Great CPU for the money

AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0 GHz (4.2 GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W FD8350FRHKBOX Desktop Processor

Pros: Have had this for quite some time now and I am extremely impressed with it so far. It runs great and it does everything I want it do very very well. I am very pleased with it. Easy to over clock and temperatures are alright as well.

Cons: Stock fan is mediocre. Not much to expect so I don't recommend using it. Would be nice to see them not bother including them since no one ever uses them anyways.

Overall Review: Great CPU for the money, don't bother with stock cooler though.

Decent power supply

CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 650W ATX12V/EPS12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC High Performance Power Supply

Pros: It is a decent power supply so far. It is stable when it is on and can be quite when it wants to be.

Cons: Majority of the time when it is running, the fan makes an irritating whiring or whining sound that ticks me off. I am obsessed with things being quite so it does bother me quite a bit. I am considering replacing it because of this. The sleeving isn't the greatest quality and I made a big mistake buying a non modular power supply. Useless cables are sitting in the case. I will not deduct an egg for that however.

Great product for the price

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151

Pros: I installed this on my first computer build (typically built for gaming). I am very impressed with it so far. it is not loud at all. So far so good.

Cons: It was a little difficult to install but when it was on it was good. I didn't use their thermal paste so i can't say anything about that.

Overall Review: Overall pretty darn good considering the low price point. Always the option of adding another fan to it.

Great RAM so far

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBXL
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBXL

Pros: -Looks pretty cool -Easy install -Runs well so far

Cons: -Nothing that I can think of at all -Only thing with 1866 and higher is you have to go into bios to set it at 1866, not really a con at all though.

Overall Review: Will definitely be purchasing another 8gb in the near future.
