ASUS Sabertooth Z97 Mark I

Pros: Very solid board with a plethora of options. I loved the fact that in addition to the multitude of sensors built into the board, it also came with three thermistors, which you can use to monitor other areas that are not otherwise. I also love the AI Suite 3 software. It allows me to check on the board and peripheral status, from temps to fan rpm and voltages at any given time.
Cons: None atm.
Best PC case that I have purchased to date

Pros: - Makes my PC look futuristic with the glass siding and the RGB lighting. - Lots of space for your peripherals. makes wire management a breeze.
Cons: N/A
Overall Review: I never thought that I would ever purchase a case like this, but after looking online for some ideas for new PC builds I decided to go with the Lian Li O11 Dymamic EVO RGB case. When I made the statement 'a case like this' I was referring to one that is a bit showy, with the lighting. However after upgrading my keyboard and mouse (both RGB lit), I decided to do the same with my case as well. I am glad that I did. I love the look, especially at night. Even with the lighting off, it looks very artsy and sleek. I have to thank Starforge Systems for the inspiration as I kept looking at their creator series of PC offerings and decided to just purchase the same case they were using in those builds.
Best CPU that I have purchased to date

Pros: Great for gaming. Every game that I have loaded on my system from Cyberpunk 2077 to Dragon's Dogma 2, it handles with no issues whatsoever. This is with all settings maxed out.
Cons: None so far
Overall Review: I had purchased this CPU as an upgrade from my previous one. I had my last CPU for over 10 years, so I thought that it was about time for a fresh start. After searching on various PC sites/reddit for recommendations, I decided to purchase the 7800X3D as I kept hearing that it was very good for gaming and it's stability. So far I have no complaints. I am glad that I made this purchase.
DEEPCOOL Gamer Storm Captain 240

Pros: I am very pleased with this cooler. I was a bit apprehensive prior to purchasing, but after reading and watching a number of reviews I was convinced that this would be a better option than the Antec KUHLER H2O 1250.
Cons: It would be nice is the instructions were a bit more comprehensive.
EVGA 04G-P4-2983-KR

Pros: Everything I have thrown at these cards, they laugh at! I purchased these for the upcoming games slated to be released later on in the year. Very good temps at idle and load. Plus they are very quiet, surprisingly so. Plus I got two free games from the purchase, so that is a bonus.
Cons: These cards are like the Prime class of video cards, but such is to be expected. Not really a con, just stating that you need ample room in your case for one or more of them.
Fully modular at 1600W - what more can I say?

Pros: This exactly what I needed to ensure both good wire management and to make sure that I had ample power for the 2 GTX 980 cards that I have, my drives, and other peripherals that I might want to add in the future. Plus a 1 year warranty does not hurt either.
Cons: It was not free. ;)
