Pros: -great for beginners -lots of storage space -fits long GPU's -lots of cooling compatibilitys -2 optical drive compartments -nice window view

Cons: -absolutely NO way to route your cables -very hard to make a clean build with this case

Overall Review: If you have OCD or just dont like a dirty looking PC, dont get this case. It is very hard to route cables throughout the entire case, otherwise this case does a great job for beginner builders.

Pros: -gaming compatibility -ability to run at 1600mhz

Cons: -defaults to 1066mhz at first use, but you can easily change in the BIOS.

Overall Review: Does an awesome job with any game i throw at it. I only have 4GB and I have no problems what so ever. Alt-tabbing out of a game happens in a snap and is so much smoother compared to my default factory model of 2GB ram i had.

Pros: Awesome board and great features from Asrock. Asrock customer service is the best.

Cons: -Poor BIOS updates.

Overall Review: keep in note that I used this board for a low end gaming build. I used a Pentium G630 with this and it worked well for months, it wasn't until I wanted to update my CPU that I ran into a problem. I had ordered a i5 3570k only to find out that I had to update BIOS in order for the chip to actually function. So attempted to update BIOS, and I do know i had the right BIOS update, but when i did nothing happened and my board immedietly died. Thankfully to Asrock Customer service I was able to get replaced with a new board, but i had already ordered a brand new Asus Z77 Board along with my i5. This isn't a bad board, but the BIOS update did take a chunk off of that 5 star rating.

Pros: Chip does an outstanding job handling your everyday processes, and it can even power a medium end gaming PC. Pros: -high Ghz -low watt -32nm -Sandy Bridge compatibility -Great Intel features

Cons: none that really gave me a headache. Depending on your cooler you may not have as much of problem with heat as I did, but if you get the right cooler for this chip you wont have any problems.

Overall Review: Paired up with my MSI-R6770 it ran Far Cry 3 at 1080p SSAO at Medium, handled Crysis at 1080p at medium - high settings. and BF3 at 1080p at low-medium settings. I'm the type of gamer that loves eye candy, so I really messed with loads of different settings to get the best looking gaming experience there is with this chip. Some games I ran maxed out (maxed graphics - 1920x1080p) include L4D2, Portal 2, TF2, and League of Legends.
