    What Mouse and Keyboard Are You Using Right Now?

    So I've been converted to the wireless mouse cult with my Superlight 2 but my girl bought me the Deathadder V3 Pro as a valentines day present and I think I like it better. I switch back and forth a lot between mice but I think the DAv3 may be the best feeling shape I've ever used, and I've...

    What were your favorite Speakers?

    Speakers in general, Kef is my "go to" brand. I've owned a couple sets of their home speakers and have heard them used in a few car audio, sound quality, installs and I love them. Another favorite is Scanspeak, specifically the Revelators. For computer speakers, in 2001 I bought a Sony Vaio PC...

    Headset DAC or sound card for gaming?

    Consider the Arcits Nova Pros from Steelseries. It comes with a pretty solid DAC that the mic also runs thru and it has a lot of features. It's not very powerful tho but plenty for the Arcits Nova cans. I have a set of them, Audiotechnica G1, Beyrdynamics DT770, Hyper X Cloud Alphas and...

    What Mouse and Keyboard Are You Using Right Now?

    I totally agree when it comes to keyboards but as a PC gamer, I get not wanting a cable. I have been killed multiple times because my cable or the cable bungee getting hung up. And since wireless mice are all the rage, it's usually where the highest end mice are. Granted you gotta buy the top...

    What Mouse and Keyboard Are You Using Right Now?

    I got $80 in Best Buy gift cards for Christmas so I splurged and did something I swore I'd never do.... Bought a top of the line wireless mouse. Since 99% of the pros use them I figure why not take a shot. I picked up the $160 Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2. After a couple of days with it I...

    Recommend me a great-sounding 2.1 speaker system for PC?

    I tend to agree with this. I've had mine for about a decade and still really like it. I wouldn't call it reference or audiophile quality but it sounds really good especially with gaming. The surround on my subwoofer started flaking off but I replaced it with a $20 woofer off Amazon and it...

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (2023)

    I played MP for a couple hours last night (I don't care about the campaign) and I gotta say I'm liking it. I don't have a very in depth opinion of it yet but it seems to run good, it looks really good and I think the movement and gun play are better than MW2.... I like the atmosphere these maps...

    Modern Warfare III (2023): Graphics looks like *last gen* what happened?

    I haven't played 3 yet but intent to when it's released on the 10th. I personally don't care if the graphics are cutting edge. I usually turn the settings down anyway to get the higher FPS. Isnt this just early release right now? I thought the games wasn't actually released until the 10th.

    Lack of innovation of Mice

    I always wanted one of these. In one of PC Gamer's How to Build A Gaming PC issues back around 08 when I first got into this thing of ours, that was the mouse they picked for the build. I'd never seen a gaming mouse before and thought it was gorgeous and had to have it. I was broke as hell tho...

    Gamers Nexus vs LinusTechTips: Smackdown

    Yeah I call BS. She actually lost me when she said she's receiving "death threats" over it. That's always the first sign somebody's making stuff up. Linus turned a YouTube channel into a multi-million dollar business. I think he was pushing too hard trying to get out 1 video a day and that it...

    Dead Space remake (2023)

    I hadn't played it in a while but fired it up yesterday for a little bit and it seemed to run fine. Honestly I've never had any problems with it.

    Whatz your oldest system/gear you still use on a daily or regular basis?

    Gotta be my case, a Corsair 500R Carbide. I got it in 2011 I think. I've revamped my rig several times since then but I keep the case. It's starting to look pretty dated but I still like it. Well built, plenty of room for my needs and looks good.

    (RUMOR) Konami is set to revive Metal Gear (confirmed), Castlevania (still waiting) and Silent Hill (confirmed)

    Yeah I was wondering what was up. That looks like a cool enough game I suppose but it definitely didn't look like a Silent Hill game.

    Is 650 watts enough for my new build?

    Wasn't that long ago that 650 watts was plenty for just about any rig you wanted to build. Not nowadays. With a 3090 and 5700x I'd want a 750 at least and would probably opt for an 850.

    How many of you actually use ray tracing in the games you play?

    I turned it on in Modern Warfare 2019 the other day. I know that's not the best game for it but I was curious. Frame rate dropped from 140's to 100's and while I could see some cool graphics in some places, overall I really didn't notice much. But it was enought that I think I might use it in...
