Fantastic

Logitech G9x Black Two modes scroll USB Wired Laser Gaming Mouse
Logitech G9x Black Two modes scroll USB Wired Laser Gaming Mouse

Pros: 5 years ago I bought a G9 and the thing is still going strong today. I only had one mouse foot fall off during its use (on the side) which didn't affect it at all. I loved it so much, I bought a G9x for my new rig. I debated getting a G600 but figured why tempt things - this mouse might not look like it, but it's truly awesome.

Cons: None.... seriously, G9 and G9x are fantastic. I've never had a mouse last over 5 years like my G9 so I had to get a G9x for my new rig.

Most Critical Review

Have owned 2, one was the older version without USB 3.0.

Cooler Master HAF 912 - Mid Tower Computer Case with High Airflow, Supporting up to Six 120mm Fans and USB 3.0
Cooler Master HAF 912 - Mid Tower Computer Case with High Airflow, Supporting up to Six 120mm Fans and USB 3.0

Pros: Fantastic price for what you get. Some tool-less features. Fans run for several years before needing replacement.

Cons: Not enough room for a standard dual radiator setup for liquid cooling. I currently have an Arctic Liquid Freezer 120 installed in the back blowing IN to the case (yes, this is on purpose) with a fan on top blowing outwards and upwards. Arctic Liquid Freezer is surprisingly a very good cooler and can hang with the bigger names like Corsair and the like (if not surpass them.) Yeah, I am not kidding. Anyway, just a heads-up that you will not be able to install a side-by-side radiator dual setup without cutting into the case - but check out the Arctic cooler I mentioned to solve that. Big radiator with 2 fans that is just as good.

Just quit worrying, this thing is the one you want.

SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 500GB SATA III 32 layer 3D V-NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-75E500B/AM
SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 500GB SATA III 32 layer 3D V-NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-75E500B/AM

Pros: Simply the best SATA option available when it comes to SSDs. Not trying to sound like an ad - it's just the best out there.

Cons: Pricey. Worth it though.

Overall Review: Just get one if you are not going with M.2/NVME.

Loud, fast, huge space

WD Black 5TB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 128MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD5001FZWX
WD Black 5TB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 128MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD5001FZWX

Pros: Thing is quite fast for a mechanical. Big cache. Tons of storage space. Using it to install all games I can think of, then I started using it as a secondary backup for my first backup drive on top of it, and I still have just under 3.5 Tb left.

Cons: Noisy. Loudest hard drive I have ever owned without a doubt. I've been building PCs since the 90's and I can still make that statement. Doesn't sound like anything is breaking or questionable - it's just loud while it grinds away compared to other mechanical drives including Velociraptors I've had in the past. This is also faster than the 1 TB Velociraptor by the way.

Overall Review: Consider the warranty you get with WD Black when comparing it to others. Blacks are great for that alone.

Love it

Pros: Microphone is great on this thing - sounds better than more expensive mics I've had in the past.

Cons: Ears can hurt after awhile.

Love it

RAZER Sphex Gaming Grade Desktop Skin
RAZER Sphex Gaming Grade Desktop Skin

Pros: Very slick and smooth, excellent for optical + laser mice. Paper thin so you aren't rubbing the edge like some mousepads. Cheap for how good it is.

Cons: Make sure you put it on a recently cleaned and dry surface, where you don't have to move it again. If you move it, the bottom loses stickyness and can get contaminated - also, they can curl if you don't take proper care. Excellent mousing surface when you use it correctly.
