Pros: Free Works with Windows 7 without driver download Works with Apple Magic mouse and Apple keyboard

Cons: None

Pros: +Very fast +Decent price, but there are cheaper

Cons: -Destructive firmware even with the release of 1.4. Can't update the firmware if the Vertex is the boot drive.

Overall Review: I have crucial M4's in my other systems. Performance of those are great for a cheaper price AND the firmware updates not destructive.

Pros: Use your existing RAM, GPU and SSD Coming from 9700K to 12700KF and this MB was expecting 10-20% improvement. It is about double. Wired LAN speeds are insane.

Cons: Wireless kinda isn't good. Was hoping to drop the LAN cable but man no gonna happen.

Overall Review: Yes. Get it on sale and skip DDR5 for now. I paired with I7...but maybe save money and go with I5.

Pros: Great touchpad that actually makes Windows 8 fun to use. I am using it for a HTPC mouse.

Cons: -None

Overall Review: Usually, I don't buy Logitech products because their costumer support is horrible and their products have a tendency to flame out early. Hopefully, I don't have to engage with the disaster that is Logitech costumer support.

Pros: +Works with IB I7 +Very quiet

Cons: -For some reason I had a bit of a hard time installing this. i.e I mounted the motherboard first then I read the cooler direction, so I had to go back and remove the MB -It is SUPER ugly. Form following function right?!

Overall Review: I only used one fan and the thermal paste that came with this. It keeps the processor cool and is very quiet.

Pros: I got this case and I thought it was a little big. After building the system I am very impressed with how easy it was to install and how quiet it is. Very pleased with this purchase

Cons: None

Overall Review: +Plenty of space to build a powerful system +Looks very nice +Usually I hate LED but the front LEDs were actually pretty cool to look at.
