Great Power Supply

IN WIN Commander III 800 800 W ATX 12V 2.31 / EPS 12V 2.92 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
IN WIN Commander III 800 800 W ATX 12V 2.31 / EPS 12V 2.92 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Plenty of power for my build - have a GTX 760 GeForce, one 500 gb SSD, and DVD/CD drive. It has plenty of power to run SLI with 2 video cards. It also has a quiet fan. Modular made it so I could reduce redundancy of cords I have no purpose for.

Cons: The cords were not as flexible as i would have hoped, as they did not work well with the cable management feature with my case.

Overall Review: Maybe I did not need 800 Watts with my build but it is nice knowing I have the capabilities to upgrade at any time, and it is very affordable for a 80 plus gold supply.

Comfortable / Clear / Great

SENNHEISER GAME ONE 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Gaming Headset
SENNHEISER GAME ONE 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Gaming Headset

Pros: These headphones provide excellent quality in games, music, and the microphone is spectacular. -The cushions on the headset are outstanding, it comfortably sits over the ear instead of on it, and I could wear it constantly for hours and not even realize it was on my head. -There is volume control on one of the ears for quick access, the mic is very sturdy (not flimsy like most headsets), and the cords have a very good distance to them.

Cons: Nada

Overall Review: I will remember SENNHEISER for future headset purchases.

Great games, awesome graphics

NVIDIA GIFT Holiday Bundle
NVIDIA GIFT Holiday Bundle

Pros: * Received a replacement scratch off code when I had scratched the first one too hard and made the codes illegible * Great price for the 2 games together * Games run perfectly with the new GeForce 760 video card

Cons: None, it was free... my favorite F word

Once you go SSD, you won't go HDD again!

SAMSUNG 840 Series 2.5" 500GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TD500KW
SAMSUNG 840 Series 2.5" 500GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TD500KW

Pros: * Restarting computer only takes a few seconds with an SSD * Make sure you're OS is on the SSD for optimal performance * Loads everything in a flash

Cons: * Could not get it to properly work with my 1 TB HDD * Had to reinstall my OS and wipe my drive to get it to properly work at one point.

Overall Review: This SSD has plenty of room, but if I need extra space I have a 3 TB external to store data

Good card, had for 3 years

EVGA 01G-P3-1556-KR GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) FPB 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
EVGA 01G-P3-1556-KR GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) FPB 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: * Easy to install drivers, fits perfectly in a mid ATX case * Runs games smoothly - some games that are more graphic intensive may need lower settings to run smoothly * Played CoD Ghosts and needed low settings to keep up a decent frame rate, but plays LoL like a boss.

Cons: * It is good but not great, I upgraded to a GeForce 760 and am not upset spending twice the amount of a 550ti card for it.

Overall Review: This card will run up to date games, but you will have to tweek the video settings to ensure you get a decent frame rate with some games.

Great Case!

RAIDMAX SMILODON ATX-612WBP Black 1.0mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Foldout MB Computer Case With 500W Power Supply
RAIDMAX SMILODON ATX-612WBP Black 1.0mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Foldout MB Computer Case With 500W Power Supply

Pros: * Case has great airflow with the built in fans * Cool blue LED lights that give it a nice look * Comes with power supply - with 500 W you can comfortably install a GeForce 600 series video card * Easy to install HDD/SDD with the trays provided * Simple to access the components inside with the side door latch

Cons: * Front door of the case has to remain open when using the USB in front of case

Overall Review: This was case I used for my first ever build, and I have had it for 3 years without any problems. Plenty of room to work with, you may need a bigger case if trying to get a GeForce 700 series video card.
