Good Budget Board
Pros: -Budget Friendly -Solid construction and workmanship -Meets my needs, and 2 fan headers is nice for a board this cheap.
Cons: -None so far
Overall Review: Was wanting to buy a Gigabyte board but was sold out on the one I wanted so I decided to give Asrock a try. This is replacing a MSI board that didn't last thru the year. I will put Asrock in my list of top Mobo makers along my favorites Gigabyte and Biostar. A good, solid budget board--I don't need flashing LED and RGB lighting. Used in build: -I5 7500 -1 stick Gskill Aegis DDR4 2400 8GB -GTX 1060 3GB -Sandisk 240 gb SSD -WD 1Tb HD -EVGA 500w PS -Coolermaster N200 Case
BAD budget case
Pros: Includes 3 120mm fans, the rear fan is a 3pin connection and the front 2 fans are molex connection. Includes additional hardware like thumb screws, screws, and stand-offs (6 stand-offs are pre installed).
Cons: 2 of the 6 MoBo stand offs are stripped out on both sides (going into case and motherboard screw holes also). This is a POORLY made case! Now after a few months the front audio panel is bad. I have now replaced it with a Deepcool Tesseract, if you want a budget case please get the Deepcool or another case. DO NOT BUY THE ZALMAN Z1 NEO!!! I have been building PC's for 20 years, I know what I am doing, and I know incorrectly machined parts when I see them. Poor quality control used by Zalman. Apparently there is a bad lot of these cases out in the wild, so if you want to risk it, by all means buy this case, OR you can spend $10.00 less and buy a quality case from another company.
Overall Review: I had high hopes for this case but I will be looking for another brand next time.
New 3TB-All Good
Pros: New (old stock), unused 3TB hdd works perfectly. New 3TB drive for 44 bucks! Drive is quiet and pretty quick (seems quick compared to my 1TB Blue WD)
Cons: Nope
Overall Review: Very good hard drive and goHardDrive has been a good seller. There is another review that says it's loud, the one I received is very quiet. My third purchase from goHardDrive and have not been disappointed by their hard drives, will buy from them again.
They Work, Good Seller Too
Pros: -These are the first re-manufactured ink cartridges i've ever had work! -Ink cart. for Canon printer, they worked. -Customer service with Jarbo was good. -Installed properly and printer software shows full ink levels.
Cons: -had slight shipping problem (thanks to USPS >:[ ) :-- not the sellers fault, but I contacted Jarbo and they where quick to respond and help. -slight ink residue on one cartridge,had to wash up after handling.
Overall Review: I will buy Ink from them again.
Awesome CPU
Pros: Great CPU that can do moderate games as well. I paired mine with an RX560 and am having a blast with my games, breeze thru CSGO, Fortnite, Civ 5, MOO (new one), Kerbal, and others. My build is Asrock B450M Pro4, 8 GB DDR4 2666 Gskill Ripjaws V, Sapphire RX 560 OC 4GB, Adata 480GB SSD, Cooler Master Q300L, Thermaltake 500W PSU. I have overclocked to 3.7 with no problem, overclocking is available on this mobo. Stock cooler is working fine with this overclock and with no noticeable increase in sound.
Cons: None considering the price.
Overall Review: Great to build an AMD system again! Pair this CPU with an RX 560 or a GTX 1050 and you got a good little budget build. Drop in an R3 or R5 if and when you choose to upgrade. This build replaces an AMD FX 6200 and I can see the Athlon is much snappier.
Good HDD
Pros: Was delivered as expected and shipping was fast from goharddrive. Cheap mass drive for games to keep SSD free. Performs well, this drive has also been quiet. Manufacture Date was 2011, drive appears new.
Cons: You can spend another $15 or 20.00 dollars for a 1TB drive if you're not on a strict budget.
Overall Review: Used this drive to cut $15-20 from my budget build. 500GB will work just fine for this budget lite gaming PC. Used in Build: Pentium G4560 B250 Gigabyte motherboard 120 GB Adata SSD 8 GB DDR4 2400 Patriot Viper Ram Sapphire RX 560 4GB OC GPU
Absolutely wonderful service! Thank you so much! Highly recommended seller
