We need to know everything you have before we could make any recommendations.

Orcvader · 21 Jul 2012 at 20:53

If that's the case, then I recommend this:

YOUR BASKET
28 x Official Overclockers UK Elite Gaming Mug £4.99 (£139.72)
Total : £151.48 (includes shipping : £9.75).

Only joking

. How about a mechanical keyboard? What keyboard and mouse are you using now? This is starting to fall under things that's heavily down to personal preferences...

ince · 21 Jul 2012 at 20:58

Please post full specs

keithfa26 · 21 Jul 2012 at 21:03

28 oc Mugs cant its 1 quid over profit haha

Logitech G400 and the g19 keyboard I was temted by a machanical keyboard but what will the diffrence be? i know they last longer and are that split second quicker

Orcvader · 21 Jul 2012 at 21:12

A mechanical keyboard is nice (using one myself) but if you're happy with the G19 then it may be better to put the £150 elsewhere. There's a big thread here you may one to check out if you feel it's right for you: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18299334

On the other hand, how about a soundcard?

keithfa26 · 21 Jul 2012 at 21:15

Hmmm been looking at soundcards recently can u feel the big improvment that the build in?

keithfa26 · 21 Jul 2012 at 21:16

infact have any of you used the Cyborg R.A.T. 7?

keithfa26 · 21 Jul 2012 at 21:17

Orcvader · 21 Jul 2012 at 21:26

Well for me, the DX gives much better clarity, less inteference noise (infact I hear none at all!), and a better punch bass wise. The Xonar STX is one of the best and sits within your budget, but have a look at the D2X and the DX as well.

I got some Harman Kardon Soundsticks III speakers today and they look awesome...will definetely make your rig look like a command centre if thats your thing.

Please ignore, this guy is clearly smoking something special....

I say some top headphones and a soundcard. Mechanical keyboards are nice but you've already spent a fair bit on the G19. Mouse mat maybe also?

Headphones I would recommend:

Goldring DR150
NS1000
Sennheiser HD555

If you game get Open headphones as the direction of the sounds is better.

Depending on the type of games u play you could look in to one of these
YOUR BASKET
1 x Logitech G13 Advanced GameBoard (920-000947) £64.98
1 x Razer Nostromo Gaming Keypad £54.98
Total : £130.46 (includes shipping : £8.75).

+ a soundcard Xonar DX or something...

and with the monies that are left over a new mouse mat? extra case / cooler fan etc?
