G.SKILL NS Series 4GB DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C11S-4GNS
G.SKILL NS Series 4GB DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C11S-4GNS

Pros: - Havent' had a problem with it

Cons: - None

Overall Review: Used in a build for a local organization's office PC. Only needed 4GB, as they did nothing beyond MS Office and basic programs. If you plan on doing anything beyond standard PC usage, like rendering or gaming, get 8GB, or 2 of these if thats cheaper than 2x4GB DDR3 1600

Rosewill PHOTON Series 750W Full Modular Gaming Power Supply, 80 PLUS Gold Certified, Single +12V Rail, SLI & Crossfire Ready - Photon-750

Pros: - Modular = best - Never had a problem since Day 1 - Way more power than even 4 way SLi/Crossfire will ever need (with adapters)

Cons: - None

Overall Review: I don't care what system you think you're putting together. Let's put it this way. Here is my system's specs: - Intel Core i7 4790K OC @ 4.8GHZ - 16GB DDR3 2133 RAM - 512 GB ADATA SX900 SSD (C:\ drive) - 1TB Seagate Barracuda Hard drive (Backup) - 2x4TB WD Black Scorpio in RAID 0 (8TB) - Asus GTX 980 Ti 6GB GPU - Asus Maximus 7 Hero ATX Motherboard - Corsair H110 240mm Liquid Cooler With stress tests and everything near maxed, I don't pull over 350w from the wall. Don't ever buy these ridiculously high wattage PSUs. You are wasting your money.

Powerful

ASUS GeForce GTX 980 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Graphics Card STRIX-GTX980-DC2OC-4GD5
ASUS GeForce GTX 980 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Graphics Card STRIX-GTX980-DC2OC-4GD5

Pros: - Its the 2nd most powerful GPU I've ever owned. - In terms of processing power, never had an issue

Cons: - My only complaint isn't related to the unit. The GTX 980 in my rig did not have enough RAM (Can you believe it?) to run max graphics GTA V at 1440p above 30 frames. 1080p runs perfectly fine between 45-60. I was asking alot for high end gaming at 2K with 4GB RAM, so I am not docking a point.

So cold

CORSAIR Hydro Series H110 Extreme Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 280mm (CW-9060014-WW)

Pros: - Silent. - Included fans also near silent

Cons: - Like most CPU Water Coolers, its a bit of a chore to install on your board PROPERLY, specifically to the case itself.
