why does all the new gaming poo poo have crazy leds i thought we were past that


i literally saw a mouse review that said it was a great mouse but considered the lack of customizable lighting as a negative


why does my keyboard need customizable RGB lighting

kill me

Backlit keyboards are awesome, but I just got a $20 one that has no other noteworthy features. I agree with everything else.

Wireless peripherals are stupid. Wired keyboards/mice/headphones are cheaper, more reliable, don't need batteries, and unless you've got a wireless monitor than you're going to be at your desk anyway, idiot.

I don't understand the back light. If you're looking at your keyboard you've already lost.

I would have built one if there were parts at a retail store but gently caress me if I want to wait two days to get my game on.

Regarding the gpu, it will take full sized graphics cards. It comes with a gtx 9700 but I'll upgrade it at some point.

Not saying you made a mistake, if you've got the coin and don't feel like sweating over it and putting it together. I built mine 8 years ago and , since then, I've upgraded the GPU, RAM, Hard drives, and (just recently) the CPU. Motherboard is still going strong, and XFX 790i Ultra, and I modified a big CM Stacker case to integrate watercooling.

My main concern for you would be upgrading with the designer case. Now I got a nice case but I got a big one, one where I could pull the whole motherboard tray out without disconnecting my coolant hoses. That one looks like it could be tight on the inside, but maybe not, I have no idea. That's down the line though.

I would advise you that though your case is sleek and compact, that reduces internal airflow, you can get pockets of dust buildup especially if you leave it on/near the floor. Get it up on a desk not near a window that opens and closes regularly.

Do you have a warranty with BB? If so, it means no fun stuff like overclocking for you... not yet anyway.

There's going to be debate on this (and I know this thread's a honeypot), but I think this thread needs an idiot proof guide on how to build a PC:

1. Pick a build
2. Buy your poo poo
3. Put it together

Building a PC is not for geeks anymore. The only thing that stops people is the assumption that there's lots to learn when in fact it's so goddamn simple and youtube now teaches the world everything.

it's for geeks and autists. normal people have a dell or maybe a macbook air and play games on their phone and maybe a ps4

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
Why do gamers who build their own PCs get so angry at people who buy pre-built PCs? So they're spending more money than they need to, who cares? How does that effect you? People pay more for convenience all the time.

It's not so much the higher price; it's more the much lower quality. That's why I buy from Puget Systems.

Hey, you used the wrong affect/effect there. And "who cares" should be it's own sentence. No big deal, I just didn't want it to affect the point you were trying to make. Keep up the good posting!
