Pros: Easy installation, as always. Not a whole to say here. It's an Intel chip, so you expect it to be stellar, and it is. Overclocking capability, which is nice. Able to overclock without much extra heat (maybe 5-10 degrees celcius). Runs cool, at around 29-35 degrees, overclocked to 3.8 Ghz. Really good investment. Can't say much about the built in graphics, as I use a stand alone GPU.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: On paper and benchmarks, the difference between this chip and it's i5 counterpart doesn't appear to be that different. I can tell you from experience (I've owned both) that this chip vastly outperforms the i5 from the same generation of chips.

Pros: Provides my computer with power...that's about it.

Cons: I have used Rosewill products in the past with very few issues, but I have had issues with this power supply since it's unboxing. At first, I couldn't get the pc to turn on. After some "tinkering" I was able to get the PSU to work. Once it finally fired up for the first time, there was a loud clicking noise coming from inside the unit. After investigating, I found a loose piece of what looked like shrink wrap inside. I removed this with a set of tweezers, and that cut down on some of the noise. The fan is still very loud at times. By the time I made up my mind that I should RMA, it was too late. I have been having sporadic power issues (restarts, drives not being recognized, random freezes and hangs).

Overall Review: Overall, I believe that Rosewill is a good company, but I was very dissatisfied with this PSU. For $189.00 I expected more...a lot more.

Pros: Very clean installation. The modular design is a great improvement over the "standard" cord configuration that comes on non-modular PSU's. This replaced an 850W 80+ standard rating PSU, and it does just fine. I was actually surprised that I could drop 200W and still get the same performance. At $119.00, the price is really reasonable for what you get with this unit. Overall, I am very glad I chose Corsair.

Cons: None so far. I have only had this unit for a few days, so we will see. I am not one to just sit around and "wait" for things to fail. So, don't expect to hear back from me on this.

Overall Review: I was up in the air over several different manufacturers. I'm glad I chose Corsair. Their build quality and attention to detail seems to be very visible in the products they deliver.

Pros: Cool design. Cooler Master makes great products. Great price point for this product. I have my i7 2600K overclocked to 3.8 Ghz, and it runs between 32-40 degrees under continuous heavy loads.

Cons: Overall a great product. There are 2 reasons I docked this product an egg. First, and this may partly be my fault, but the way that I had to orient the unit in my case made it block one of my memory slots. Not a big deal since I only use 2 modules, I just used slots 2 and 4 instead of 1 and 3. Second, no matter how tight i get the screws, I can still torque the cooler back and forth, which is a little unnerving. It takes a moderate amount of torque, but it moves, and that just makes me uneasy. Hasn't caused a problem so far, as you see above, it still cools fine.

Overall Review: Overall, easy to install, and a great buy at this price point.

Pros: Good solid board. For the price, it would be hard to beat the features that you get with this one. The GUI based BIOS is nice too.

Cons: MSI update software is slow with certain 3rd party downloads.. This is a REALLY nice feature, but the download speeds for some of the drivers are unrealistically long. It would be quicker to just go to the manufacture website for download.

Overall Review: All-in-All this is a good board, and for the money, is plenty fast, and reliable.

Pros: Very fast and reliable memory. Don't let the 1333 speed fool you, this memory has great latency time and is very very stable. I have had my system running for almost a month now, with only having to let it sleep, and the system is yet to lock up. GREAT VALUE.

Cons: Not really a con, but I had to change a setting on my MOBO to get the memory to clock right. One little change and bingo, running at advertised speeds and latencies.
