Pros: It will come as no surprise that this worked well. Corsair vengeance is a very well trusted and high preforming set of RAM. Had no problems whatsoever, and it comes with a lifetime warranty just in case I eventually do. Also, it's fairly inexpensive given the quality.

Cons: Absolutely none.

Overall Review: I really recommend getting this. You won't have any regrets.

Pros: Alright is a pretty good description. I was worried spending so little on a motherboard, but it worked well. Start-up is really fast (under 45 seconds), and everything runs cool and smoothly. Really recommended if you want a solid motherboard without all the bells and whistles.

Cons: However, there are a few things that aren't so good. First of all, there are no PWM fan connectors, so all of your system fans will run at 100% all the time. This probably wont be a problem if you have quiet fans, but my fans are obnoxiously loud. You can easily hear my computer from 10 m away. Additionally, I couldn't get my subwoofer to work with the audio drivers. Although I'm expecting this is Realtek's fault.

Overall Review: Overall, I recommend this board. It preforms solidly and is stable, despite a few annoyances. But I guess you get what you pay for.

Pros: This CPU is really great. I wanted a low power but high performance CPU for development, gaming, and normal computer use. This i5 really delivered. It runs lots of applications at once with no problem. Start-up takes less than 45 seconds. When it comes to gaming, it didn't let down either. It ran high CPU intensity games like Planetside 2 and KSP while keeping framerate drops to a minimum. All of this while only using 84 W and never going above 55 degrees with the stock cooler.

Cons: It's pricey, but you get what you pay for.

Overall Review: Overall, I recommend this CPU for a heavy user who doesn't want to blow $500 on an i7.
