Pros: This is a great CPU. For this price, this item can handle anything I throw at it. Some projects can really utilize all the cores, others rely solely on clock speed, and this rock has it all.

Cons: AM3+ is on its way out. Before purchasing, check with your motherboard and video card specs to see if you want to remain in this family, or upgrade to a different socket type for a little extra. If you remain in AM3+, this is the card to choose.

Pros: Great price for the power it provides. Newegg is a great place to shop for computer parts.

Cons: The CD will mess you over. My motherboard recognized the card, and booted up without graphics drivers installed no problem. Whenever I removed all traces of Radeon graphics and installed the correct Nvidia drivers and restarted, it would crash on startup to the point where I had to go into safe mode and remove the drivers. I would not reccomend this card. I'm not a big expert on this stuff, but I'm pretty sure the card would work no problem if I was using a board with an Intel processor.

Overall Review: DO NOT USE THE CD. Asus is a good brand and I've stuck with them for half a year, but . I've returned the card for a refund and am looking for a better one.

Pros: Despite how minimal a SATA cable's job is, or how replaceable it is, Nippon Labs deserves a little love.

Cons: Con-gratulations on a great product.

Overall Review: - Look at the shapes of the cables to help you plan out your build. The down-facing build helped me stretch this cable all the way to the CD drive.

Pros: - Upon installation, I saw my CPU drop instantaneously 30 degrees, and maintain a cool composure during extreme tests. Its strange design is amazing and simple, and it remains modular in case I need to switch out the fan. I love this model.

Cons: - Buy an attachment fan. It comes with a one-sided fan, but it's built to put two fans on either side of the heat sink. This way, you can better control your air-flow inside the case. - It's Large. Make sure your case can handle it. Check out some pictures and compare them to your motherboard setup to make sure there's no conflicts. - Mounting is a challenge, and I got it wrong twice. Look for the little in-set in the middle of the X-piece mount, and screw that bit into the heat sink FIRST, before attaching the four points to the board. It may also help to screw the nuts to the riser screws first before setting the heatsink down. There should be some minor resistance so keep it even, but if you have to push hard to get a screw in, check your connections in the center again.

Overall Review: Never run stock cooling for your CPU. Place your RAM before placing the cooler. It may be impossible to switch out the ram if the fan sink is hovering over the RAM.

Pros: Upgrading to 2TB was a really smart move. I enjoy offloading large files, video projects and games to this drive and keeping my OS and personal files separate. Never runs out of storage, runs very fast, and prevents my case from overfilling with SATA cables.

Cons: WD is the way to go.

Overall Review: I would use this item as a backup drive, probably wouldn't throw the OS on it.

Pros: AMD build ASUS M4A78T-E board OCZ 700 watt PSU Runs quiet, smooth and slick. Newer games run highest settings perfectly. Be sure to update drivers with Device Manager as CDs usually never have the most up-to-date software. It doesn't look as large as the Flex model, but it still is rather long. Make sure to have sufficient wiring and organized cords in your case or it might get a bit cramped. I use two PCI-E cords provided with my PSU, so I don't know how well the card's power cords work. I purchased a Flex model of this card a year ago that failed on me, so I would suggest this card over the Flex model for price reasons.

Cons: -Battlefield Bad Company 2 gives me trouble (possibly a CPU issue) -It doesn't generate too much heat, but I would suggest extra cooling if you plan to really stress the card (i.e. running high settings newest games for more than a few hours each session)

Overall Review: Super Monday Night Combat time!
