Excellent

RAIJINTEK TRITON BLUE v02, All-In-One Liquid CPU Cooler with Pump, Water Block and Tank Design, 2* 12025 Fan, 240mm radiator, 2 LED Light, Fan Controller, Solid Mounting Kit and Installation
RAIJINTEK TRITON BLUE v02, All-In-One Liquid CPU Cooler with Pump, Water Block and Tank Design, 2* 12025 Fan, 240mm radiator, 2 LED Light, Fan Controller, Solid Mounting Kit and Installation

Pros: Installed this cooler in my new rig and it keeps my 4690k running cool @ 4.3 GHz. Even better/quieter once installing NF F12's on the rad. Looks so beautiful as well. Clear tubes, Clear reservoir, Incredible for an AIO. Also, the price blew me away. Incredibly cheap for what you get.

Cons: The stock fans aren't that great. They do there job but are a bit loud. However, when you use the included fan speed regulator, you can turn the speed down to a very quiet operating speed making them very quiet and still keep my cpu relatively cool, So, I won't dock an egg.

Overall Review: Overall, excellent cooling, excellent looks, excellent value. Best AIO on the market IMO.

Most Critical Review

Worst Headset ever made

Razer Kraken Pro Over Ear PC Gaming and Music Headset- Black
Razer Kraken Pro Over Ear PC Gaming and Music Headset- Black

Pros: Doesn't need USB. Newegg has great shipping.

Cons: where do I start. Day 1 of getting these. I open the box and use them. The left headphone doesn't work. So I though ok maybe it's a driver thing it will fix itself when I install drivers. I was downloading razer synapse and I took the headphones off and left. Come back and install drivers. Put it on and it works. Cool. I then use it for a couple months no issue. Keep in mind my replacement period expires at 30 days. I look on the internet and see that if I use razer surround the sound on these headphones will sound a lot better. I install it and WOW I realize these sound like trash without it.(i'm not an audiophile so I assumed that it was supposed to sound like that). And then the problem of the left headphone going out comes back. It only happens when I put them on(after having taken them off and leaving). I realized that pushing it into the side of my head till it pops makes it work again. So now I have to hit the side of my headphones every time I want to use them. I also realize that You have to run services.msc and restart razer surround audio EVERY TIME YOU START YOUR PC for it to work. HOW IS THIS NOT FIXED. So I've basically been living the past 9 months with a piece of trash that cost $80 and I have to hit my head and restart some bull just for them to work. Complete piece of trash

Overall Review: TLDR: Don't buy. It's garbage. I have to hit my headset for it to work and restart the surround service when I turn on the computer. Too late for me to return.

Good keyboard

Corsair Vengeance K65 Compact Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Cherry MX Red Switches
Corsair Vengeance K65 Compact Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Cherry MX Red Switches

Pros: The build quality is great. I love the brushed aluminum. The small size is great leaving tons of room for my giant qck mousepad. The detatchable braided cable is appreciated however it is a bit too short for my setup.

Cons: Only comes in cherry mx red. I of course knew this coming into it but I wish it did come in brown and blue. As I said the cord is a bit short.

Overall Review: The lack of different key switches docks one egg, but, it still is a great keyboard. I especially recommend this if you like cherry mx reds.

Fantastic

MSI 970A-G46 AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: - Windows 8 boots in about 7 seconds and my hdd has a windows score of 5.9(trash). - Has a good amount of fan plugs - More than enough sata plugs - I love the drivers

Cons: Absolutely none yet

Overall Review: If your on a budget, BUY THIS -FX 6300 -MSI 970 G46 -Radeon 6570 (Upgrade soon) -Rosewill Challenger case -Thermaltake TR2 600 watt

FANTASTIC

Rosewill CHALLENGER ATX Mid-Tower Gaming PC Computer Case, Expansion Ready: Internal 3.5" Bays & External 5.25" Bays, 3 Pre-installed Fans with Side Fan Mount Option
Rosewill CHALLENGER ATX Mid-Tower Gaming PC Computer Case, Expansion Ready: Internal 3.5" Bays & External 5.25" Bays, 3 Pre-installed Fans with Side Fan Mount Option

Pros: This case is the strangest offer I have ever seen. -$50 ( I got it marked down to $40$ -Very sturdy -3 fans (perfect for fan cooling in a pc) - Simple no tools installation of hdd and optical drive -sweet looking blue led fan on the front -the air pumpig out of the exhaust fans are extremely cold -Lots of room for big graphics cards(sadly im stuck with a 6570) - atx boards fit ALL of this stuff and I have probably forgotten some things.. for $50! sometimes $40! AMAZING

Cons: Maybe the dust filter for the psu isnt the easiet to pull out while conputer is fully upright? Not really a problem considering u can tilt it slightly to reach the filter. Doesn't have a window on the side panel. BUT, it has 2 fan slots on te side instead. NOTHING WORTH DOCKING AN EGG

Overall Review: If you don't have money to blow on a giant case, this case is the greatest bang for your buck.

Thermaltake TR2 TR-600 600 W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply
Thermaltake TR2 TR-600 600 W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply

Pros: Pretty darn good. Cant hear the fan. Plenty of cords for expansion. Plenty of power.

Cons: Maybe not enough 6 pins for graphics. Not a problem though because it has 2 6 pins so you can crossfire radeon 7580. Not too much of a problem.

Overall Review: If you want a cheap but quality psu, that is able to run 3 case fans, a 6 core, and a good gpu. get this
