Perfect CPU for Gaming

Intel Core i5-3570K - Core i5 3rd Gen Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Intel HD Graphics 4000 Desktop Processor - BX80637I53570K

Pros: Run mine OC'd at 4.2Ghz. With an aftermarket cooler I'v never seen it go above 45C. Its fast and affordable.

Cons: None. Its a great CPU.

Great Deal. Great Card

EVGA 02G-P4-2663-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 660 FTW Signature 2 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: Great price for the preformance it gives. Used the card for almost 18 months now, and ran most modern games on highest settings in the 40- 50 fps range. (Titanfall, Skyrim, COD: Ghosts, WoW, SC2, Diablo 3, LoL, etc) Would suggest for a gamer who focuses on non-fps MMO's, like World of Warcraft or League of Legends, it will allow you to play on high settings with no issues in FPS for a very nice price. No Heat issues, and supports 2 Monitors like a breeze.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: When I first purchased the card the fan was making an odd ticking noise, as if it were knicking the side of the fan case. Ended up being the static plastic that is applied normally on the exterior of things, on the actual fan blades. Have never seen that before, but once removed never heard from the fan again.

No Issues

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL

Pros: Does what I need it to do (higher end gaming and video). Aesthetically Pleasing.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: On older MOBO's might be a tight fit for the casing around the RAM, but I assume it can be removed.

Perfect Cooler

Cooler Master Hyper T4 - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes

Pros: Have had this cooler for almost a year now, never had any problems whatsoever with it. Running a i5-3570K oc'd at 4.2 ghz, and never have i seen it go above 40*C. Very quiet.

Cons: Reason why I took off one egg; the cooler is very large. And, although i use it in a Mid Tower Case, i would recommend using it in a full tower.

Overall Review: When I was installing, I found an issue with being sure the thermal plate had a good contact with the CPU. The weight of the cooler/heat sink would pull down on the whole apparatus when set vertically up. Didn't cause any problems though.
