Most Critical Review

Window What!

Microsoft Windows 8 64-bit (Full Version)
Microsoft Windows 8 64-bit (Full Version)

Pros: Price! Easy to install!

Cons: 45 minutes to figure how the (u know what) to navigate through tiles......worthless on a computer!!!!!! Could not change weather to local on tiles had to look at London weather. Nothing against London, fine people, but not concerned about their weather every day!!! REALLY MicroSoft..this is supposed to be a more user friendly OS.........someone smoking crack............

Overall Review: Once I got out of tiles and to a desk top.....hey its windows 7.... no wonder they are selling it so D_A_M-N cheap.....

Pros: EVGA continues to make great equipment and PSs. I continue to like the modular designed PS to minimize unnecessary cables in my builds. This PS was no exception. Gold energy rated as well+++.

Overall Review: I would recommend and would repurchase this PS if the need arises. Thank you EVGA!!

Twice was the charm

ASUS TUF GAMING A620M-PLUS WiFi AMD AM5 Ryzen7000 microATX gaming motherboard DDR5, PCIe 4.0, 2xM.2 slots,2.5Gb Ethernet,Wi-Fi 6, 2 x DisplayPort, HDMI, USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, front USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type C

Pros: Once I was able to complete, the BIOS was easy to update on second board as I was installing 8700 series Ryzen 5 CPU (first not so much). Newegg was great at getting 1st board RMAd. This board has a lot of great features. Installation and operation of MB went very smoothly. I always have good luck with ASUS. Count the RMA off as a one off

Cons: Trouble shooting was a bit of hassle. ASUS support was knowledgeable but limited on options. Update motherboard before installing CPU and RAM. This may have been issue with first board, but directions were vague.

Overall Review: I would recommend and reorder this MB again if needed. Overall quality was good to great. Again, an RMA appears to be a one off.

First SSD

SAMSUNG 840 Series 2.5" 250GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TD250KW
SAMSUNG 840 Series 2.5" 250GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TD250KW

Pros: Sweet mother.......it is fast!!! Installed Windows 7 in 10-15 minutes......

Cons: So far nothing!!

Overall Review: I understand this SSD does not have highest read/write rates, but it was incrediable!! I did not have reason to use any software to mirrow over a drive, so I can not comment on this.
