I can say it's pretty good. I've got it to 4.2GHz with the Xigmatek, and the RAM is bloody fast. 1600MHz CAS 6-6-7-20 is unbelievable. When I return from my trip imma try go 1866MHz :P

Powercolor is budget. No frills solution, but good quality and warranty. Sapphire is best known for Vapor-X. Warranty is good, quality is also good. XFX is the king of the cards. Their warranty is one of the best, and so is their quality. I've seen their low-end cards have higher quality than other brands (not gonna mention WHO) mid-end to high-end cards, but of course, theres the price premium.

Usually about $40 for installation.
You want gaming mouse advice from me? Stick to one that's comfortable. If not so much cash, then as long as its pretty comfy in your hand, it will do the trick. I, for one, am using some cheapo gaming mouse from PowerLogic (Must sarpork SG brand :P). PowerLaser GLX10. Bloody sensitive man. First time I used it in TF2 suddenly cannot snipe a big fat heavy :(. Pretty happy with it, costs $20 and it's a laser mouse, meaning you can use it anywhere (Ceramic floor, wood, mousepad, even your own lap). Mouse pad wise, I just use a free L4D mousepad. Don't bother with gaming mousepads.
Oh, and beware that the Krait has some quality issues with the left click. You may or may not experience it.

I'm running my desktop without side panel because theres no fan. Trust me, opening up the side panel will allow the fan to get more air, never mind airflow becomes non-existent. Just unscrew, pull back, detach the cable and done!
