A Cheap Solution for Cooling
Pros: - Great Price/Performance. - Pretty easy to install. - Keeps my FX-6300 under 50c.
Cons: - Quite loud. - Can be a bit of a hassle to install in a relatively small case.
Overall Review: Using this with my AMD FX-6300, and it runs great. Averages around 30-35c on idle and never goes above 45c when playing games or using heavy load programs. Though, with the exception that I'm using this in a small case, So air flow isn't that superb.
Capable mATX Motherboard
Pros: - Packed will a lot of features for an inexpensive micro ATX board. - USB 3.0 - Runs surprisingly well with the AMD FX-6300 (3.5-3.8Ghz). - Simple to install - Very capable for the price
Cons: - No SATA 3, but with a hard drive, it's no big deal for me. - Installing a relatively big graphics card will overlap the other PCI-e slot. - For my case, the system fan connector was too far and I had to buy an extension to hook up my case fan.
Overall Review: I bought this motherboard to go with a FX-6300 as a starter, and I'm quite surprised how well it runs. For a 760G chipset, it runs pretty great.
A Great budget GPU
Pros: Small, can fit into a relatively small case. Quiet. Powerful. Bang for your buck.
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: This card has ran every game I have thrown at it. Games like Far Cry 3 And Planetside 2 run well on Medium to High settings. While games like Skyrim run like a breeze on Ultra. I don't have the greatest processor (Intel Pentium Dual-core) but the card runs any game smoothly with it.
