Most Favorable Review

Does what I want

Cooler Master Hyper D92 - CPU Air Cooler with Dual 92mm Offset Push-Pull Fans and Accelerated Cooling System
Cooler Master Hyper D92 - CPU Air Cooler with Dual 92mm Offset Push-Pull Fans and Accelerated Cooling System

Pros: Cheap and does lots of cooling Not too huge and bulky either (Like that V8, wow its big) Keeps my i7-6700K Skylake around 80 degrees F when overclocking with XMP. Looks pretty neat too. Doesn't leak water on your build.

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: Have to plug in 2-fans so make sure your motherboard has 2 fan connectors or buy adapters so you can plug them into your PSU

Most Critical Review

Complete Waste

Sentry LX Aluminum dual bay fan controller
Sentry LX Aluminum dual bay fan controller

Pros: Newegg is great.

Cons: The thing died after the first few minutes of use. NZXT customer support is terrible. Had to have newegg get the warranty issued for me for i had sent emails and called and gotten nothing. Then after i paid for the return shipping, they have not sent anything back for weeks and i have not heard from them. I've emailed and called again. Trying to go through newegg again. Never buying anything NZXT again. Waste of $50

Fast

G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) Desktop Memory Model F4-3000C15D-16GVGB
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) Desktop Memory Model F4-3000C15D-16GVGB

Pros: Enable XMP and get the whole power out of them. Never have hit 100% memory on my system (I don't render video so I can't comment on that), but these things work really well, they're fast, and they look nice in my system.

Cons: Nothing specific

Overall Review: Little tall so watch your CPU coolers that like to branch outward over the memory slots.

Great Buy

WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD10EZEX
WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD10EZEX

Pros: Cheap, Reliable, Fast. Pretty much everything I want in a hard drive. It's holding my entire steam library right now which is around 840 GBs, so I might need to go up to 2TB soon.

Cons: I got nothing.

Overall Review: It's just a great buy.

It's so nice

Thermaltake Level 10 GT Snow Edition (VN10006W2N) White and Black SECC / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case with Four Fans - 1 x 200mm side, 1 x 200mm top, 1 x 200mm front, 1 x 140mm rear
Thermaltake Level 10 GT Snow Edition (VN10006W2N) White and Black SECC / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case with Four Fans - 1 x 200mm side, 1 x 200mm top, 1 x 200mm front, 1 x 140mm rear

Pros: Looks fantastic Great built-in cooling I love that the side panel is a swinging door with a button Built-in Fan Controller (and different color LED switch) The drive bays and side door lock Lots of USB ports Handle on top works pretty well (be gentle though) Headset stand (best invention ever) Easy cable management, easy installation, the whole thing is just fabulous

Cons: Blue accent strip doesn't have LEDs in it :(

Overall Review: It's pricey, but I love it. Looks wonderful and was probably the easiest build I've ever done

Great Card

EVGA GeForce GTX 970 04G-P4-2974-KR 4GB SC GAMING w/ACX 2.0, Silent Cooling Graphics Card
EVGA GeForce GTX 970 04G-P4-2974-KR 4GB SC GAMING w/ACX 2.0, Silent Cooling Graphics Card

Pros: I own a little over 200 games on my computer, and not a single one has encountered anything under 60FPS on max settings. Things like The Witcher 3, Overwatch, The new Mirror's Edge, Battlefield, the new Skyrim, etc. Keeps itself *decently* cool Lots of support for displays, got 2 monitors (1 DVI, 1 Displayport) and a TV on HDMI all going at the same time. The bits of blue accent my color scheme

Cons: Running under extreme load for extended periods of time, the card gets just over 100 degree F. Not a big deal, but I like to keep my GPUs generally under 100. If I was concerned I could add more fans or put a waterblock on this.

Overall Review: Now, I think the 1070 (not the founders edition) is pretty similar in price, so I'd go buy one of those just for the boost in performance, but this card is a good one.
