Works great
Pros: Around 60+fps on every game at max i've tried except crysis(35-50fps).
Cons: Not really a con but this was my first build so i had to figure out that the screen tearing i got when i moved really fast in games was because of the vsync settings. Adaptive vsync is the best for any other new guys out there. Vsync off gives highest fps but depending on the monitor you'll get screen tearing.
Overall Review: BF3 60+ fps
Pros: 1) Great value 2) Fast computer 3) Solid case with lights 4) Fan Controllers 5) Good for 1st gaming computer 6) Comes with windows 10 CD to restore if something happens
Cons: 1) Could use better instructions and specifications in the box.
Overall Review: The only con i have is that the box should include all the features in the computer because this is something you would buy for someone as their first gaming computer so they could use the information. For example in the picture above the power button there are two white pieces that can be taken off and slide and there is another connection there but it doesn't say what it is for on this page or in the box.
Awesome
Pros: Works great and is fast 7.6/7.9 on windows experience index. The processor in my 4-5 year old laptop was like 3.2/5.9.
Cons: Not really a con but these cpus run hotter than most but they are also rated to go withstand higher temps. The max is 105C. I think older cpus are 95C or 90C.
Overall Review: I haven't overclocked it yet because this is my first computer so i wanted to make sure everything else works fine in case something goes wrong when i overclock so i can see if its because i overclocked or something else. Also its really hot where i am right now 80-95 degrees these last few months so im going to wait until fall to overclock. Im sure it won't make a big difference but just to be safe, besides i don't really need the extra speed right now. I have gtx 670 so i get around 60fps+ on all the games i play(except crysis) so no need. But my temps are 30-40C with the Noctua-d14 cooler. Its usually 35C, one time they were 50-60C idk why cause i wasn't doing anything different. But based on everyone's review i have decent one of these cpus. Except for that guy who gets same temps as me but overclocked 0_0.
Works great
Pros: Seems reliable (3 months of use so far) Good amount of space for an ssd FAST
Cons: Have to change where some things download and install if you want to save space.
Overall Review: Works great, i have windows 7,firefox,itunes (songs in different drive),Pinnacle studio 15, and other things that windows 7 installs automatically on it and i have about 58gb out of 111 remaining. I limit the updates tho because they take up space and rarely do anything to help. The updates so far have taken up 5-6gb. Speed is great i haven't measured the speed on the drive but the programs on it open pretty fast. From when i click the power button to the windows screen to the desktop is 30 secs and i can use it right away without anything having to load.
IDK
Pros: USB 3.0
Cons: My fault but doens't have all the slots i need.
Overall Review: I don't use my camera much so i didn't think about the sd card in it but this doesn't support the sd card in my camera. Make sure to see if it supports what your looking for. I don't use sd cards often so i haven't tested the speed but it works, i put in the standard sd card and it read it.
Nice HDD
Pros: A lot of space for a good price Seems reliable so far (3 months of use so far)
Cons: Goes to sleep when you don't use it for a while
Overall Review: Awesome drive, you get about 1.87tb in total. Everything works great, not slow opening files but only annoyance is that it shuts off or goes to sleep im not sure what you call it. I know a lot of hard drives do this so that it can extend the life of the drive since its not doing anything. But this is my first drive that does it. I have windows 7 on an ssd so if your going to put windows 7 on this drive you shouldn't have this problem since windows should be on constantly. Im not certain tho. Other than that its awesome.
