Guys, need help with a new computer monitor...which is considered the best bang for the buck? looking for a really good one, though doesn't need to be best on the market?

I've been using an old G15 keyboard for ages (4 years I think), it's been solid - no problems & I have a heap of the macro keys in use but I started looking for an upgrade.

Ended up getting a Corsair K95 mech board - this thing is insanely nice. I can't even imagine going back to the logitech.

What keyboards are you guys using for gaming?

I got myself a Logitech keyboard from my friend. I think one of them gaming ones but it has COD MW3 plastered all over.

My friends' been bugging me to get a couple off of eBay from Korea. The value is really really good. Looks a few posts back. I think someone bought one from there.

ok, thanks - will check it out.

Yeah that was me...I'm still highly impressed with it. Only negative is you can only use it as DVD D (meant to type "DVI D") which isn't a big deal to me since i only use it for my PC (Xbone nor PS4 can go above 1920x1080 anyway) but if you want hdmi, etc., you have to look around.

Yeah, I mean the brands are obscure but from what I understand, I think all of the major companies have their screen panels made there; so it wouldn't matter what you get? I dunno. But yeah, mostly, shipping is free and the prices are 50% cheaper than that of DELL.

What? DVD-D? Not sure what you mean?

 

[darthviper107]

He means DVI-D

Ah! Gotcha.

If I wanted to get a gaming PC where would I start? Should I get a steam box?

Oops, typo....meant DVI D, like Viper said.

I was impatient and bought the Razer Blackwidow one since BB had it in-stock and I had a gift card...has blue keys....love the mechanical keyboards.

Damn, you could. It would be super expensive though. I'd buy buy it part by part. Granted that you have someone to help you put it together.

Depends on what you want, if you want to get the most for your money then build your own desktop gaming computer. It's really not difficult, the things you need: CPU, motherboard, power supply, RAM, graphics card, hard drive, computer case, DVD drive, mouse, keyboard, monitor, a copy of Windows if you need it. Then just go to Newegg.com and look at each part, start with CPU and go from there. Look at the ratings and find things with a good number of reviews and is fairly high rated.
And it's really not hard to put together, takes a couple hours and it's pretty fun.

 

[Kibagami]

Yup. What he said. Putting it together is pretty simple. I think the most difficult part is installing the processor to the MOBO. Other than that it's mostly snap this and plug that. Installing windows is easy as pie as well.

 

[Vader AL]

I found the hardest part was deciding what to buy. So many choices.

True.

Just constantly on the hunt for the best steal. And one cool thing about buying are MIRs. Getting rebates back.

 

[darthviper107]

The only thing that's a bit iffy is the motherboard, out of all the parts that's the most likely to have problems

Awesome, thanks a lot
