FAST !!!

AMD Ryzen 9 3rd Gen - RYZEN 9 3900X Matisse (Zen 2) 12-Core 3.8 GHz (4.6 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 105W 100-100000023BOX Desktop Processor
AMD Ryzen 9 3rd Gen - RYZEN 9 3900X Matisse (Zen 2) 12-Core 3.8 GHz (4.6 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 105W 100-100000023BOX Desktop Processor

Pros: I ran some tests after installing the 3900X & where my previous (cpu i5-6600K ) was hitting near 100% in , the new 3900X was barely sweating it at ~ 30% usage. Great speeds - very fast

Cons: -hard to find to purchase . -fan speeds on the wraith cooler keep cycling up & down repeatedly , but I think this is BIOS issues with all the new X570 boards./cpu

Overall Review: definitely worth the price. Solid buy

bad mouse / cool looks

CM Storm Devastator - LED Gaming Keyboard & Mouse Combo (Green LED Model)
CM Storm Devastator - LED Gaming Keyboard & Mouse Combo (Green LED Model)

Pros: Very nice looks - bright green lighting - very "TRON-esque" feel to it I would give it a 2 -1/2 out of 5 , because the keyboard is still working OK.

Cons: Only 2 weeks of use from XMAS time and the mouse has developed a very loud squeaking noise from the scroll wheel... Sounds like a grocery cart wheel ! - Which also makes any text being read jitter up & down , so the scroll wheel is obviously defective. Now I didn't go into this unit with blinders on - I realize it is a very cheap KB/ Mouse combo unit - BUT- on the same hand, it is from CoolerMaster and I fully expected a little better product than 2 weeks worth of use before giving it up. I am now reading all the other reviews, that weren't up at the time of my purchase, about the very same thing. I am seeing 4 other reviews/ complaints about scroll wheel squeaking between 2 wks.- 30 days. CoolerMaster & Newegg might want to get together on the matter ( recall , version 2.0 .etc.. )

Overall Review: *SIDE NOTE* - Newegg gave me a slight bit of hassle about this too. I did a live chat ( which I waiting 20 minutes on hold for ) so I could explain the issue to the rep. -of which I was told 'Sorry, this is passed the 30 day return' - by 2 days !!! - I had to do a short bit of arguing the matter back & forth several times to get the 'Managers' approval for an exchange . A little disappointed in Newegg's stance during the holidays about extended returns on purchases ( Like almost every store has ) I shouldn't have had to argue about this matter , especially concerning it was only less than $30..... I will have to send it off first, then wait a week or 2 to get a new one back .

cheap quality

Fractal Design Focus G Petrol Blue ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Fractal Design Focus G Petrol Blue ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: quality feel quality paint finish quality interior edges, etc. included 2 fans

Cons: dust filters are not easily removed for cleaning

Overall Review: For this price, it is hard to knock the case for anything. It was packed well , the feel overall is nice. The paint was nice & glossy . The interior edges didn't slice my hands all up like other cheap cases do... It has great amount of filters on every hole, I wish the dust filters were easier to remove for blowing out but.... overall pretty nice case for budget builder.

SSD speed

Pros: SSD speed cheap booted right up reviewed well

Cons: none yet

Overall Review: I took a chance buying this brand due to reviews,.. so I hope it holds up as good as expected. It was recognized right away & took the win 10 install very quickly. Windows boots up very fast . Everything seems good.

powerfull w/ graphics

AMD Ryzen 5 5600G - Ryzen 5 5000 G-Series Cezanne (Zen 3) 6-Core 3.9 GHz Socket AM4 65W AMD Radeon Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000252BOX

Pros: fast built in graphics great price comes w/ nice fan cooler too

Cons: none yet

Overall Review: I've been building systems for years with AMD processors and haven't been let down yet. I look forward to this being just as good , with it's built in graphics. It is great for building budget systems for people who barely game . The included Wraith cooler was quieter and stronger than I expected..... & this cooler had much better screw in holders instead of the push-pin type .

NEVER ARRIVED

At first they were quick to respond to order details, but when it became apparent the item was never going to get to me - nothing has been done about it yet. My money still has NOT been returned nor a product . Now I also have to file a claim with Newegg for C.S. assistance . Very disappointed.

problem solved

The item showed up in great looking shape, despite it being label as a "B" grade refurb. I was impressed by screen quality - no scratches nor dead pixels., but i soon learned that the wifi was not working at all. Their email responses were pretty quick and easy to understand. They did NOT sound like the usual "canned" responses you normally get at places. They set up a quick/ easy return and exchanged it for a working model right away. All during the Christmas holiday time periods made it more impressive. I gave them a 4-star rating, only because the laptop should have been checked before sending out to a customer in the 1st place., Otherwise it would have been a 5 .
