Wonderous

CORSAIR Hydro Series H90 High Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 140mm
CORSAIR Hydro Series H90 High Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 140mm

Pros: -Can't hear it. It's that quiet for me. -Consistently cool CPU at 50. Might make it to 52 on a powerful load. (i7-3820 Sandy Bridge-E) -Very simple to install, especially on a 2011 socket.

Cons: -Tubes don't like being bent excessively at first, but that could also be me being overly gentle with it. -That's it.

Overall Review: Absolutely quiet. I used to play with a laptop on a coling pad that was warping, so it got noisy. Now that I've come out of the dark ages, the silence is sort of unnerving. My CPU usually stays around 50-52 degrees when I'm running almost anything, and from what I understand the i7's can get pretty hot without CPU coolers, so I'm ecstatic about the silence and heat efficiency this has given me and my world! Was extremely easy to install, even for someone like me who had never done a computer build in my life before this. Overall, I'd recommend this or anything similar to anyone who needed a simple, easy-to-install CPU cooler.

First Build Ever

ASUS P9X79 DELUXE LGA 2011 Intel X79 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: -Fast -Reliable -Not exceedingly expensive, considering what you get. -It's Asus, I've yet to have a truly bad experience with their tech.

Cons: -Had a minor issue with posting during the first week where I would have to turn it off then power it up again, but an update in BIOS fixed the issue. (took me a week to find my way around a not-factory-installed OS...)

Overall Review: The only issue I've had with this board in over a month is the post I mentioned above, but again the BIOS update fixed that minor issue. Other than that, this motherboard has exceeded my expectations. Using an i7-3820 Sandy Bridge-E and I've yet to have any issues at all. I would recommend this board to anyone who wants a good, powerful motherboard. With Wi-Fi built-in! Awesome!

It's Thor

Rosewill - THOR V2-W Gaming ATX Full Tower Computer Case White Edition, Supports Up to E-ATX / XL-ATX, Comes with Four Fans

Pros: Size Space available Cable management behind the opposite plate Awesome lighting. Air flow. -Sheer amount of honeycomb vents is very useful.

Cons: Weight when built Irreplaceable metal covers over the optical drive bays.

Overall Review: The Thor is exactly what I thought it would be: big, awesome and extremely heat efficient. My issue with the Thor is the weight, but that was also expected from a computer tower this size. My alternate issue is the irreplaceable metal covers over the optical drive bays, behind the black mesh and dust filter that comes with it. This is a personal issue, however, as I do not really like things that I cannot undo. Overall an excellent tower, has served me well the past month or more, and the HD activity light and power lights are very awesome to see active.

An excellent Monitor

Pros: Excellent Display Perfect size for games like League of Legends and StarCraft II. Enough input ports for almost anything.

Cons: Have no idea, haven't bothered finding any.

Overall Review: This monitor is an excellent choice in my opinion for a gaming setup. The 24" size is perfect for mouse-based games like League and SCII and the screen is great in HD. I currently have the monitor set up with a display port from my tower and an HDMI from my blu-ray player and with audio out I can use my computer speakers to watch blu-ray movies as well. Overall, I'd recommend this screen to anyone as I personally have no complaints about it.
