CM Storm Stryker - White Full Tower Gaming Computer Case with Handle and External 2.5" Drive Dock

Pros: -My favorite case. -Looks awesome -Fan controller works great -Rotatable hard drive bays -the fans move a lot of air and are fairly quiet -heavy duty -built in toolbox is handy

Cons: -HEAVY duty can get heavy -probably not the greatest for custom watercooling loops

Overall Review: This thing is great for a lan case that requires a lot of room, but it can get pretty heavy. the fan controller has 6 speedsand enogh connectors for 4 fans including led connectors. You won't be disappionted.<<<lol cant spell

Very Good Cooler!

Intel Core i5-4670K - Core i5 4th Gen Haswell Quad-Core 3.4 GHz LGA 1150 84W Intel HD Graphics Desktop Processor - BX80646I54670K
Intel Core i5-4670K - Core i5 4th Gen Haswell Quad-Core 3.4 GHz LGA 1150 84W Intel HD Graphics Desktop Processor - BX80646I54670K

Pros: -Fast -Reliable -Great for any gamers or pretty much anyone -Graphics are decent, not the best, but decent

Cons: -Price (don't really care because you get what you pay for) So pretty much no cons

Overall Review: I don't know why everyone is being so hateful towards these processors, why would you need to overclock it really high when it already chews through anything you throw at it. I've heard it gets hotter than Ivy bridge but I'm running at 32c at idle and have never went over 50c on stock heatsink. But for right now im only playing small games like minecraft on the integrated graphics. One more thing I have this pared with an ASUS Z87-c and it downclocks it to about 0800 MHz when at idle and then kicks in and completely skips 3.4GHz and goes to 3.8GHz when gaming a 30% usage in task manager.

Very Good quality

ASUS Z87-C LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS Z87-C LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: -Very well made motherboard by ASUS. -They pretty much have the best bios and features you would need and want. -Very reliable. - I love the lights it has that tell you if something is wrond with your hardware, they helped me the very first day.

Cons: -Mainly I see that companies like Msi have an (i believe ) msata port integrated on the motherboard. Its not much of a con because this is a newer developing feature. But maybe its a good thing they aren't including the newest features until they are reliable. -The color scheme isn't the best. -Oh and customer support could be a little better but they are helpful.

Overall Review: To those who don't know the Z87 drivers from asus are only compatible with windows 7 and 8. I wish the reveiwers before me luck with their DOA's. I will always be a fan of Asus.
