Graphics works great.

GIGABYTE GeForce GT 1030 Low Profile D4 2G DirectX 12 GV-N1030D4-2GL Graphics Card
GIGABYTE GeForce GT 1030 Low Profile D4 2G DirectX 12 GV-N1030D4-2GL Graphics Card

Pros: This graphics cards works great for what I use it for. I do not do any gaming though I have seen some use this for their gaming PCs. But there is not lag time or difficulty watching videos online.

Overall Review: Yes I would recommend this graphics card to others. But there is no connectors for the old style VGA monitors.

Board performs great.

Pros: This board performs great. It comes with connections for just about anything you wanted to add to your PC. I had trouble with the computer at first. Some lights lit up on the motherboard which clued me in that it was not get a signal from the TV I was using. So I checked the HDMI cable and it was defective and I had to get another HDMI cable. Most motherboards would not have detected that and gave a warning. It would have taken me hours to trouble shoot something like that. It saved me a lot of time.

Cons: The only thing I did not like about the motherboard is the instruction are not very good for showing which cables connect to different areas of the motherboard. Because of my past experience at building computers I had a pretty good Idea where to connect everything. But if someone has never built a computer before. They may have difficulty figuring out where to connect everything.

Overall Review: The board performs great and I would recommend it to most. But if you are not experienced at building computers you may have trouble following the instructions when it comes to connecting the cables to the motherboard.

Very fast CPU

AMD Ryzen 5 5600 - Ryzen 5 5000 Series Vermeer (Zen 3) 6-Core 3.5 GHz Socket AM4 65W None Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000927BOX

Pros: My old computer was ten years old so very slow. This is definitely an upgrade. It came with the heat sink and cooling fan so I did not have to order anything else. I just put it in the motherboard. Attached the heat sink and CPU and I was ready to go. I have to get used to the speed though. It is a very fast CPU. What surprised me the most is this ships out of China. I ordered products here in the US at the same time and received this a week before I received the products I ordered from the US. The US postal service could learn some things from China when it comes to shipping packages.

Overall Review: I would definitely recommend it to others. I have always liked AMD CPUs.

Ram works great.

Pros: Because of the price I thought I may have problems with this ram. I did not the ram works great and I have no problems with it. I love that it comes with heat sinks attached.

Overall Review: This ram works great I would recommend it to others. It is a very good value.

Wow way more then I expected.

ePOWER EP-600-TD2 600 W ATX12V Power Supply
ePOWER EP-600-TD2 600 W ATX12V Power Supply

Pros: This power supply is very heavy. The weight of a power supply reflects it's quality. It has connectors for just about anything you would want to power even LED lights. I bought a mid tower computer case. So it barely fit. But it performs great.

Cons: The only reason I didn't give it five stars, is because I had to open the power supply up. Some how during manufacturing there was a lose part inside the power supply. I had to open the power supply to remove it. I was a little afraid I may damage it but all went well and the power supply works great.

Overall Review: I would absolutely recommend this power supply but if you but a small computer case this may not fit it because it barely fit my mid tower case.

Better then I expected.

Sama  Jazovo-BK Black USB3.0 Steel  ATX Mid Tower Computer Case, 3 x120mm Black Fan (2 x front, 1x Rear Pre-Installed)
Sama Jazovo-BK Black USB3.0 Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case, 3 x120mm Black Fan (2 x front, 1x Rear Pre-Installed)

Pros: For the price of this case I expected it to be lower quality. It comes with three fans. The fans on the front of the cause draw air from the bottom so I would not recommend putting the computer on carpet it may restrict air flow. But the quality was better then I expected considering the price.

Cons: The metal on the case is a bit thin but more then adequate for my needs. I gave it five stars because I expected the metal to be thinner.

Overall Review: If you are trying to build a budget PC this would be a great case to buy. But there isn't much room for expansion you can only install two hard drives. If you still burn CDs like I do there is only enough room for one DVD burner. But I am very happy with the case.
