CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Memory Kit Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9R
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Memory Kit Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9R

Pros: Super fast, it's noticeable for sure. Bought these for a new budget build and along with my i5-2500k I'm getting BLAZING speeds. Worth the price for sure

Cons: They are HUGE. When I get a heatsink I'm going to definitely watch to make sure that it will fit with these things. Didn't take anything off because I knew they were going to be large, didn't think they would be this big though haha.

Overall Review: Make sure they will fit, they're big boys.

Antec One Hundred Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Antec One Hundred Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Great case for the price, seems pretty solid, a LITTLE flimsy but doesn't feel like it would come apart like some cases I've seen.

Cons: The back kinda sucks, but oh well, I knew about not being able to put the expansion slots back on again after use so I'm not going to dock an egg but... I don't see why they had to make them irreplaceable. My mobo is BARELY missing my top fan right now, less than a millimeter, it's annoying as hell but oh well, only major problem it gave me was screwing in my mobo. The only reason I'm taking off an egg since I was aware of my other two cons and they aren't that troublesome is cable management, especially with the preinstalled fans, I had to shove there cables to the side and somehow managed to get them behind my mobo.

Overall Review: Greatgreatgreat case for the price, only major problem I had was with Cable management but it wasn't a big deal, especially since no one will be seeing inside.

Hitachi GST Deskstar 7K1000.D HDS721075DLE630 (0F13179) 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Hitachi GST Deskstar 7K1000.D HDS721075DLE630 (0F13179) 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Seems pretty fast, I got it on sale for 70$, with all the flooding and the lack of hard drives it was a pretty great deal.

Cons: Only con I have, and I'm not sure if it was this drive or something else, although I think it was the hard drive. It made a REALLY high pitched and loud noise, it gave both me and my friend massive head aches after we installed it. After leaving it on for a night it seemed to go away and I haven't had a problem with it since. 1 egg because of the sound, wasn't a big deal but I almost RMAed it, and would have if my friend hadn't told me to keep it for the weekend, just to make sure.

Overall Review: Great drive, I'm loving it. I bought it for a budget build, happens to be my first build as well. I'm hoping the noise it made when I got it wasn't something serious, but so far after about 2 weeks of use nothing bad has happened.
