Re: New gaming PC dilemma
ASUS Maximus VI Gene Socket LGA 1150 mATX
As Psyrus mentioned, the G600 is specifically made for MMOs, it's unwieldy on the pointer finger (gun trigger) for first person shooters. I love Logitech mouse products, so for current generation check out the G500S, that is G500S, not the G500, ... it's the evolution and near identical replacement of the Logitech MX518 . And yeah, the ASUS Maximus VI motherboards have superior onboard audio chipsets. NO need for discrete audio card. |

Re: New gaming PC dilemma
Not sure what your audio setup is, but something like a USB surround sound headset (eg the Logitech G35) could be used as an alternative to onboard audio.
In regards to the mouse, I'm currently using the Logitech G9X - and it's one of the best products I have ever bought. Logitech doesn't make it any longer, but they do make what I believe is its successor, the G500S, which Littoralis recommended above. I've heard good things about the Corsair M65, too. Gotta love Corsair. |

Re: New gaming PC dilemma
I'd highly recommend a SSD. A HDD is by far the weakest link in your list. Some of the other stuff could be argued that it is not a good price to performance ratio, but the SSD is a must, even if its a smallish SSD for the O/S with the HDD for programs/storage.

There are places you can read up a little more on the motherboard/sound card topic if you want.

Re: New gaming PC dilemma
I am using Microsoft wireless mouse (I don't remember what is it's model). I paid it 10$ and I don't have a problem when I playing. If you ask me, an average mouse and keyboard is useful to play and cheaper.

Re: New gaming PC dilemma

"gaming mouse" is a marketing term really (I'm studying product engineering, 90% of the products don't do what they're advertised to do, design and branding shapes the ) Of course, we should not exclude that a "gaming mouse" could in some cases be more comfortable to play for a specific user. But please, don't buy it just because it's has a "gaming" prefix. Go into local shops, close your eyes and feel what mouse is comfortable for you. And again, I feel bad for forcing my opinion into another person, but if you have the money to spend (won the lottery, taxes, etc..) you can do what you want. I even think it would be much easier for you to just buy a pre-build computer, since building your own computer is most of the times done out of necessity or not willing to spend that much money on a computer that has lots of useless stuff on it. | |

Re: New gaming PC dilemma
You have a very good point Careless. I was thinking about a pre-built computer but they seem to be very expensive.
I like a gaming mouse as there are some extra programmable buttons on it (I play Simulator and FPS games). |

Re: New gaming PC dilemma
I actually use DPI switches fairly often on my mouse (more than enough to justify them). Double thumb buttons are an absolute must.

Yeah I love my Logitech G500. It really is preference between all the models they have. Just don't get a mouse with 9000 buttons, it isn't necessary. I have like 3 or 4 on mine. Really nice using one of them as a Teamspeak talk button.
