Pros: Has a dual BIOS system in case of catastrophic failure. Works great with the AMD FX 8120 processor. Runs cool and has plenty of SATA connectors. Supports USB 3.0. Has no issues booting from a solid state drive. Plenty of USB ports to go around and a ps2 port (I still use a ps2 keyboard)

Cons: The software and utilities that come with the Motherboard seem outdated and are hard to understand.

Overall Review: This is my 3rd custom build and this is the best Motherboard I ever had it works how its supposed to, has no post errors or compatibility problems. I tried ECS and ASUS neither worked near as well as this does. This is my first AMD motherboard however so AMD may just work better.

Pros: -The paint job on the unit was very nice -The fan is quiet -Comes with plenty of cables to connect everything

Cons: Terrible coil wine! I have been building computers for almost 15 years and I did not know it was even possible for a power supply to have coil wine. This not only wines but it screams. As you go though in game scenes you get to choose from a variety or sounds for it to make. You get the standard screeching wine, a cool machine gun sounding wine or a phone vibrating in someone's pocket wine. It is loud enough you can hear it through headphones as well. I think the worst part is that I bought 2 of them the first did it right away the second unit seemed fine until after about 3 weeks of use. Do yourself a favor and go with another brand of PSU

Overall Review: Overall, I would recommend going with another PSU manufacturer unless you enjoy the sound of the gates of the coil wine afterlife being opened in your gaming room.

Pros: -Does fit a 320mm GPU as advertised with the preinstalled fans -Compact size while still fitting full sized ATX mobo's -Aesthetically pleasing if you like the gaming oriented look. -Includes a decent number of preinstalled fans and the fans are good quality. -The rear side panel feels solid and not flimsy -Both side panels install easily and feel sturdy -Thumb screws in the side panels and SSD mounts are captive

Cons: -The frame of the case is made of thin metal. You can almost bend the frame with your hands if you are not carful with it. -There is not much room behind the motherboard tray for cable management. -The cable routing gromets are very small and there are no gromets in the ones on the PSU shroud. If you have a mess of cables under the shroud you will see them -The bottom dust filter is made super cheaply, I am not even sure I would call it a dust filter, it is more of a screen that just rests in groves. -The front of the case also lacks what I would consider a proper dust filter as well. It is again more of a screen.

Overall Review: I would consider this a budget case in spite of its premium price tag. I purchased this to replace my Phanteks Enthoo Evolv MATX due to GPU length limitations. I purchased an RTX3080 that was 320mm long which would not allow any fans in that case. I am pleased to say this will in fact fit the 320mm card as advertised without removing any fans. In fact there is still about a half inch before it would touch. Aside from that it does appear everything else fits as expected based on the specs so no complaints there. I have a difficult time understanding the MSRP on this however due to the quality of materials used. Don't get me wrong it looks okay enough. I just find the frame to be very flimsy and the plastics used to feel thin. I am fairly confident if you pushed slightly too hard while trying to install something the frame would bend or distort on you in some way. Also, it says this has dust filters on it. I would not call anything included a true "dust filter". The mesh is not fine enough to catch anything other than maybe some cat hair. The only filter that is easily removed is the top one all the rest you might as well just hit with the vacuum. I will give them that credit where credit is due also, the rear side panel is sturdy and does not easily bend or deform. The tempered glass panel feels solid as well and looks nice. Overall, I would say this is a very usable case and with a little work you can have a clean looking build in it. Just do not get your expectations up that you will find something innovative or thoughtful as you build in this case as it is very barebones. I find the $89 MSRP to be a little high, if you can get it on sale like I did it is not a bad purchase and will hold some serious hardware. So, in short if this is on a good sale, I would recommend it as a good entry level case.

Pros: The build quality is excellent, metal hinges and sturdy plastic body. The ear cups are deep and the cushioning on them is comfortable even after long periods of use. If you configure your sound card right they sound better than a standard headset even for listening to music, of course these are not going to sound as good as a high end headset as they are best suited for gaming. Speaking of gaming or movie watching they offer a great surround experience that is almost on par with an actual surround system. The microphone is detachable and sounds good for in game chat.

Cons: The biggest problem with these is the headband, it is probably the worst design ever. The cushion is divided into 3 pieces that have just a little padding around the edges. This wouldn't be a problem but the band has a odd angle that makes the plastic edge of the cushion dig into your head. In order to wear this headset for a while you will need to set something under the headband. The other complaint I have is as others may have said there is a slight hiss from the amp in the controller. The hiss isn't bad enough to notice unless it is dead quiet but it shouldn't be there at all.

Overall Review: I am using the integrated sound from my motherboard (it has a 108db signal to noise ratio) using the EQ and some of the other option I was able to get music to sound just fine. Also I wish the cord was about 2 feet longer on the headphone side of the controller.

Pros: This card can play new games with most settings maxed out on a 1080 display and get well over 30 FPS. It runs cool and the fans are quiet even under a full load, I don't even notice the noise over my case fans. Can connect to 3 monitors without needing expensive display port adapters. The drivers support 3D without a 3rd party application even for non-NVIDIA approved monitors. It uses 30 watts less power than my old card when the computer is idling. The card looks nice with a back-plate and metal shroud

Cons: This card is long, it is almost a foot long. I had to modify my case to get it to fit, at least until I can afford a new one. It is quite expensive, it alone probably costs as much as the rest of the components in my computer. When under a load you could use this as a space heater, my whole system draws about 550 watts under load so you can imagine the heat. Non of these cons where worth deducting an egg though they are something to take note of however.

Overall Review: I upgraded to this from a HIS IceQX AMD Radeon HD7770 GHz edition. The performance gains were not as high as I hoped but it was worth the price. Also I do not like the NVIDIA drivers as much as the AMD ones the UI feels a little out of date. System Specs: -AMD FX8120 8-core OC 4.0GHz -Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 Motherboard -8Gb of RAM -NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780GHz -120Gb SSD -500GBHDD -675 watt PSU -ViewSonic 23" 1080p 3D monitor -2 other random monitors I use for productivity tasks

Pros: Absolutely amazing! The screen is crystal clear, has an anti glare finish, and is bright enough to use outdoors. The laptop is made of plastic but feels very sturdy. It's Connectivity is amazing, the on-board WiFi has good range and it has Bluetooth to connect to peripherals and other devices. The instant wake up is very convenient it is ready to use immediately after opening the screen. The battery lasts about 4 hours on balanced mode. It handles basic functions like multi-tab web browsing and word processing very well, and can even do some mid range gaming.

Cons: The graphics memory maxes out at 512Mb even with 8Gb of ram installed

Overall Review: I bought this laptop as an upgrade from an old Toshiba Satellite and I am absolutely thrilled with it. I added another 4Gb ram module and it was very easy, there is one cover to remove on the bottom for accessing the ram, hard drive, and disk drive.

I ordered my item Friday evening with 5-15 day shipping and it arrived the following Monday! Less than 3 days shipping. The product was in the original packaging and in great condition. I am very pleased.
