The product works just fine

Pros: The keyboard truly works as new. It's heavy and durable.

Cons: It came with a small dent on a corner, though I don't really mind; it has some stains on the keycaps that won't go away, which I assume are from the previous owner, and one of the keycaps has a bunch of little dents, like if someone had stabbed the poor thing.

Overall Review: I knew this was a refurbished product but I expected it to look a bit better (no dents and no stains). If I had known it would look like this I would've seriously thought about just dishing out 10$ more to buy a new one because the price difference isn't even that big.

Great PSU

CORSAIR CX-M Series CX550M 550W 80 PLUS BRONZE Haswell Ready ATX12V & EPS12V Semi-Modular Power Supply, CP-9020102-NA
CORSAIR CX-M Series CX550M 550W 80 PLUS BRONZE Haswell Ready ATX12V & EPS12V Semi-Modular Power Supply, CP-9020102-NA

Pros: Feels solid. Black cables. Semi-modular. Can't even hear the fan.

Cons: The modular cables are very awkward to use, and it's a pain the *** trying to route them and make them fit properly. No biggie though.

Overall Review: Bought this PSU over a year ago for a budget build. I wanted something reliable to I went for a well known manufacturer and haven't been disappointed. Where I live there's blackouts ever so often, I have the PSU connected to a surge protector and it hasn't had any issues even after 30 or so blackouts while being used; I'm fairly confident in that this unit will last a very long time. If I ever swap it for a new one, it would have to be because I will need more power for newer components, but with the chip shortages going on, that might take 1 or 2 years. What this PSU is giving power to: Ryzen 3600 2x16GB RAM GTX 1060 6GB 6 RGB fans (120mm), 1 normal fan (120mm), 2 RGB fans (240mm) 1 Nvme, 1 SSD, 1 HDD

Great RAM

Pros: Price (at least when I bought it)

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Bought this over a year ago on sale for a budget build. The price won me over and I decided to trust the reviews; I'm glad I did, because the RAM works perfectly. I have it running at the specified 3200mhz paired with a B450m Pro4 MOBO and a Ryzen 3600. Never had an issue with it.

Great budget MOBO for AMD users.

Overall Review: I'm only giving this 4 instead of 5 because as a first time PC builder, the manual was (and still is) quite confusing at times. I'm sure I'm part of the problem for not knowing enough, but I tried using my RAM at their advertised speed and the PC wouldn't boot, suffice to say I got pretty scared and went back to the "stock" speed. Only 10 months later I found out that I should be using the 2nd RAM slots instead of the 1st ones (aka, A2 + B2, instead of A1+B1) in order for it to support 3200mhz, which isn't immediately obvious for a newbie like me in their manual.

Great budget case

Pros: Cheap. Easy to build in.

Cons: No dust filters (only for the PSU). Some terrible pseudo-mesh foam on the front panel.

Overall Review: I used this case for my very first PC build and it works just fine. I was looking for a Micro ATX tower and this one was one of the cheapest while also having good reviews. It truly works just fine, good front IO, thumb screws for easy side panel access, decent room for cable management. If you don't care about RGB (thus wanting a glass side panel), then this case will fill your needs.
