Good bang for the buck

SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100283VX-2L
SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100283VX-2L

Pros: -Ati does it again! -Awesome card..running Skyrim and BF3 full specs with no problems

Cons: -NONE

Overall Review: OK, seriously I bet half of the people who complain about failing cards A.) Don't clean computer components...dusty cards and fans heat up faster, you have to clean your stuff otherwise it overheats and breaks. B.) You have horrible cooling...you need good cooling in a gaming rig, come one people it's basic building here. Of course there is going to be a DOA for any product at some point or another, we have all had the misfortune of that...so don't degrade a product because you don't know what your doing, or you have the misfortune of getting a DOA...newegg and ATI are great about RMAs.

Good I think...

Cooler Master V6 GT - CPU Cooler with Dual 120 mm PWM Fans and 6 Heatpipes
Cooler Master V6 GT - CPU Cooler with Dual 120 mm PWM Fans and 6 Heatpipes

Pros: -Changeable colors -Quietish -Works -drops temps...good boy!

Cons: -I had to pull the whole mother board out to mount. Not sure why everyone is saying it's easy...maybe it's easier with the intel processors. -Isn't securely mounted, it has a little play, but my temps have dropped

Overall Review: It's working, just was a pain to mount and set because of the size of the fans, maybe I just got big hands!

You get what you pay for

Transcend 8GB Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) Flash Card Model TS8GSDHC6
Transcend 8GB Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) Flash Card Model TS8GSDHC6

Pros: -Works for what it is...a cheap SD card -Runs great as my back up SD card in my D7000

Cons: -none...why would I expect anything amazing from a class 6 SD card?

Overall Review: OK people we need to clarify some things here. -It's a class 6 card...this is not a high end photography card, don't expect super high speeds -Do your homework, SDHC does not work in older cameras...for instance anything as old as a D50 can only read standard SD. -If you want a reliable SD for important photography don't spend less then 20bucks and expect super high reliability...photography 101 here...I would never use a class 6 to take wedding pics. soo with that said, if you want a basic SDHC card buy it, its a good deal...if your wanting something super fast for high end RAWs you need to spend the money...

PC Power & Cooling ModXStream Pro Series 700 Watt 80+ Semi-Modular Active PFC Performance Grade ATX PC Power Supply (OCZ700MXSP)
PC Power & Cooling ModXStream Pro Series 700 Watt 80+ Semi-Modular Active PFC Performance Grade ATX PC Power Supply (OCZ700MXSP)

Pros: -Quiet -Super Customization -Works -power...yummy

Cons: -Only thing i had problems with was running out of connectors...but honestly that's what you get when you throw in a bunch of drives and extras into your build...

Overall Review: If your gonna complain about length read before you buy, specs where very clear on what it came with...I would recommend this to anyone, no problems...i have a huge antec case and the cable length worked just fine!

Good buy

Logitech G110 LED Backlighting Gaming Keyboard
Logitech G110 LED Backlighting Gaming Keyboard

Pros: -Great build(except for rest) -Coloring is sweet, back light is great -Durable(Spilled a can of Mt. Dew into it...pulled it apart, cleaned it, and it still works great.) -works great for gaming -plugged mouse into the USB works great. -audio outputs sound good -macro system is a breeze

Cons: -It does take a while to get used to...almost feels as if the keys are squished together and offset a bit. Took me about a day to not hit the wrong keys...the left control key seems a bit out of place. But if that doesn't bother you get it. -

Overall Review: Not sure how I feel about the off-set feel to the keyboard, but honestly if your buying a gaming keyboard don't expect it to be built for typing...the rest for the wrist is annoying so I just left it off...never have been a fan of them in the first place...had to move some game controls to different keys in Skyrim, but I blame that on the games button mapping. Will recommend this to anyone who is looking at getting a good step into gaming keyboards

Worth it

Logitech G500 10 Buttons Dual-mode Scroll Wheel USB Wired Laser Gaming Mouse
Logitech G500 10 Buttons Dual-mode Scroll Wheel USB Wired Laser Gaming Mouse

Pros: I have had several bad experiences with gaming and this is not one of them. Quick response and cord is amazing

Cons: Not that I have seen so far, not sure what the deal is with the negative reviews.

Overall Review: It's not the top of the line by any means, but really what can you expect from this price range. I have not had any of the issues that supposedly curse this model and I have several friends who have the same one. I don't even use a mouse pad and I have not had any problems...besides if something goes wrong its called a warranty...Logitech has always treated me well when it comes to things like that.
