Pros: So far....WOW. Runs cool, runs fast. Completely inaudible. Comes with free AvP download on Steam Client (not impressed with the game, but the card dominates it). Burns through every game I've tried so far. Great value to performance ratio IMHO.

Cons: Zero. Zip. Nada. Actually, no temperature sensor? Dunno if that's just me but my typical monitoring program doesn't pick it up. I had to move an extra sensor near it to how cool it was. And it is. So it deserves no gripes for this, as it runs so cool I won't ever be worrying about it.

Overall Review: Consider your airflow before purchase. My case has enough fans pointing in the right directions to still port the air out the back of the case. Remember this isn't a blower style fan so you can't have the air statically cycling over the heat sink and then back over it again.

Pros: There's nothing wrong with it. Solid capacitors, great power management. AMD 965 runs beautiful and cool. G.Skill DDR3 Ripjaws had zero problems with compatibility. Installed with Coolermaster Hyper 212 plus. My system doesn't need overclocking at the moment, great performance so far.

Cons: Just a reminder to stick with one nice video card and can the crossfire set up ideas with this board. I"d rather one powerful card running at x16 than two at x8... just me.

Overall Review: Cooler Master ATCS 840 full tower case, Black Edition XFX 750 W Silver Plus Certified Modular, Samsung PX2370 Led monitor, Creative Labs Xtreme Gamer, Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus, XFX 5830 1GB 256 Bit DDR5, 8 GB DDR3 G.Skill Ripjaws, AMD 965 black Quad Core 3.4 Ghz, 150GB 10,000RMP WD Raptor, 1TB 7200 black WD HD.

Pros: 80 plus SILVER certified. At this price? You crazy? Buy it. This thing has awards from hardwaresecrets.com. Solid Japanese Capacitors. Silent 135mm fan. Great styling/packaging. Modular cable sleeving is tight and exudes quality. I had no problem with the connection endings on any of the cables (unlike my last 650W modular Corsair experience, where I had to take a razor blade to carve out some shoddy connection endings). This PSU is single handedly keeping my system several degrees cooler than I had anticipated.

Cons: Some of the cabling is a little stiff, however they do bend and stay put when you bend them. Therefore, they perform fantastically from a cable management scenario. They just aren't as flexible as Corsair's or Cooler Master's modular sleeving.

Overall Review: Works great in a Full Tower Cooler Master ATCS 840 case. All the cables reach! Even top optical drive (considering the positioning of the Sata Cables on my Mobo). Plenty of cabling for multiple video card set ups. Essentially made by Seasonic, if my research holds up, the quality is OUTSTANDING.

Pros: The price is right. I would of happily paid more for the performance I'm getting out of this chip. Using with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus and the HIGHEST temperature I've recorded was 40 degrees C. Its average is 34. I'm floored by the speed and even comparing this to the new AMD Hex cores, I can't say that it would be better to get one...Why? Because I don't know of any programs even a gamer would be using to push all six cores to the max. This chip more than handles everything I've thrown at it without even flexing its real muscle.

Cons: Zero. Zip. Nada. The results have way outweighed my expectations.

Overall Review: Using with a black edition XFX 750W Modular PSU 80 plus silver certified. That along with my Hyper 212 Plus is keeping this AMD so beautifully cold. I expect several years of satisfied use before even considering OCing. Cooler Master ATCS 840.

Pros: Since my first G.Skill ram purchase four years ago I have used nothing but. NO other brand has had such a consistent out of the box stability and performance in the builds I have done. Zero DOAs, Zero compatibility issues with Asus Mobos. And Zero issues with knocking the socks off of gaming/multitasking. The price isn't a premium like Corsair, and you're getting a greater commitment to quality from a slightly younger company.

Cons: Zero. Zip. Nada.

Overall Review: If you find overclocking ram necessary, I cannot attest to knowledge messing with Voltage levels on these sticks specifically. I have done mild speed increases on other models from G. Skill, but nothing crazy. The bottom line is that these work so well from the get go, as long as you have enough RAM, why bother?

Pros: It works. It's stable, running at a consistent 35 degrees C. It's faster than your ordinary 7200 RPM drive. It's quieter than a raptor and about 1/15th the noise level of a standard Optical drive. It has 1 TB of space on it. It's Western Digital.

Cons: Heck no.

Overall Review: Western Digital is king. The only other brand I've tried with consistent success are Samsung Spinpoint series HDs. Keep it real, go with what works for years.
