Pros: - Overclocks well - High Performance - Handles anything you throw at it\ - Great price to performance ratio

Cons: - Poor Thermal Interface Material - Bad temperatures above 1.3v due to the TIM

Overall Review: Absolute powerhouse in the i5 bracket for Ivy Bridge. If you have a socket 1155 motherboard don't bother moving to Haswell, just get this; you won't regret it. Overclocks great, but you will run into heat issues when going above 1.3v due to Intel's poor TIM unless you have custom watercooling or manually replace the TIM (which will void the warranty). Besides that issue, it's still worthy of 5 stars.

Pros: - Extremely Fast - Extremely cheap when I got it ($65) during Black Friday - Simple setup with XMP - Warranty - Cooling - Trustworthy Brand

Cons: Only minor con I can think of is the timings. This can be expected with fast RAM though.

Overall Review: As I said, the timings leave a little bit to be desired, but they can be improved by fiddling around with them in your BIOS. When I got this set, I got it for the amazing price of $65. If I had to buy again at the current price, I would most likely just go for a set of DDR3 1600 instead of this, as there is really no reason for the extra speed besides benchmarking and bragging rights. The speed of RAM just doesn't make that big of a difference. Still, this is an all-around 5 star product.

Pros: Overclocks well Hynix RAM (quality manufacturer) Plenty of RAM (4GB is a really solid amount of VRAM these days - if just a bit more than needed) Great cooling solution Quiet Good price Great performance

Cons: None

Overall Review: I was seriously wanting to get a Radeon R9 290, but since the price went up due to coin miners it sort of defeated the huge upside to that card. I thought I was going to somewhat regret settling for this card, but in the end I'm really glad I got it. The performance is great, it overclocks very well, and I'm somewhat relieved to be back with Nvidia.

Pros: Much better thermal performance than whatever comes with your heatsinks. This small tube will last you probably 10+ years making the value great.

Cons: none

Overall Review: There's higher performing thermal compounds out there now, but they're usually more expensive. I have sworn by Arctic Silver 5 for years and I've lost count of how many times I've recommended it to people. It's just a fantastic product.

Pros: Price is good You can swear by Seagate's reliability Seagate is good at providing firmware updates

Cons: none

Overall Review: What more can you really ask for when buying an OEM hard drive? I've always trusted Seagate's reliability, as I have never had a drive fail even after thousands of hours over their rated lifespan.

Pros: Great price (at the time of purchase) Does what it's supposed to do Solid, stable value-priced RAM

Cons: none

Overall Review: It's not the fastest RAM out there and isn't great for overclocking. At this pricepoint though, you shouldn't be expecting to get those features. It does what it's supposed to do and has a great pricepoint.
