Christmas PC

[Muso]

Hey guys

I know theres all this hardware round the corner but I'm honestly not bothered. I've specced this pc for playing games and audio stuff so please let me know what you think please:

The keyboard/mouse I'm not 100% sure about I want something quite ergonmic. Also The graphics card, I'm decided on the 570, I could stretch to £300 to get an Asus but is it really worth it?

The Razer Lycosa, I found, didn't have enough buttons for the price, although it's a good quality keyboard it's just lacking a bit. for £20 more you could a Logitech G510, which has 18 extra programmable keys... I just got this keyboard myself and it's very nice, only problem is the backlighting is a little dull compared to some others.

I would get a 6970 over a 570 to be honest, it's a much nicer card

im trying to find a suitable motherboard, any suggestions? i need to order the parts this week.

Laserman how is the 6970 a nicer card? The reviews out today are saying the 570 is better.

Marku I'm not interested in AMD, I'm going for the preoverclocked to ensure a clock.

Anyone got any comments on the graphics card etc? I think it's a pretty good build if I don't mind saying so myself.

Excellent build, 570 has already proven to be a better option than the 6970, and I'm glad to see people are picking up the i5's above the i7's for gaming machines.
Though I would say I never see myself buying any 'hardcore' gaming appliances like the expensive keyboard and mouse...I suppose I just don't see what you're getting above a normal mouse/keyboard set for that kinda money.

GTX570 all the way, now the reviews for the 6950/6970 are out, the GTX570 just has more power and better min fps.
