Ordered a New Gaming PC Should Arrive on Jan 1st!

It's almost ready for pick-up!
Now, I'm saving to get some better gaming accessories.. I have the Logitech G400 Gaming Mouse, which I like, everything else is crappy.. So I guess I will upgrade everything in a month or abit more..

 

That is a very good computer you are buying. What types of games do you play the most?

 

G400 mouse is one of the best, don't bother upgrading it really.
Get a good mech keyboard, & a mousepad(razer goliathus/steelseries QCK+ are good ive owned both xD) if you dont already have one and you'll be good to go.

 

I wanna get a CM Storm Trigger which, in my opinion is a great mech keyboard, probably going with the brown mx switches..
I want a mouse pad that fits my mouse+keyboard so probably goin' with the goliathus.. I remember some kind of a company that is almost the same as Razer, they have a huge mouse pad which I liked, if someone has an idea about it, tell me.. BTW, what's the difference between speed and control mouse pads?

Most likely BF3 and Crysis.. not sure about Far Cry 3.. and want this PC to future-proof me for another 2-3 years without GPU upgrade

 

CM mech keyboards are great ones!
Ozone Ground Level Evo is the same as the big Goliathus and so is Ripper XXL not sure about others.
I used the speed, but you'd have to google peoples opinions on the difference.

 

Thanks, it's really weird like $10 diff, I guess I will go with the cheaper (Never used a "more than $3 mouse pad" so it won't really matter unless there was a noticeable difference.

 

That's a very good comp! When I built mine, ppl were also saying i5 = i7. In the end I went for i7 and never regret that.

 

Thanks

HORAAYYYY IT ARRIVED!!!! Now trying to find a safe Windows 7/8 (You know where I'm downloading it from)
P.S- If some1 knows a safe Windows download PM me..

 

24-27'" is 1920x1080. If you haven't ordered a monitor yet I recommend looking into 1080p 120hz monitors such as the Benq 2420T (This monitor is the only 120hz I can find that doesn't bundle 3d vision which would increase the price by at least $100-$200 in the u.s. prob more where you live)

 

It's $500 on Amazon, I would buy a Korean 27" 2560x1440 for 75% of the price :O

 

the difference between those two would be 2560x1440 60hz vs 1920x1080 120hz. 120hz makes everything look so much better

 

It won't make the picture itself look better, but in fast motion, it would look smoother. Things like FPS games would benefit from faster refresh rates. In my opinion, for big screens, I would go for res over refresh rate.

 

120hz is amazing, but so is 1440p, all depends on your preference, if you'd rather extra desktop space, and crisper graphics(whilst requiring more gpu power) or smoother gameplay, which is best for FPS' like cod n shit.

 

If I get a 1440p I will prolly save for another 7950 after..
My MOBO (GA-Z77-D3H) Has 1 PCIe 3.0 and 1 PCIe 2.0 will it bottleneck if I CFX?

 

Nice PC. It's great for gaming! I wish my Computer was that good

 

Thanks, save abit money, you don't need to spend $2000 to get a gaming PC (Well, mine is worth 1,300$ but I paid 1900 for it) use a thread that I made, for $750/$600/$500 you can get a nice PC..

 

AFAIK your board does CFX @ 16x4, you will see a performance drop compared to 8x8, not sure how big of one tho, googles your friend there.

 

Well, let's be positive hoping it's a tiny difference

 

Can someone explain whats so good about mechanical keyboards?

 

Build quality, feel of the keys, etc etc. You can't really understand the difference between rubberdome and mech switches till youve used both. When I first bought mine I thought it wouldnt be a huge difference, i was wrong. typing on this laptop with rubberdomes after a year of my cherry mx reds just feels gross.
