Amazing

Canon EOS T4i 18.0 MP CMOS Digital SLR with 18-55mm EF-S IS II Lens
Canon EOS T4i 18.0 MP CMOS Digital SLR with 18-55mm EF-S IS II Lens

Pros: Amazing and I have no regrets buying it. The 18-55mm lens that comes with it works well, but you'll probably find yourself replacing it in the near future, but don't let that stop you from getting the T4i with the lens, it's still nice to have around. If you're just entering photography and you want a high performer for a low cost, buy this DSLR.

Cons: When you're using the touch screen you'll inevitably get smudges on the screen, just keep a microfiber cloth in handy at all times.

Most Critical Review

Eh

Rosewill RHM-556 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Headset
Rosewill RHM-556 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Headset

Pros: They're decent at best. Gets uncomfortable after long use, small ear cups, audio quality isn't amazing, but it's okay, microphone is decent.

Cons: Feels cheap, will break with common usage. Good to use if you're low on money, otherwise get something else.

Update

CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750 W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: The new PSU unit came in, it's working as it should, I have my doubts on how long it'll live though since the original blew up. It took a memory slot & two RAM sticks when it did.<br><br>Giving 3 eggs, look at cons.

Cons: Their customer support is laughable. I contacted them several times, only to be greeted with a notice of them being busy with several other customers. I was told to leave a message, asking to be contacted as soon as possible. It was more than a week and they hadn't contacted me back. I doubt 16 people take a week to help. Don't ever rely on their support to get anything done, how disappointing. <br><br>Corsair, if you claim to care for your customers so much, then make an effort to help them. <br><br>Next time I'm going Seasonic. Update: Jan 11, 2016 Haha are you serious? 3 years later and the thing is already beginning to fault. My PC won't even turn on from time to time unless I flip the switch off and on again, I fear what may come in the near future, definitely never investing in a Corsair product again.

Overall Review: Their PSU is good, but just hope yours won't be defective like mine was. You would think a "top quality" product would prevent damage to other components should it fail, but obviously not. Thankfully my RAM is always under warranty, as is my motherboard.

Great.

GIGABYTE GA-Z87-HD3 LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-Z87-HD3 LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Great mobo. Cheap and does what it is intended to do. Had to RMA one however, the PSU I had bought blew and damaged a DIMM slot, but other than that the mobo has been fully operational and the new one works just as good. would recommend

Cons: None from what I can gather.

Overall Review: They aren't kidding when they say it's durable. For it to survive what it did is amazing.

Good but---

Intel Core i5-4570 - Core i5 4th Gen Haswell Quad-Core 3.2 GHz LGA 1150 84W Intel HD Graphics Desktop Processor - BX80646I54570
Intel Core i5-4570 - Core i5 4th Gen Haswell Quad-Core 3.2 GHz LGA 1150 84W Intel HD Graphics Desktop Processor - BX80646I54570

Pros: It's fast, works well, and does what it should.

Cons: Had to downclock the CPU in the BIOS. Battlefield 3 kept stuttering. Lowered it to 3.1GHz, stuttering disappeared entirely.

Overall Review: Still good.

Wow

ASUS GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5 G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
ASUS GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5 G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: Amazing right out the box. I upgraded from a 5830 to this. Noticeable performance increase? I can run everything on ultra now, with no hiccups. This card takes everything I throw at it, and Phys-x is amazing. Survived my Corsair PSU exploding. Can't say the same for a couple other pieces of hardware

Cons: None as of yet, I'm happy with this.

Overall Review: Running: i5 4570 ASUS 770 8GB of RAM Gigabyte Z87-HD3 Blah blah. Runs around 32c and bumps to mid 50's under load. Very quiet too, quality product.
