall Review: 1 year in and it is SO quiet and so pretty and it was SO cheap for what you get! It's even 60 bucks cheaper now! No brainer.

Pros: Corsair Toolbox cloned it without a hitch and did exactly what it was supposed to do.

Cons: I did 5 clones/swipes before I got it right.

Overall Review: Had to do a restart after trying a shutdown (power source and everything) in order for drive to just show up in Device Manager and Corsair Toolbox as an option to clone to. Cloning a drive requires the c: drive AND the Boot Drive partition in order for the drive to boot up. I didn't know this. I unclicked the c: drive by accident anyways the first time so the clone was of only the boot partition and another archive partition that was on there from Corsair. Booting from that sent Win10 into "trying to repair your drive mode" so I tried again. I cloned just the c: drive this time with no boot up results again because the boot drive partition was missing this time. Finally I left everything checked and cloned the whole thing; c: drive, boot drive partition and the Corsair partition. It worked and it booted BUT the drive was an exact clone (240 GB showing on a 960 GB drive) with the drive showing the same size and the Corsair built in partition showing the remaining drive space. Didn't want to mess with 3rd party partition software yet so I tried resizing the partition in Corsair Toolbox BEFORE cloning it. No dice, exact copy the 5th time and by this time I had tried to do the partition myself and made c: drive the "active" partition (NEVER DO THIS!!!!!) because it was one of the only options available in disk management. Rendered the drive unbootable (tried command line partition commands and still didn't boot when making boot drive active) until I swiped it again. Made exact clone, used online free partition software (AOMEI) to delete Corsair partition of 760GB and the space moved to my c: drive. Now only c: drive and boot partition show up as clone options in Corsair Toolbox. Live and learn. One note; after formating a 960 GB SSD the legitmate size will be 894 GB. Seemed like a lot to me so I Googled and sure enough it's legit just so you know.

Pros: Overclocked to 4.3 Ghz with only push/pull fans on each side of coolermaster and it runs at 40c. Still sells out 4 years after it was produced so that speaks for itself.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Asus has been good to me, I'd choose them again. AI suite makes overclocking easy and included temp and voltage monitors are essential as well. Cool looking board with built in heat sinks and different colored lights makes the guts of my pc pretty.

Cons: BIOS updating does not work in AI suite, tries to connect to server (any of the 3 listed) and never does and doesn't time out.

I built my last pc over ten years ago for a thousand dollars and it finally had a SSD error that forced me to revert back to original OS, negating ANY chance I had of getting back my free Win 10 upgrade for Win 7. Now Windows 7 is great, just not in 2024. The machine is powerful, colorful, quiet and pretty discrete too. Coming from a clunky full tower, this mid tower was nice and had plenty of USB slots in front for my SD cards. Even without a video card it functions very well with Ryzen's built in graphics until you can get one. Very neat cable management, with the power cables tucked behind the motherboard and accessible by undoing the back side of the pc opposite the see through front. The see through front is plastic not glass, expected for the price, and frankly it's a relief as it feels like it could stand a drop as opposed to a glass one. Be careful when installing video card as motherboard feels like it gives a little under the weight of a modern video card and might be fragile enough to be damaged by an over aggressive installation. Bios is accessible by holding DEL at IPASON symbol on boot up and everything was in English. Trying to enter Windows account caused a problem initially as it asked for original Admin password which I didn't have as it shipped in Admin mode and booted up instantly, everything installed and NO bloatware. Reboot allowed Windows account login and it logs automatically into Windows account on boot up ever since. Not paranoid about machine shipping in Admin mode and phoning home, I'm not that interesting. Having bios and hardware security of Win 11 is a nice advance over Win10 I suppose but getting used to windows "Start" icon being in the MIDDLE of the taskbar takes some getting used to with widgets in it's old location. Would buy again in a heartbeat and really happy with the purchase.

Seller contacted me via e-mail to let me know of a delay in shipping which I knew about when ordering. About a week later I received a mousepad, a small mirror and a third item which I can't recall; all from the seller's location in China. I thought the seller must have sent me the wrong stuff but then I realized; these were GIFTS as a token gesture because my shipping was delayed. This blew me away! I've never, EVER received free items because my stuff was delayed and almost felt guilty keeping it. KFX Trade even included a business card with their shipment which arrived less than a week after the free items. Thank you KFX Trade for a great transaction with super service with a smile :)!
