Keep your computer running smoothly with help from this Corsair Hydro Series liquid cooler, which works with select Intel® and AMD processors and features a 240mm radiator and dual 120mm fans to dissipate heat.

Use this with my Intel i7-6700k processor and could not be happy. Without overclocking it keeps the temperatures nice and low. When I do overclock it comes with a nice feature that changes the LED color on the processor heat sink when it gets hot so I can see that it is starting to get maybe a little too hot. Only downside is if you have a high end graphics card like the Asus 1080 Strix 08G overclocked GPU then the case might get a little warm depending on your set up.
Example:
I have the fans below the radiator on the top of my PC so it blows the heat upward and out of the system. Now this works fine, but when my GPU starts to heat up it is blowing hot air the same direction and because the radiator is taking up a majority of the top, some of that heat dispersion is hampered. This might be better with a normal fan setup, but I want the overclocking capabilities on my CPU. Not really and issue for me since my GPU hasn't really gotten above 60°C ad I'm on a 2k monitor, but it could be for someone else who is looking to run 4k at 60fps on something like Battlefield 1.

Bought this for my girlfriend and she seems to love it. She likes the fact that it syncs with her iPhone so she can preview her calls/text messages without having to take out her phone at work or when she has set it down somewhere else in the house. Fair amount of customization and a fair price when compared to the functionality of other smart gear/watches.

Another Windows OS

It is what it is. It's windows 10... I have heard a lot of negatives about Windows 10, however I am primarily a Mac OS user and when I build my new PC and installed windows 10 I was surprised at how nice it was since the last time I used a windows machine (Windows Vista). I don't think it is earth shattering with its new features, but it is a good operating system.

Bought this for my new PC and I am very happy with it. I would recommend if you are not looking to overclock the processor then do NOT get this one since it would be a waste of your money, just go with the i7-6700. If you are looking to overclock then do get this since it has some of the best speeds for a quad core.

Excellent mouse for the price

I bought this keyboard for my high end PC and love it. I was afraid that it wasn't going to be great due to the low cost when compared to other gaming keyboards. I was very happy when I got it and found it performs excellent and has some great key customization options (if you download the Logitech program from their website). I actually customized keys on this keyboard to open specific programs I use a lot, or even shut down the computer. I have the Logitech G3002 mouse to go with this and could not be happier with the price and efficiency of these two items.

Bought this mouse for my new high end gaming PC and was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. I think this mouse is an excellent value. I have had it for 3 months and have no complaints about it. The only issue I had was the fact that to customize the mouse (extra buttons/light color) you have to download a program from the Logitech website rather than just having a disk or jump drive with the program in the box with the mouse.
If you are looking for an excellent gaming mouse on the cheap, go with this one.

This Logitech G933 Artemis Spectrum 981-000585 gaming headset features 7.1 Dolby Surround Sound and Pro-GTM drivers, so you can experience rich, immersive audio for your games and music. A noise-canceling microphone lets you communicate with other players.
Between this G933 and the Logitech - G633 Artemis Spectrum Gaming Headset - Black, which one is better? Or at least say the differences between the 2.
G933 = Wireless, G633 = Wired. Other than that they are the exact same model. I can tell you the cords are nice and long on the G633 and the optional cords are also long on the G933. So if you don't mind the cables, and want to save some money, go with the G633. If you don't want the cable management, then go with G933. These are some of the best value 7.1 surround headsets on the market currently either way.

Get more out of your gaming experience with this ASUS gaming monitor. The 27-inch WQHD display delivers greater detail, while in-plane switching technology provides a 178-degree viewing angle, making this monitor ideal for multiplayer games. Featuring a 4 ms response time, this ASUS gaming monitor eliminates streaking and ghosting for smooth, continuous play.
Is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX980 dedicated video card with 4 Gigabytes capable of driving this monitor properly?
I don't think your graphics card will tap into the true potential of this monitor. The 980 is a great card but it depending on what you are looking to do on this monitor, it might not be so great. I have the Asus Strix 1070 08G and I primarily use it for gaming. My framerates generally don't drop below 100FPS, and I have played some games that hit the max 144FPS on this monitor, however some intensive games I have to lower the settings to hit good framerates (I have had GTA V dip into the 30s which is painful after seeing 144). If you are a gamer and don't mind playing at lower graphical settings then I recommend this monitor, but then what is the point in having such a nice monitor if you aren't going to see the nice graphics? This might be a nice monitor to have if you plan on upgrading in the future, but by that time it might also be cheaper as well. I don't know if I have answered your question or just opened up more...
