SimonQuigley Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'll start. Case: CiT Vantage Green CPU: AMD FX6300 Black edition Motherboard: ASUS M5A78L-M PSU: Corsair CX600 GPU: EVGA GTX650 Ti RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance HD: Western Digital 1TB Peripherals Mouse: Razer Naga 2014 Keyboard: Perixx PX-1100 (temporary) Mouse mat: Razer Sphex Monitor: Bog standard 19'' HD The only bits i still need to get are a Razer Deathstalker (Yes, I am a Razer fanboy) and some Corsair fans since I just broke the connection on my side panel ones. Please dont hate me for zero cable management. If anyone's curious it can run games like CS:GO at 175-200 frames at medium settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSU: Corsair Modular HX750 GPU: MSI GTX670 RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance HD: Corsair 120GB SSD, 2x 500GB Seagate Barracudas Mouse: Razer Deathadder Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow Mouse mat: Razer Goliathus Monitor: Benq XL2411T (144hz) Speakers: Creative Gigaworks T40 Headphones: AKG K550 SimonQuigley and cropzy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that the Blackwidow used to be one of the cheapest mechanical keyboards on the market. But they are (generally) not crap, there's a reason why the majority of pro's use Deathadders. If you want something which really is crap, gaming headsets. cropzy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiantKiwi Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I refuse to work there. http://www.cclonline.com/ And you were saying about stuff being overpriced eh? Adam3088: The only reason most Pro's use certain peripherals is because their sponsors will require them to use the products given to them by said sponsors, doesn't mean they're any good. In the case of razer, they are just too far behind the curve now, their products are just rehashed crap with whatever year it is at time of launch tacked onto the box, that they've been releasing for the past decade. As for keyboards - the best mechanical keyboards still are and probably always will be the IBM Model M's - Modern mech's are cheap and tacky in comparison, amusing as an M can be had for a whopping £25 (I got mine for free, out of a recycling skip, courtesy of my dad over a decade ago) if you know where to look, when the supposedly cheap razer one is almost 4 times that. cropzy and Lozart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microsoft Intellimouse 3.0 anyone? They were and still are one of the most popular, no sponsoring there. The reason most of them use Deathadders isn't so much down to sponsorship, it's because razer ripped off the ergonomics of the IE3.0 and stuck a higher dpi sensor in there (not that they'd be using a higher dpi). Cheapest model M on ebay is more like £40, and you'll end up with horrible yellowed sh*t from the 80's. But it will have good switches, not sure if the compromise is worth it. cropzy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
