Great Mobo!

ASRock ASRock Fatal1ty Gaming Fatal1ty 990FX Killer AM3+/AM3 AMD 990FX + AMD SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Gaming Motherboard
ASRock ASRock Fatal1ty Gaming Fatal1ty 990FX Killer AM3+/AM3 AMD 990FX + AMD SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Gaming Motherboard

Pros: Great motherboard for the price! I purchased this to go with my FX-8320 processor because not every AM3 mobo can use the new 8 core CPU's.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Just wanted to mention that after I hooked the computer all up it kept freezing and restarting on me. I first thought it was the power supply so I replaced that because it wasn't new. It was not the power supply. I then ran memtest 86 on both RAM sticks and the test restarted. I then ran them separate and they worked just fine with no errors. I had placed the RAM in DIMM slots 1 and 3 for dual channel. This was in fact not the correct placement and that was causing my restarts and freezes. READ DIRECTIONS and if you have two of the same sticks put them in DIMMS 2 and 4 as they are priority 1 and 2 over the other slots. I felt really dumb but just wanted to give a heads up. The RAM I used was G-Skill Sniper 1600 8 gig sticks (16 total).

Great Processor!

Pros: Extremely stable processor and I've owned it for almost 8 months now. The stock heatsink saves you a few dollars to invest in another component. I have kept a consistent over clock of 5% with my ASUS mobo and its ran perfect.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Asus ROG STRIX B-450 AMD Ryzen 5 2600x Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 16GB DDR4 3000 Samsung 970 EVO WD Black 1TB Thermaltake 850 RGB PSU Thermaltake View 31 RGB

Corsair Rocks!

Pros: Installed right away on my ASUS sabertooth mobo. I had already purchased 8 gigs of this RAM so I upgraded to 16 gigs. It read it right away at the 1600 speed. Corsair is the only memory I will buy after my issues with a couple of the other memory manufactures.

Cons: None

Pros: AMD SSD met and exceeded my expectations. As soon as I received the SSD I installed windows 8.1 pro and it was done in about 15 to 20 min. I have had it now for about a month and am very happy with the drive. Computer Specs: AMD FX 8320 16 gigs corsair xms 1600 memory 1 TB WD Black HD 240 gig AMD SSD AMD 6870 Graphics Card Corsair 750 Watt PSU

Cons: Only wish I would have got this on sale at the current price!

Great RAM!

G.SKILL Sniper Gaming Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C9D-16GSR
G.SKILL Sniper Gaming Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C9D-16GSR

Pros: Memory worked right away when I plugged it into my motherboard. Going to get 2 more 8 gig sticks in the near future to have 32 total.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Great system memory for the price and Gskill has not let me down for a few new computer builds yet. (knock on wood)

Great Processor

AMD FX-8320 - FX-8000 Series Vishera 8-Core 3.5 GHz (4.0 GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Desktop Processor - FD8320FRHKBOX
AMD FX-8320 - FX-8000 Series Vishera 8-Core 3.5 GHz (4.0 GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Desktop Processor - FD8320FRHKBOX

Pros: I recently upgraded to this processor and am very happy so far. It runs everything I throw at it with ease. You cant beat the price for an 8 core CPU! I did a lot of research before I purchased this processor and it was the best price/performance out of all the other processors on the market today. I was also impressed that the stock heatsink had copper pipes.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Great processor from AMD!
