Great upgrade from my fx-8350!

Pros: Small Form Factor, Good GPU, not as loud as others claim.

Cons: Only 8Gb memory, no internal data drive expansion, almost unplayable out of the box.

Overall Review: System is great with some tweaks. I first had some issues playing games and kept getting driver errors. Modified the refresh rate and got a little better. Turns out the actual culprit was windows game mode. Once that was disabled all my problems went away. Definitely recommend. At the time it was cheaper bundled than buying individual components but expandability is limited with this box. You will need to get an external game drive and you should definitely get more RAM.

Not bad

Pros: Does what it should. Works well with my current build.

Cons: Cables are extremely short. ATX connector almost didn't make it.

Overall Review: Great bang for the buck. Just be careful if you have a big tower. The cables might not make it.

Great Value

Pros: Great Motherboard for the money. Easy install came with everything you need and then some.

Cons: Does not have headers for front USB and E-Sata so my front connections on my case are useless. Won't drop an egg for it though. I should have done some more research on my end.

Great Case

Pros: Case is extremely inexpensive. Packaged very well. Great cooling with the three stock fans and is not loud at all. Easy hides all my wires with built in cut outs. Can't beat it for the price.

Cons: None
