Most Favorable Review

CORSAIR Hydro Series H60 (CW-9060007-WW) High Performance Water / Liquid CPU Cooler. 120mm

Pros: Bought to replace the Intel stock cooler for my i7-4771 and have been fairly impressed. Keeps the processor cool under load and the fan is whisper quiet.

Cons: None, so far.

Logitech LS21 7 Watts RMS (FTC) 2.1 Stereo Speaker System - Black
Logitech LS21 7 Watts RMS (FTC) 2.1 Stereo Speaker System - Black

Pros: None as far as I'm concerned.

Cons: -Quiet -Low Bass

Overall Review: I bought this to replace an ancient Altec Lansing system that I had snagged for something like $30 brand new. I've used Logitech headsets, keyboards, and webcams for years without issue, so I thought this would be a no brainer. I was wrong. I should have checked the wattage of this system before I bought it because this thing is severely under-powered. The sound is unimpressive and the bass is nearly non-existent. If you're looking for a nice, decently loud sound system, don't get this one.

Fantastic!

Intel Core i7-4771 - Core i7 4th Gen Haswell Quad-Core 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1150 84W Intel HD Graphics 4600 Desktop Processor - BX80646I74771
Intel Core i7-4771 - Core i7 4th Gen Haswell Quad-Core 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1150 84W Intel HD Graphics 4600 Desktop Processor - BX80646I74771

Pros: Upgraded from an i5-760 to this, and even though the i5 aged well and was a surprisingly zippy little thing, this processor put it to shame. It chews up and spits out everything I throw at it from 3D Modeling/CAD stuff to heavy gaming to video rendering.

Cons: NOT OVERCLOCKABLE - This isn't really a con, but I've seen a few people complain about not being able to overclock this (even though with turbo boost you can get it to 3.9GHz). If you want to overclock, snag the 4770k.

Overall Review: Even with an AIO cooler my temps still lean a little higher than I would like, but I just chalk that up to losing the silicon lottery. Will probably continue to purchase Intel processors until the end of time lol.

TCELL Poker USB 3.0 Flash Drive 32GB- Ace of Spades(Black)
TCELL Poker USB 3.0 Flash Drive 32GB- Ace of Spades(Black)

Pros: Great, stable little flash drive. Paid about $18 for it.

Cons: The speeds are on par with USB 2.0. I was definitely not getting 3.0 speeds, even when I had it plugged directly into my mobo.

SanDisk Ultra Plus SDSSDHP-128G-G25 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: Snagged this on sale for around $50. Was my first time using an SSD, so I was pleasantly surprised by the speed.

Cons: First one I received was DOA.

Overall Review: Not the fastest SSD on the market and now, for about the same price, you can pick up far superior ones.

Great deal if you can get it on sale!

APB Reloaded PC Game
APB Reloaded PC Game

Pros: Snagged this for about $4 and it was well worth it. Has something like $50 worth of in-game items/redeemables.

Cons: The game itself is not the most stable thing in the world lol.
