THe Devil 13 is Back!!

MSI R9 280X GAMING 6GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card - Retail

Pros: This card runs 3d benchmark like a dream. I use afterburner to up the fan speed but that's all. I've ran 3d benchmark a lot over the years with different cards and man this card is true beast!!!! MSI has a wonderful card here and its a lot shorter than my old card. Been kick around about buying a second one to run in SLI mode but I will see in time how well this one card does first given time. Truly awesome video card though!!! BF4 is the game I play. Screen name is sand1spider.

Cons: The only con I can think of is trying out different drives to find one that works well with this new card. I am running the beta 14.2 right now. Its very stable and works well with this card.

Overall Review: Finding the money to buy a second card!!!

This one awesome LCD!!

ASUS 27" 1440P Eye Care Monitor (PB278Q) - QHD (2560 x 1440), IPS, DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI

Pros: No did pixels and one great LCD screen. Well worth 500.00 that there asking now. I bought this LCD screen by mistake think it was the pro LCD screen. But when It got to my home. I got it up and running and was so impressed I just decided to keep it and just pay a higher price.

Cons: I bought it a week or two before they dropped the price from 800.00 to 500.00 and it was my mistake. But love the Asus LCD screen and move on with my life on well.

Overall Review: See you on BF 4 !!!!

Ram it with These boys!!!

XPG V2 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model AX3U2400W8G11-DGV
XPG V2 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model AX3U2400W8G11-DGV

Pros: Did not run like it says and had to go into bios and put the timing in manually. Works like there is no tomorrow in site. Makes a huge difference on my Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z motherboard. I ran a lot of benchmarks to make sure these two bad boys were going to hold up under pressure and wow they are rock solid 2400 memory. See you on the Battlefield 4 name is sand1spider .

Cons: Going into bios and tweak these guys to run at 2400!! Battlefield 4 runs awesome now!!

Overall Review: Think about buying another set to give me 32 gigs of memory!!

THE BAD BULL OF AMD!!

AMD FX-9590 - FX-9000 Series Vishera 8-Core 4.7 GHz Socket AM3+ 220W Desktop Processor - Black Edition - FD9590FHHKWOF
AMD FX-9590 - FX-9000 Series Vishera 8-Core 4.7 GHz Socket AM3+ 220W Desktop Processor - Black Edition - FD9590FHHKWOF

Pros: This CPU is like have a bull and trying to tame it. Just be prepared to have your water cooling rig ready for this wild bull. Because out the gate she is mad and want run with the devil. It is truly one awesome CPU I have ever in life owned.

Cons: HEAT is not your friend with this CPU. So if you want the wild and crazy bull and think you can tame this bad boy go for it!!

Overall Review: See you on BF 4!!!

One Huge Cooler!!

ARCTIC Accelero TT 6990 VGA Cooler - AMD 6990, Dual Quiet 120mm PWM Fans, Extreme Cooling
ARCTIC Accelero TT 6990 VGA Cooler - AMD 6990, Dual Quiet 120mm PWM Fans, Extreme Cooling

Pros: This thing is truly a gift from the heavens above. My Video card now can overclock easily and stay nice and cool. My temps are very nice. On ideal 34 C and on with full load and over clocked 60 C . I just wished I would have had it 2 years ago.

Cons: The fans are huge and are nice and wide. So be prepared to have the room it takes width wise. I also had to support my graphics card on the back end because of all the weight. I did not want to put more stress on my motherboard because of the extra add weight. I took a piece of thin wire and tide on the back of card and tide it to the top of case to hold the had straight.

Overall Review: See you in BF 4 baby!!!

Very nice hard drive!!

Seagate Constellation ES.3 ST2000NM0053 2 TB 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
Seagate Constellation ES.3 ST2000NM0053 2 TB 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

Pros: This hard drive is truly awesome. I ran HD Tune on the drive and no bad sectors. Very large drive and loaded Windows 7 64 in about 25 minutes. Well worth your time and money to buy one of these bad boys until SSD gets more cheaper.

Cons: The only con I can think of is that if you run defrag on the drive you better have the time to wait to it finishes. It takes awhile to get done.

Overall Review: See you on BF4!!!
