Asus GeForce 760
Pros: Good card. Beautiful, I couldn't stop looking at it when I first got it. Runs all my games pretty high. Haven't been able to do much benchmarking on this new build, but on my last build, it was great. Beautiful. I am very happy.
Cons: Asus's rebate program is a joke. If you buy this, make sure you copy and paste and tape every single thing. Don't bother writing anything. Also, submit your finger prints to verify you are who you say you are. Include a background report, and your last place of employment and why you don't work there anymore. Also, provide 3 contacts, and your ex girlfriends number, so she can tell asus why she left you. Include a plunger, so when they deny you your rebate, they can at least attempt to give a s-word. I know it's only ten dollars, but geez, why is it so hard to get that rebate? Photo copy everything! I will still do business with Asus, but eh, I will avoid anything with a rebate.
Overall Review: Other than the rebate issue, this card is great. I love it. No complaints. Might add another. This will not deter me from Asus. My mother boards are all asus, and my future build will include asus mother boards.
ASucks
Pros: Price. When it works, it's solid. Good luck on getting it to work.
Cons: This is now my THIRD board. First board burnt up, burnt up my processor, and attached peripherals. They did not replace the burned up processor. 1ST Rma. Simple enough, sent it to them, they sent me a new one. Horrible issues, when paired with an AMD 6300. Lag, video playback stuttered, music wouldn't play, video games would rubberband unless I restarted the computer. Second restart it would work correctly for a few hours, then start that weird stuff again. Sent it in for THE SECOND RMA. That was Jan 28th when they received it. Today is Feb 11th, and I still have not received my replacement, mind you, my ram and processor are equipped to the board for troubleshooting. They sent it to the wrong address. I live in Texas, they sent it to Ohio. I asked for compensation, they refused. I asked to upgrade to the newer board, or a higher chipset board, and they refused, even after I offered to pay the difference.
Overall Review: Avoid this brand by all means. I've had it, and have had NOTHING but trouble. I mean NOTHING but trouble. They refuse to compensate for the time my pc was not in action, and for the shipping I had to apply, TWICE. It's not worth the trouble. You might think you're saving some money by buying this cheap board, but go ahead and spend a little more on a better, more competent brand. ASrock isn't going to cut it. I have lost all faith in this company, and will NEVER buy another product from them, I don't care if it was for 1 dollar. I wouldn't even buy it, and then sell it to someone else, because I don't want them to suffer. This company is garbage. I hate I did business with them to begin with, I wish I could get a refund and just buy a better board. ANYTHING would be better. Even a factory board. This is horrible. I've been at least 5 months with a PC that didn't work, or didn't work right. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
UPDATE
Pros: Great looking tablet, great processor, when it works.
Cons: This is an update. I returned my first tablet, due to the screen malfunctioning, and received a new tablet. This one is possibly worse than the first. Several major issues. Will NOT connect for OTA's, Youtube does not work, bluetooth disconnects, and will not reconnect until I reboot, but then it just disconnects moments later. This tablet is laggy, the first one was not as laggy, Beyond the 30 days to get a refund.
Overall Review: Newegg was helpful, until this last issue, but the fault is not on them. However, I still wish I could return it, and use that money on the shield tablet.
Asus AX238H
Pros: Great monitor so far. Big step up over my 20 inch HP monitor. Great response time, very light weight. Looks great. Got this on sale, so it's a great price.
Cons: Craftsmanship. The inputs on the back are not sturdy at all. I tried to plug my HDMI cable into HDMI one, and the input just pushed in, as if there was no support behind it. I could NOT connect to HDMI one. However, after a bit of struggle, I was finally able to connect to HDMI 2. I already know Asus's rebate program is a joke, But I will try again. Be sure to follow EACH STEP CORRECTLY. Cut this, tape it there, cut that, tape it here, print this, sign, provide birthdate, ssn, previous address, have you been convicted of any crimes other than traffic violations in the past 5 years? Race. Why do you want this rebate? You know, little simple stuff like that, to try and discourage you from getting the rebate. Screw that, I want my little 20 dollars.
Overall Review: This is a great monitor overall. Best in it's price imo. Knocked one star for the build quality though.
OCZ Vertex
Pros: Another refurbished product, that doesn't look refurbished. It came in a factory retail box, wrapped, with all the accessories, an adapter and screws. I didn't expect that at all. Easy as it gets when it came to installing it. Runs fast. Loads fast. Love it. Firmware was already up to date.
Cons: Size, but I knew that. No cons really so far. Had a hard time loading windows onto it, but I think that was an issue with my build. I took it and loaded windows via a different PC, and that fixed that issue.
Overall Review: In the future, I will buy a bigger drive, but this is great for now.
Corsair H60
Pros: I'm not even sure this is refurbished. It came in a brand new retail box, with all accessories, and paperwork. Installed with no problems. My AMD 6300 went from 70 degrees, to 31. Not sure why I was running so hot, but once i got this beaut on it, it cooled off, and i was able to overclock it to 4.1. Easy to install.
Cons: Um, nit picking here.. I wish there was an indicator light to tell me if the pump was working fine or not.
Overall Review: This is just a temporary fan, until I get a bigger case and get my H100i. But this works just fine. Simple, easy and works!
