Beginner looking for equipment

[JamesA95]

Hey guys, new to PC Gaming, going to try and build my own gaming PC. However I have a few questions.

Can anyone recommend a good mouse and keyboard, preferably not expensive?I'm mainly going to be playing games like BF3, Arma 2, and some RTS and MMO's.

I'll also be needing some fairly priced 5.1 speakers, what do you guys recommend?

Budget?

Don't really have one, spending roughly £630 on the PC itself. I'll be wanting good quality speakers, so mid-high price. But as for the mouse and keyboard low-mid price will do.

Well I linked to the good'uns, speaker selection isnt something I know much about, so had a stab in the dark.

Thanks guys, the keyboard and mouse look good. I'll dig around to what other speakers there are.

Your welcome

Maybe look through the sound city section to see if there are any threads.

The sidewinder is out of stock now and has been for a long time. You may want to drop ocuk a note to see when it's back in stock.

Mice in particular are a very personal thing..

Obviously there's good and bad, but the designs of different gaming mice favour different ergonomic preferences.

I have TurtleBeach X41's, was looking around and saw that I can use them with a PC. So I might just opt for the speakers that were linked above.

Sidewinder is a great keyboard for the price

Razer DeathAdder is a very good mouse and a good one is fairly important for gaming -Razer DeathAdder Respawn 3500 DPI Xtreme Precision Gaming Mouse - Retail

With a keyboard you can get away with anything really.
