Best you can get for the Price
Pros: This CPU has the most instructions per cycle for any processor in its price range. The single thread is currently the very best on the market, if you have the money to spend, and don't need six or eight cores for heavily video encoding, you really cant find a faster processor. Best gaming processor in existence at this time, particularly for single core games.
Cons: The 5930k and 5960x are better at multi-threaded tasks
Overall Review: OCed at 4.6ghz on air at 1.146v. max temps while stress testing with Aida64 for 45 minutes were 69c 69c 70c 70c.
I'm Torn on this, You get what you pay for
Pros: Its a 50 inch 4k TV... for a little more than 200 dollars. Really good value, but for a very good reason.
Cons: Inconsistent back-lighting makes the panel appear to have dark vertical bars on the image. This is the most apparent when a single color is being displayed. Fast moving video games (Spider-Man ps4) look pretty good. Darker games (Bloodborne) look great and the vertical lines are almost invisible. Slow paced games (Red Dead 2) look pretty bad, particularly in the snow (one consistent color) the lines are very obvious. Watching the NFL playoffs was rough too (green football field). My panel has a single stuck pixel, but with over 8 million pixels is barely noticeable. The picture customization options are very limited and basic, the power cable does not detach from the panel (lol).
Overall Review: I would not purchase this panel again. IMO it is worth a couple hundred dollars more to have something that doesn't jerk me out of the experience whenever a scene is mono-colored. My one buddy says that this TV is perfect for a hotel lobby and recommended I give it 2 eggs. I think because the price is so low it can get 3 eggs. The bottom line is that these panels are cheap for a reason and if you want better quality you will need to spend a bit more money.
Not worth the asking price
Pros: Stand-offs come pre-installed, this is always appreciated. Drive bays support 2.5 inch solid state drives. Bottom mounted power supply. Nice looking case, enough room in side, yet compact.
Cons: Cable management is pretty disappointing, particularly there is no where to run the CPU power cable but over the motherboard, no option to run it behind the board, which is pretty ugly. There is only room for one fan in the front of the case, because the 5.25 inch drives and the drive bay obstruct the area. The feet are a hard plastic instead of rubber, which feels cheap and slides on non-carpet floors, and the case just feels cheap overall, like the panels will bend if you lean on them wrong. I think the case is not worth the 65 USD asking price. The NZXT source 210 is a much better product, but they don't make them any more.
Overall Review: I don't think I will be purchasing another one of these.
Fast, really fast.
Pros: Destroys just about any game at 1080p. Max temps around 73C in a H440 which are notoriously hot cases. Also, the fans haven't gone above 900RPM on the default fan curve, so you could adjust this to be more aggressive if you want. The build quality is top notch, heavier duty than the gtx 770s I upgraded from. Plays DOOM at 150 fps on max. 8GB of video memory is over kill and a nice feature. Really, unbelievably fast. Impressed with the Pascal architecture.
Cons: Really expensive too. Good luck finding one for the suggested MSRP. Also, I can take or leave the LEDS. But you can turn them off if you want, so not really a con, just a matter of personal taste.
Overall Review: Always happy with EVGA, good quality cards. I also have not encountered any coil whine like some people have mentioned. So, I guess your mileage may vary in terms of noise from the fans.
Failed After 1 Year
Pros: Cheap price, serves well as a boot drive so long as it works.
Cons: Died after 1 year, taking some important files down with it.
Overall Review: Apparently the cheap SandForce controller is part of the problem. But I will be doing more research before I buy an SSD next time.
Excellent Case, Very happy with NZXT
Pros: I love almost everything about this case. The case is well built, the steel feels high quality. But the most impressive are the small details. The stand-offs are pre-installed, and are perfectly straight, so you will feel no resistance when installing a motherboard. Cable management was obviously a major factor in the design of the case, because when you are finished no unnecessary cables will show. The top panel and front panel of the case have NO WIRES, because there are electrical contacts, so you don't need to struggle with short wires. The dust filter attaches with magnets. All of the case fans connect to a small hub on the back of the motherboard panel so no unnecessary wires are in view. Looks stylish yet professional, a lot of thought went into the design and it shows.
Cons: I had some heating issues in my first build with this case. I have 2 gtx 770s in sli and a 4790k using a corsair H-50. Initially I had the front three fans pulling are in, the h-50 in stalled in the rear exhaust pulling air in and the top two 140mm fans performing exhaust duties (because hot air rises, right?). My GPUs hit 89 degrees after 30 minutes of Far Cry 4. Right now the most successful configuration is installing the h-50 radiator in the front of the case and having the rear and top 140mm fans performing exhaust duties. With this set up, the 4790k will occasionally reach 58c but the gtx 770s never get above 78c and 70c (top and bottom) For less demanding games like Fallout 4, the CPU goes no higher than 50c and the 770s stay at 66c and 58c.
Overall Review: If you plan to using multiple cards with this case, invest in a good water cooler and install it in the front of the case.
