My new PC's due to arrive tomorrow, I already have everything I need to use it but since the purple shirted place managed to lose my GPU and PSU now (on top of everything else), they've given me £200 in vouchers to replace them, it's way more than the 9600gt and old 600w PSU were worth, so I'm not worried about paying over the odds for stuff from them now.
My mouse and keyboard are both nothing special and I'm on a g+ adapter, so figured I'd upgrade those and maybe spend the rest on a SSD.
Sadly they're quite limited but unlike last time where I managed to worm my way out of buying from them, this time I'll have to.
I was thinking:
OCZ Vertex 60GB SSD at about £93
Net gear WNA1100 at about £15
Logitech MX Wireless Darkfield Mouse £70
The keyboard I'm struggling on. It has to be wireless as I often play from my sofa so with it being "that" shop, they don't seem to do any keyboards that are designed with gaming in mind. If I went for the previous list, I'd only be left with £20 or so anyway, unless there's anything cheap I might get a game or some fans, there's nothing wrong with my keyboard specifically.
Also, related question:
My new PC should be here tomorrow with windows installed and the CPU oc'd from the shop. If I get a SSD, is there a way I can copy windows over without changing anything? I'll be installing other stuff too so won't want that copied, I just want to change as little as possible in case I have problems and it needs to go back. If there is problems, it's not going to look very good if the first thing I did was to format and install win on another drive.
