Awesome Processor

Intel Core i9 9th Gen - Core i9-9900K Coffee Lake 8-Core, 16-Thread, 3.6 GHz (5.0 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series) 95W BX80684I99900K Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630
Intel Core i9 9th Gen - Core i9-9900K Coffee Lake 8-Core, 16-Thread, 3.6 GHz (5.0 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series) 95W BX80684I99900K Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630

Pros: Very very fast. Games as well as the hype says it does. Also excellent for work stations. Very good Silicon, Easy to overclock with a good Air or AIO cooler, just expect power consumption to go up noticeably with the higher clocks. This Processor should be paired with at least a good mid range Motherboard for it's full potential.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Very Happy with my Purchase. If your a Hardcore gamer & do streaming Etc, then you will be very pleased with this processor.

Good Card for the Money

SAPPHIRE Radeon R7 260X 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Video Card 100366-2L
SAPPHIRE Radeon R7 260X 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Video Card 100366-2L

Pros: Great Card for the money. Plays Most games on high

Cons: Extremely Buggy Drivers & they get worse with each Update. Would have rated 5 stars if it wasn't for that. Be prepared for Stuttering, Black Screens & annoying 60mhz Flickering.

Excellent Higher End Mid Gaming Card

EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti XC ULTRA BLACK GAMING Video Card, 06G-P4-1265-KR, 6GB GDDR6, Dual HDB Fans
EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti XC ULTRA BLACK GAMING Video Card, 06G-P4-1265-KR, 6GB GDDR6, Dual HDB Fans

Pros: Powerful Card. Can Run most AAA Games on High & some Ultra. As Always EVGA is a very High Quality heavy well made card. I Have used EVGA Graphics cards Exclusively Since the TNT2 card nearly 20 years ago. In all this time I have never had a faulty card. I still have a 9800 GT Paired with a Q6600 in a rig I built in 2008 for GTA IV. The card is still going strong. Would highly recommend this card if you cannot afford a higher end one. It gets the job done and it does it well.

Cons: In some heavy game areas it is a Bottleneck, while my i9 9900k is only using 50 - 60 % of it's resources waiting for the GPU to catch up, but not a deal breaker. I cannot afford a 2080 so I compromised & got the 1660 TI and to be honest it is a great card & I have no regrets buying it.

Overall Review: If this card is in your price range do not hesitate to buy. Overall very nice card.

Great case for the price

Antec Performance Series P7 Silent, Mid Tower Computer Case, 2 x USB 3.0, Sound Dampening Side Panel, 2x120mm Fans installed, Support up to 6 Drive Bays
Antec Performance Series P7 Silent, Mid Tower Computer Case, 2 x USB 3.0, Sound Dampening Side Panel, 2x120mm Fans installed, Support up to 6 Drive Bays

Pros: Has a 5.25 External Drive Bay. Hard Drive caddy works very well. Comes with 2 120 mm Fans. Plenty of room for High Profile Air Coolers and Long Graphics cards. Quiet like it is supposed to be. Comes with velcro cable ties & zip Ties & assorted screws for Motherboard & Drives Etc.

Cons: Would have liked this exact case with a glass panel side option. No Drive activity light. Rear Slot covers are breakaway & cause some distortion removing them

Overall Review: All in all for the money it is a good case, although I would not purchase another one.

Nice SSD Drive

Patriot Burst 2.5" 240GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) PBU240GS25SSDR
Patriot Burst 2.5" 240GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) PBU240GS25SSDR

Pros: Fast Drive. I put this in my Wifes computer as she doesn't need anymore than 240 gigs. Windows 10 installed with no problems & Bios found it right away. Purchased on sale for roughly 10 cents a Gigabyte, what a wonderful Technological time we live in. I have been building computers for nearly 30 years. Back in the day a dollar a Megabyte was considered a good price.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I will be buying another one for a secondary drive on my computer.

Good Quality Ram

G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) Desktop Memory Model F4-2666C15D-16GVR
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) Desktop Memory Model F4-2666C15D-16GVR

Pros: Looks nice. Worked right away and seems very stable. Would only run @ 2133 Mhz but then again it is not on the Gigabyte Aorus Pro Motherboard support list so I cannot blame the Ram. As soon as I went into Bios And chose XMP Profile it runs @ 2666 with no crashes.

Cons: None, It was on Sale and for the money you can't go Wrong.

Overall Review: I will be buying another pair of this ram to give myself 32 gigs. For the price I recommend it. Good quality Ram much better than the Plain OEM stuff.
