Pros: Decent Price Extremely Fast It's and SSD not a lot to say. Long as it last for a couple years I'll be happy.

Cons: Wish they'd come down in price a bit more. 128gb isn't enough space now a days.

Terrible

Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Mechanical PC Gaming Keyboard– Cherry MX Blue (RZ03-00381900-R3U1)
Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Mechanical PC Gaming Keyboard– Cherry MX Blue (RZ03-00381900-R3U1)

Pros: Looks Good Green light is good Keys are great

Cons: Only worked for 56 days then died. Razers customer service is garabge, I've been without a working keyboard for going on 3 weeks and to boot they are shipping my same keyboard back stating nothing was wrong with it. I tried 6 different computers all of which the keyboard never worked. So i'm about 99% sure I'm getting a broken keyboard back after they "throughly" tested it. When you RMA a device you don't even deal with the RMA group, you have to first go through the tech support line and they forward your email to the RMA group, so that adds another 1-2 days onto a reply back. I think they make nice looking products but there customer service is terrible. I would not recommend them. For 140$ keyboard I expected much more.

As Expected

WD TV Live Media Player WDBHG70000NBK-HESN
WD TV Live Media Player WDBHG70000NBK-HESN

Pros: -Little -Light Weight -Cost -I bought this because I wanted to stream movies from my NAS box to my TV. This has the built in feature to connect to storage devices. Movies have all played. Accepts tons of formats. Quality is great, sound is great. I wish the menu was a little better. It is a little sluggish but it does what I wanted. This $70 dollar box saved me from building an HTPC which would've cost more. Having said that the HTPC menus/options/features would be much greater. BUT I was on a budget and this box works just fine.

Cons: -It does get rather warm, but hasn't overheated or shut off. -Wish the menu was a bit speedier

Nice Card

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 760 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 WindForce 3X 450W Video Card GV-N760OC-4GD
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 760 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 WindForce 3X 450W Video Card GV-N760OC-4GD

Pros: -Stays Cool -4GB Vram - I run 3 monitors and plan to SLI another 760 in the "near" future so thats why I went with 4gb of 2gb. Cost wasn't "that" much different and with Multi monitor it was the better choice -Looks good -Fits fine in my HAF912 (without the HD rack) It may have fit with the rack in but it would've been tight and I have no need for the Rack anyways. Plus not having the rack helps keep better air flow. -Card is really quite, I don't even notice a change even when playing demanding games.

Cons: I don't really have any cons about the card. It is a great mid-range cards, probably the best budget card for the price. the 770 is better if running a single but the price of that is way higher then the 760. Plus like I mentioned in the PROS I plan on SLI'n two 760 which all benchmarks show it to be much better.

Overall Review: I did A LOT of research and went with gigabyte because of all the raves I seen about Customer Service and how quite they are. I'm very glad I picked this card.
