A Nice Mid-Range Card

ASUS Radeon R7 250X 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card R7250X-2GD5
ASUS Radeon R7 250X 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card R7250X-2GD5

Pros: -Reasonable price for the specs. -Runs games like Battlefield 3 at acceptable settings -Supports multiple DVI monitors -Fits into even the smallest of desktop cases -Drivers are easily installed (includes tweaking and adjusting software stock)

Cons: -Slows down running newer games at max resolution and graphic qualities. -Either is not strong enough for PhysX (even from games over 5 years old), or isn't compatible. -Some older games may stutter depending on developer-proprietary settings.

Overall Review: In terms of the price, don't expect to be playing things like Battlefield 4 and Titanfall on max ultra settings, though it will run them nonetheless. For the price, it is well worth what you get. For the gamer who either is switching from console to PC, or the budget minded gamer, this card will do what you want. If you already have a good graphics card, and are looking for a replacement, this may or may not fit you, depending on what you want to play, and how well you want to play them. In short, I would recommend it to gamers on a budget, it'll do what you want just fine.

Good Internet for a very low price

TP-LINK TL-WN722N Wireless N150 High Gain USB Adapter, 150Mbps, w/4 dBi High Gain Detachable Antenna, IEEE 802.11b/g/n, WEP, WPA/WPA2
TP-LINK TL-WN722N Wireless N150 High Gain USB Adapter, 150Mbps, w/4 dBi High Gain Detachable Antenna, IEEE 802.11b/g/n, WEP, WPA/WPA2

Pros: -Extremely low price for what you get -Easy to setup -Keeps constant and strong connection -Aesthetically pleasing when plugged in

Cons: -Drivers can be annoying (includes proprietary startup software that is not easily turned off)

Overall Review: The only big problem with this adapter is the software that runs it. The connection manager included will open on startup and that can be annoying, especially seeing as there is no easy to see way to turn it off. Windows comes with a fine wireless connection manager, you don't need to give us another one TP-Link.

Thermaltake TR2 TR-600 Power Supply

Thermaltake TR2 TR-600 600 W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply
Thermaltake TR2 TR-600 600 W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply

Pros: -Easy to setup -Lots of cables for whatever you need to power (if you have multiple hard drives/dvd drives, graphics cards, you'll be fine) -Includes older cables for drives that do not use SATA -Powerful for the price -Rebate included

Cons: -Manual could be a little more clear about region voltage settings (had to consult the internet about default) -Cables that aren't being used (I only needed about three out of the maybe nine or ten included) cannot be disconnected (better have a large case to hold any excess cables you don't use, which most people will find is a lot)

Overall Review: This is a great power supply for the price, and you will have plenty of connection cables for whatever you want to run. However, unless you plan on using all of the 12+ cables included, or have a large case to store excess cables, you may want to look at something else.

HGST Travelstar 500GB

HGST Travelstar 0S02858 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3Gb/s 2.5" Internal Notebook Hard Drive Retail Kit

Pros: Price is good for the storage. Runs pretty well (for the most part, see below). Faster because of RPM upgrade.

Cons: Requires some tricky maneuvers to get it set up (although that may just be my 5 year old ASUS running windows 7)

Overall Review: Basically this is a dice throw depending on your computer/age. If you have a newer laptop and know alot about partitioning and windows this will be a breezy upgrade. If your a newbie to this kind of stuff, and even if you have more experience than the average person, this may be more hassle than its worth. After installing Windows 7 about 3 times on this, windows wouldn't boot without the CD for a couple days, then magically booted by itself. After using my laptop daily for the past 2 weeks I can say it feels like my old one, with a couple speed improvements and of course the extra GB's of space. In one sentence, buy if your on a decent budget and have a computer less than 3 years old thats used to running windows 7, otherwise, its a gamble.
