Worthless

ASUS Radeon HD 6770 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 Graphics Card EAH6770 DC SL/2DI/1GD5
ASUS Radeon HD 6770 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 Graphics Card EAH6770 DC SL/2DI/1GD5

Pros: Not bad at first, handles just about everything.

Cons: If you have 64bit windows, DO NOT BUY. The ATI drivers do not play well and you WILL hate yourself for getting this card. I have a grey screen of death more than once per day now because of horrendous drivers and software from ATI. I don't have the ability to RMA this card; ATI calls it a "small" problem when it effects ~10% of their cards. Not exactly small. The most they do is RMA and it takes forever. Don't do it to yourself.

Not too bad.

Corsair Vengeance K70 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Red LED - Cherry MX Red Switches
Corsair Vengeance K70 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Red LED - Cherry MX Red Switches

Pros: The keyboard itself is a true mechanical keyboard, and is very easy to type with. The backlight is much better than I would have imagined, and is not crazy bright like most backlit keyboards; paired with the ability to only highlight W, S, A, D and 1-6 (and arrow keys) it makes this almost worth the price. Plug and play works great with Windows 7 x64 professional. Plugged it in and all the hot-keys were working.

Cons: Much bigger than you think it would be. Makes it very easy to get tired typing, which is the exact opposite of what a mechanical keyboard is designed to do. This keyboard does not have the distinctive "click" that most mechanical keyboards are known for, which is really a bummer. That's half the reason why I got this keyboard.

Overall Review: Overall, it's not bad at all; just really not worth the price I paid for it. Realistically, this isn't the type of quality that I would expect from a corsair product.

Amazing!

Pros: Super quiet, very powerful, very cheap.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I switched from ATI to NVIDIA and couldn't be happier. The previous card I had the drivers were so horrendous that I would randomly freeze for absolutely no reason (grey screen of death) especially with HTML5 embedded flash. Multiple RTM and support calls later, I said the heck with it and decided to go NVIDIA. I'm never getting AMD again.

TERRIBLE

Pros: The board is stable, assuming you don't listen to it's prompts.

Cons: I've been using an ASUS Radeon HD 6770 with this motherboard for a while now, and there is an issue somewhere with either the motherboard, or the graphics driver that causes it to totally freeze every so often. It's a TERRIBLE perdiciment which seems to effect thousands of MSI and ASUS, AMD, and ATI customers, however NOTHING has been done about it. I finally updated to the newest graphics drivers today, successfully, however upon reboot I was told that there was a new motherboard BIOS update for my motherboard. Awesome! I downloaded the automated tool which was to be used to automatically flash my BIOS for me, however, it didn't work. A program which was developed, and deployed by MSI to specifically do a single thing, it was unable to accomplish it. As a result I'm forced to FAIL a class that I pay for out of pocket (I'm a college student) because my final project is due in 10 hours and my computer is nothing more than a paper weight until I can get an RMA which can take upwards of 16 WEEKS. I'm so incredibly unhappy with the customer support I've received from AMD, ASUS, and MSI and I will no longer be recommending to anyone that they be purchased. I cannot possibly begin to explain how disappointed I am in this brand.

As expected

COOLER MASTER Silent Pro M600 RS-600-AMBA-D3 600W ATX12V V2.3 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Bronze Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
COOLER MASTER Silent Pro M600 RS-600-AMBA-D3 600W ATX12V V2.3 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Bronze Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: CORDS EVERYWHERE! Which isn't really a pro, but it's definitely not a con. What really set this power supply apart from other's I've purchased is the ability to remove/disconnect the excess cords from the adapter itself, freeing up space within my limited case. Runs cool and quiet.

Cons: None!
