Logitech G9x USB Gaming Mouse

Logitech G9x Black Two modes scroll USB Wired Laser 5700 dpi Gaming Mouse
Logitech G9x Black Two modes scroll USB Wired Laser 5700 dpi Gaming Mouse

Pros: -Beautiful ergonomic design, but not too goofy feeling like some of the more crazy mouses out there -Extremely comfortable with both of the inter-changeable mouse "cases" I want to call them -Scroll ball locking feature is excellent when browsing long sections of code or zooming out in a video game fast -Buttons on the side are in a great spot and not in the way -Laser is exceptional, not one derp moment with this mouse yet after 5 months of use -On the fly DPI adjustment comes in handy in games such as BF3 and Fallout: New Vegas

Cons: -Only 2 buttons on the side, but I knew that when buying -Weights made the mouse feel like it was coming apart when using the max weight, although at first when I had them all in, I loved the weight of it but I took them out in fear of losing some longevity of the mouse

Overall Review: If I were to buy a mouse over again I would probably have a tough choice between this and the Corsair M90 MMO mouse. Overall: Great mouse, I would recommend this mouse to anyone that doesn't care about having 17 programmable buttons on a mouse, but wants high quality lasers, comfort, and reliability with on the fly DPI adjustment.

GTX 550Ti

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card ZT-50401-10L
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card ZT-50401-10L

Pros: Fast little budget card Cool Quiet Doesn't use much power Short card

Cons: 192 bit bus kills this card in terms of trying to use it for anything more than 1080p in gaming in my opinion.

Overall Review: Bought 2 of them for SLI, max out almost every game except Battlefield 3 with a 1920x1200 monitor. This card seems to work really well on a 720p TV, able to crank up the graphics on literally every game I've thrown at it with just one card and doesn't use much power while maintaining a beautiful 60 fps.

i7 2600K

Intel Core i7-2600K - Core i7 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Intel HD Graphics 3000 Desktop Processor - BX80623I72600K
Intel Core i7-2600K - Core i7 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Intel HD Graphics 3000 Desktop Processor - BX80623I72600K

Pros: AMAZING Well worth the price tag Don't see a need for anything more than this bad boy.

Cons: -None

Overall Review: Ivy Bridge's voltages cause it to run significantly hotter than this chip. If you love overclocking and want an insane beast of a CPU, this is the guy to get. I am in love.

CM 650W

Cooler Master GX - 650W Power Supply with 80 PLUS Bronze Certification

Pros: Fantastic power supply Runs 2 GTX 500ti's without breaking a sweat Decent amount of connectors Nice sleeved cables Silent

Cons: Cables could have been a bit longer, wouldn't recommend this for a full tower case.

Overall Review: 5 months and no problems at all Very reliable, high quality product

MSI Z68MA-G45 (B3)

MSI Z68MA-G45 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
MSI Z68MA-G45 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: Supports SLI Nice little mATX board Has a UEFI (a little buggy feeling) Good board for getting in to the 1155 socket at a reasonable price Seems to be pretty stable so far, no major issues

Cons: Overclocking on this thing is a pain, I think there's something wrong with the voltage regulators

Overall Review: Will be replacing this with a high end ASUS board soon. Only got this because it was part of a combo with an i7 2600k and a 60GB SSD.

Pros: -Very good Mid tower. -Excellent airflow -Quite a few cable management options -Bottom mounted PSU (doesn't include one)

Overall Review: Exceptional case to get for your first build when you don't wanna dish out 150 for a HAF X
