Nice keyboard

Logitech 920-000969 G19 Keyboard with Color Display
Logitech 920-000969 G19 Keyboard with Color Display

Pros: There's some pre installed apps and whatnot which is nice. It also will display temps from different monitoring programs.

Cons: The drivers were a bit of a pain to install, but that could have easily been user error too.

Most Critical Review

Meh

RAIDMAX Blackstone series RX-700AC 700W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.3 / EPS12V V2.91 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: It works, its modular. Nothing super fancy and it gets the job done.

Cons: Its fairly limited in terms of the amount of rails it has. Kinda have to really plan out how to hook everything up.

Great monitor for great price

LG 25UM56-P 25" Class 21:9 UltraWide IPS Gaming Monitor 2560 x 1080 5ms GTG 60Hz 5,000,000:1 Contrast Ratio with Black Stabilizer and Dynamic Action Link, SRGB Over 99% and 4-Screen Split

Pros: Ultrawide screen, super bright, easy to use.

Cons: The biggest thing I read before I purchased this is that the speakers very often do not work. This isn't a con for me as I have desktop speakers. Just a heads up for others. But honestly, if that the only thing keeping you from buying this monitor, go buy some cheap speakers that will already be an upgrade from any built in speakers.

Overall Review: Other: It can be a bit of a pain the rear end to configure all your games to work with 21:9 ratio but it's not too bad. Everything looks so good!!!

Good entry level chipset

GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3P (rev. 1.0) AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3P (rev. 1.0) AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: It is pretty good for a first pc, but you'll definitely get the itch to upgrade later. Handled everything I put on it pretty well and OC'd my CPU very nicely. My NIC went out after a while (just under a year) but I was wanting to upgrade anyway.

Cons: It didn't line up with the pegs on my case so it didn't have as much support. The bios isn't as user friendly, but as an entry level board it's not a surprise.

Great!!

CORSAIR Hydro Series H80i High Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 120mm
CORSAIR Hydro Series H80i High Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 120mm

Pros: I have an AMD 8350 so the install was so easy a caveman could do it. Idle was about 30C and BF4 on Ultra was about 47C so its pretty sweet.

Cons: It didn't install itself

Gets the job done

COOLER MASTER R4-S2S-124K-GP Silent Case Fan (4-Pack)
COOLER MASTER R4-S2S-124K-GP Silent Case Fan (4-Pack)

Pros: Cheap and there's four in a pack, perfect for getting the job done so you can put more money into other fun stuff.

Cons: They're a little loud and don't move a bunch of air, but you get what you pay for.

Overall Review: Great for a first pc or if you're on a budget and you can upgrade later.
