Gaming P.C full build. Advice needed

It won't put me off future builds. I'm sure I probably said last time I wouldn't do one again but once it was up and running I was really happy with it.

Was just a bit of a downer when it didn't work straight away. But building it myself saved some money and also allowed me to get some awesome parts (GTX 680 baby!). So all in all I'm really happy with it.

Just playing around with Fraps at the moment and some compression software. Playing a bit of War Inc. Going to upload a video to Youtube just for testing to see what it's like. Quite a fun game though, really not used to FPS on a P.C will take some getting used to.

Next step is a new monitor, mouse and keyboard. I don't feel a 4 year old samsung 22" LCD, a LX gaming (ebay) mouse and a £20 microsoft keyboard cut it with this beast of a machine.

Mate bought the Razer Deathadder today so might give it a go and see what it's like.

Use handbreak for video compression
also I recommend the logitech g400
 
Yeah I downloaded Handbrake. Compressed my 30gb video down to 800mb and it still looked really good. Guess that's the point in compression? :)

I'll do some research into peripherals, it's only 3 weeks until payday!

The only downside to not getting the P.C completed until today is I'm now in work for 4 days straight, then 3 days with mates visiting and then back to work for 4 days straight again. Not going to get a chance for a proper play around!

What do we think?

I play quite a few MMOs, mainly SWTOR at the moment and soon moving onto GW2 and there will always be some Rift and WoW thrown in there for good measure.

But I'm thinking do I really need all those buttons on the naga. Perhaps the DeathAdder is the better all round mouse to go for as I will be playing other games such as a bit of BF3, DayZ, Diablo 3 etc etc
