Most Favorable Review

decent price for a decent 3200mhz ram

Team T-FORCE VULCAN Z 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model TLZGD416G3200HC16CDC01
Team T-FORCE VULCAN Z 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model TLZGD416G3200HC16CDC01

Pros: got it for a reasonable price, you pay less you'll get a 3000, pay more and get a 3600mhz.

Cons: but like all other t force vulcan ram, you cant really reduce the timings or overclock beyond its xmp frequency (3200 in this case). The chip is binned to the bones. If they can overclock it to 3600mhz of reduce its timing to cl15, they would sell it as a 3600mhz of cl15.

Overall Review: -it's an okay product for an acceptable price

Most Critical Review

more like 80 plus silver rating compare to 2019 80+ gold premium PSU, misleading name scheme by rosewill

Rosewill PHOTON Series 850W Full Modular Gaming Power Supply, 80 PLUS Gold Certified, Single +12V Rail, SLI & Crossfire Ready - Photon-850
Rosewill PHOTON Series 850W Full Modular Gaming Power Supply, 80 PLUS Gold Certified, Single +12V Rail, SLI & Crossfire Ready - Photon-850

Pros: -great price for a 850w power supply, good for a low budget high tdp build -fully modular, mediocre build quality and capacitors + railing rating -comes with all the necessary power cables

Cons: -outdated design and capacitors, more like 80+ silver rating compared to other modern 80+ gold PSU such as one of my cooler master V650, and nowhere near the quality of supernova g3 80+ gold 650w -some of the actual railing ratings are only on par with my 650w evga supernova g3 lol -plain cardboard box

Overall Review: only buy this when it's really on sale, but to be honest this power supply needs an overhaul in 2020, since it's quite outdated and inferior compare to other premium 80+ gold 850w+ power supplies. If you have the budget, dont cheap out on PSU and get something better please

pretty good TLC nvme ssd for the price

Western Digital WD Blue SN550 NVMe M.2 2280 1TB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) WDS100T2B0C
Western Digital WD Blue SN550 NVMe M.2 2280 1TB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) WDS100T2B0C

Pros: -good price to performance ratio for a nvme pcie3.0 ssd -one of the best entry nvme ssd as of 2019-2020 -good write endurance due to TLC -very compact and slim, able to squeeze into laptops

Cons: -uses system memory as cache instead of dram, yes this is how they keep the cost down -WD's hard drive mirroring software is literally unusable compare to crucial/micron's

Overall Review: -great entry nvme ssd if you can get it cheap

Great product...but DO NOT TRUST THE REBATE

Phanteks Eclipse P400 PH-EC416PTG_BW Black/White Tempered Glass/Steel RGB ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Phanteks Eclipse P400 PH-EC416PTG_BW Black/White Tempered Glass/Steel RGB ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: - great build quality for its price - has rgb strips and everything you need for a mid-high end pc -parts are well-designed

Cons: -the rebate is a joke, they push you to a third party rebate dealer (rebate@axpertec.com) and the dealer will practically find non-sense excuses to reject the rebate. Forget about the rebate, just wait til the price hits the historical low then buy it (use ca.pcpartpicker.com for this case)

Overall Review: -I thought rebates are like loans you temporarily give to the companies to help their cash flow, but clearly I'm wrong as half of them are actually scams. Shame on you for this part Phanteks, don't expect me to buy anything above the historical low price again.

DO NOT BUY

MSI H81M-P33 LGA 1150 Intel H81 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
MSI H81M-P33 LGA 1150 Intel H81 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: cheap for a lga 1150 mobo, has usb 3.0 ports in the back.

Cons: First only 2 sata ports are up to 6.0Gbps. Second it has NO usb 3.0 19-pin connector for the front. Most importantly, terrible product quality and customer service. 6 months after i bought it, with there were some windows 8 automatic repair failures, it seems to boot up slowly and get into windows 8 much slower than before. Few days ago, it cannot power on after I bought a new hard drive, until i swapped everything from my dad's desktop and scale the problem down to the malfunctioning mobo. I emailed msi and they did not reply, seriously why.

Overall Review: still have to buy since I need another mobo to replace it. Terrible product and customer service.

as advertised, but could be better

NZXT Source 210 S210-001 Black “Aluminum Brush / Plastic” ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
NZXT Source 210 S210-001 Black “Aluminum Brush / Plastic” ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: acceptable price, fast shipping, good packaging, decent design

Cons: poor texture(plastic feels cheaply made), no USB3.0, too much ventilation hole to save manufacture cost. Like compare to the rosewill cases from other website, this thing has absolute NO ADVANTAGE in all category other than the bottom mounted PSU. So it's somewhat expensive for it's quality

Overall Review: the manufacturer should really improve this product: A. make a better one that has more attraction points, or B.lower the price by $10 to be competitive
