Birthday Gift: Motherboard Upgrade

ASUS TUF SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
ASUS TUF SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: Awesome motherboard to help upgrade an up and coming system. Bought it for a close friend of mine as a Birthday Gift. He was very eager to install it once he received it. Another great ASUS product.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I originally owned the first revision of the ASUS Sabertooth and it did not disappoint. With their Rev. 2.0 out it wasn't hard to decide on which board would be a good upgrade for my friends system. Not only do I have just one friend with this board, but another buddy of mine who I helped with his first major PC build has this running in his system. Great products from a great manufacturer.

Nice replacement system

ASUS Desktop PC M11BB-US011S AMD A4-6300 4GB DDR3 1TB HDD AMD Radeon HD 8370D Windows 8

Pros: Had this PC ordered for a couple I know. I had worked on their PC prior to, and it was about time for an upgrade (10 years ago). Went through all of the specs with them (even though they didn't understand much of it) and ended up ordering this PC for them. One of the other main reasons that I did order this system is that it was made by ASUS. A good amount of my own PC at home has parts manufactured by ASUS, and I think they do a great job with not only their marketing and parts, but also service wise. The PC has been running great for this couple. Just needed to brush up on the latest versions of Windows with them.

Cons: None

Maxed out RAM for friend's system

G.SKILL NQ 12GB (6 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9T2-12GBNQ
G.SKILL NQ 12GB (6 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9T2-12GBNQ

Pros: Purchased for a friend who wanted to do another small upgrade to his system. System originally came with 9GB of memory (not sure of speeds but I know for sure it wasn't maxed out). Found this kit online and recommended it, and now his system has a little bit more pep alongside the SSD we also installed. Great kit of memory for the price. G.Skill's heatsink designs are eye-catching and well engineered.

Cons: None

Nice upgrade for home system

SAMSUNG 840 EVO  SAMSUNG 840 EVO 2.5" 120GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TE120BW

Pros: Great products and affordable pricing for a quick upgrade. Bought for a friend of mine to update his system. Wanted something that wasn't too pricey and would get the job done. Samsung does an amazing job with their SSDs and the EVOs are awesome drives for everyday users.

Cons: None

Awesome Wireless Mouse

Perixx PERIMICE-714, Wireless Performance Mouse - 2.4G - Nano Receiver - 2000 DPI Optical Resolution - On/Off Switch - 2xAAA Brand Batteries
Perixx PERIMICE-714, Wireless Performance Mouse - 2.4G - Nano Receiver - 2000 DPI Optical Resolution - On/Off Switch - 2xAAA Brand Batteries

Pros: Battery life seems to be great out of the gate. Nice sized switch on the underside for easy on/off functionality. Has a nice feel and fits in the hand great. Also for people who wonder, it has 3 pre-set DPI settings which can be cycled through by the click of a button in the middle of the mouse. Has the side buttons and a home button for ease of use.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Haven't really tried seeing how far of a distance I can get from the mouse to the receiver. Working great with a distance of about 4 feet from the mouse to receiver.

Great Backlit Keyboard for the Price

Perixx PX-1100, Backlit Keyboard - Red/Blue/Purple Illuminated Keys - Gaming Style Ergonomic Design - Rubber Painting Surface - 20 Million Key-Press Lifecycle - Adjustable Palm Rest
Perixx PX-1100, Backlit Keyboard - Red/Blue/Purple Illuminated Keys - Gaming Style Ergonomic Design - Rubber Painting Surface - 20 Million Key-Press Lifecycle - Adjustable Palm Rest

Pros: Pricing was perfect. Colors are easy on the eyes and not too bright even on the highest setting. Great implementation of the brightness dial. Bought as a gift for my dad and he loves it. He won't have to worry about not being able to see the keys when he's at his computer (Placement of lighting in the house isn't the greatest).

Cons: None

Overall Review: If you're wondering how the LEDs are powered, they just run off of the main USB cable. Figure I would say something, considering that was one of the first questions my dad asked.
