Pros: Powers my 500$ gaming build with no problems, and cable management was easy.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: This is currently powering: Radeon 5750 GPU Phenom II x3 740 B.E CPU 3 case fans, 2 120mm 1 60 mm 1 320 GB 7200 RPM Western Digital Caviar Blue HDD ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 AM3 AMD 880G 2x2GB 1333 RAM

Most Critical Review

Absolutely horrible

dreamGEAR Arcade Fighter for PS3
dreamGEAR Arcade Fighter for PS3

Pros: Nothing. I can't think of a single positive thing about this.

Cons: Doesn't read fast inputs correctly, or at all. Stops reading anything at random times for a second.

Overall Review: I got this for SSFIV AE, and have regretted the purchase since I first plugged it in. It will just stop working for a few seconds, and more than half the time when I do a shoryuken or fireball with ryu, it just doesn't read the inputs, and does a regular punch. Don't buy this, it's cheap for a reason. Save up for a HORI or a madcatz TE, this is just a waste of money.

Amazing Keyboard

Pros: I've had this keyboard since my first computer build, which was almost 5 years ago. Everything still works like it was new, no lights out on the backlighting, no keys sticking or not registering, still in 100% working order. I'm a gamer, and have been using this keyboard 4 or more hours almost every day since purchase. This is a long lasting, cheap keyboard.

Cons: Not mechanical, but already known before buying.

Overall Review: Solid keyboard for a great price.

Amazing CPU

AMD Phenom II X3 740 Black Edition - Phenom II X3 Heka Triple-Core 3.0 GHz Socket AM3 95W Desktop Processor - HDZ740WFK3DGI
AMD Phenom II X3 740 Black Edition - Phenom II X3 Heka Triple-Core 3.0 GHz Socket AM3 95W Desktop Processor - HDZ740WFK3DGI

Pros: Unlocked to 4 cores easy, picked this up on Black Friday for 68$. Best investment made in my $500 Gaming PC. I'm using the Freezer 7 pro to keep it cool, and it never gets above 35 degrees Celsius even when running WoW and SC2 at the same time.

Cons: It's out of stock now.

Overall Review: If it's ever restocked, get it.

Great graphics card!

Pros: Got this card to go with my 500$ budget gaming build, and I couldn't be happier. Runs SC2 on High settings with no drop in fps, and on ultra with minimal fps drop when I get into bigger battles. Same thing in WoW. Also runs CSS at 200+ fps. Amazing performance for the price.

Cons: None so far.

Great Mobo

Pros: Core unlocker works amazing, unlocked my AMD phenom II 740 tri core to a quad, and have had no problems with it. Great mobo that will not need to be replaced for a long while.

Cons: None
