Most Favorable Review

Great for Budget builds.

AMD Athlon X4 740 - Athlon X4 Trinity Quad-Core 3.2 GHz Socket FM2 65W Desktop Processor - AD740XOKHJBOX
AMD Athlon X4 740 - Athlon X4 Trinity Quad-Core 3.2 GHz Socket FM2 65W Desktop Processor - AD740XOKHJBOX

Pros: $80 bucks for a Quadcore 3.2 GHz processor. Although it does lag a bit behind Intel's CPU's but for its price. there is No real complaints. (Comparing $80, to $300) Under Load. my Old Intel Q6600 liked to run at 70c... This Chip Barely goes past 28c under heavy Gaming Sessions, Using the stock cooler+2 6" Case fans for proper Circulation Built on an MSI a78m-E45 Mb. (another budget board), 8 gb of DDr3 Ram by Kingston, and a XFX 7770 Graphics card i repurpised out of my Old Gaming tower. Built myself a New Rig for roughly $400. Everything was Plug and go, didn't have to fight with any settings aside from configuring current Time/Date Don't Laugh. but Built it to run Tera: Rising At max graphic settings, Pulling 78 FPS idling in less crowded areas, 58 in the main Town during Peak hours, and about 40-47 fps while doing Raids/dungeon runs with High effect skills being spammed. Could not ask for more for the cost. Another game. Final Fantasy 14. Another Mmo. Pushes at 73 FPS Idle, and drops down to about 58 while doing any combat/in major cities. Way more then playable on max settings. Haven't tried it out on any Next Gen Shooters aside from Farcry 3 That ran beautifully. up untill surprise Tiger attack XD. Still pulled roughly 60 FPS easly. Oh... Btw. Screen Ratio was on a garbage sharp tv running 1080i (1776x1000 Ratio).

Cons: Didn't know AMD chips where this cheap... No Real Cons unless you are really bent out of shape of lack of an L3 Cache. Still a VERY powerful CPU without it.

Overall Review: 11/10 would buy agian if need be (And will be to build my Gf a proper Pc. she's using my old Intel Quad atm XD)

Most Critical Review

Cheap PSU. However you get what you pay for....

LOGISYS Computer PS575XBK 575W ATX12V SLI Ready   Power Supply
LOGISYS Computer PS575XBK 575W ATX12V SLI Ready Power Supply

Pros: Cheap Price, and What i thought was better built then KenTeks for the cost.

Cons: Lasted 5 months from Purchase Date. New-egg only cover's 30 days, and waiting to hearback from Logisys......

Overall Review: granted it was a $25 PSU (not including shipping). It did work. But i'd prefer something that lasts more then a year. Even with the ACM luck of the Draw. my KenTek that was built in 2014. Is still feeding a power hungry Quad Core Extreme (lol.... old pc)......

Great cheap case.

Rosewill R223-P-BK 120mm Fan ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Rosewill R223-P-BK 120mm Fan ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: For its price ITs amazing, Keeps my rig cool Im usign the giant 120mm fan and its quiet, As for the drive bay Removing the Front plate to insert DVD/cd drives is the best way to do it. (found that out after strugglign to stick it in from the back. (personal revolation, dont build computers after 3am)

Cons: None of the nice lookign Drive bay cd/dvd covers matched up with my drives, had to remove them. Only other con it was shipped in 2 boxes.

Overall Review: for $25 bucks at the time free shipping... Im not goign to say it was a bad buy it wasnt. Ther eis more than enought room insive its carniverous bay not to mention its light. ITs a big case that dosent weight a lot. Loving newegg more and more
