The only case to buy
Pros: This Case is amazing, it will hold anything you would want to throw into it. Water Cooling no problem it has plenty of room for it all. For cable management there are plenty of grommets as well as plenty of room on the back side of the mobo tray as well as tie down slots. I got the white case and man it looks so clean and will not be disappointing at all.
Cons: Once you have everything installed it does get a little heavy. not really a con but thought I would mention it. As far as water cooling goes I wish that the top plate for the 5.25 bay so that a you can do push pull config on the radiator. Also I would like to have a fill port hole and built in fan controller would be nice.
just a decent mouse
Pros: The mouse fits my hand well It is a smooth moving mouse fast...
Cons: The DPI increase and decrease on the fly buttons are hard to get a response out of. I literally have to use my pointer finger and take my hand of the mouse and push straight down to change the DPI. At times the mouse will take up to 5 minutes to actually connect to my desktop so I can use it. I have tried with different usb ports and the problem still happens. The software for the mouse is not that great. Takes a little time to figure it out and then when you rebind the keys sometimes it takes a couple of setting saves to get the key rebound. The mouse is very smooth but it just does not feel that fast. Accuracy is a little meh as well, just does not feel as accurate as my old logitech mx518. The buttons on the side of the mouse are not laid out well. some I have to stretch a little to much to hit the button. I do already have big hands and if I have to stretch out to hit the buttons then I feel like the buttons are not laid out as well as they could be. I wish the mouse weight was adjustable.
FAST!!!
Pros: This processor is fast and extremely cool running. The on board graphics are amazing for what they are. Cant run most of the games on high settings but it has the power provide good game play. I have overclocked mine to 4.4 with a custom water loop and wow there is still room for a much higher clock. Right now I have it sitting at stock cause well I am not doing a ton of benchmarking right now.
Cons: The stock air cooler is a joke....
The Perfect Memory
Pros: Fast Overclock able with in a respected amount of latency forgiveness. if you like aesthetics the ram does look pretty =)
Cons: None
Perfect card for me
Pros: This card is a beast not only in size but performance as well. It is quite and does not get extremely hot either. Its accessories are some of the best you can get. The volt probes are perfect for checking the volts on mem or core. This card does it all plus some.
Cons: I wish that it came with a mini DP port to an hdmi port. I wish the mini DP ports were HDMI so that it would carry audio.
Overall Review: If you want a card that can run all your games at the highest settings and give you awesome game play this is it. If you enjoy bench marking then again this card can do it for it. Overclocking this card is easy and you will gain a good amount of performance out of it.
WOW!!!
Pros: Fast Quite The read and write speeds are amazing and when you have it in raid 0 it is blinding how fast boot up and restarts are.
Cons: I wish the sata cables when connected would snap in and not just slide in.
Overall Review: I bought 2 of these for my Ivy Bridge build and wow it is amazing what these can do in raid 0. Installing windows was extremely quick and boot up times are insane. When I reboot it is back up within 10 seconds at most. Once the prices go down I will be purchasing a couple of the 480 gig versions and make those my primary. Games load at a ridiculous amount of time, these things are worth the money!
