My mini upgrade list just to tweak my gaming experience... comes in at £322 so im wondering am I being stupid here... or is this a good list:
Asus Xonar Essence ST Sound Card
G.Skill RipJawsX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-14900C10 1866MHz Dual Channel Kit (F3-14900CL10D-16GBXL)
Razer Carcharias Gaming Headset
Steelseries 4HD Gaming Surface (63200)
Sound card to replace onboard sound and a new headset to replace my Plantronics Gamecom. These 2 im 50/50 on getting, the sound card tempts me more but im also worried that if I dont get a decent headset then I wont get full benefit hence the inclusion of the Razer....
RAM will be an upgrade from 8GB Kingston Hyper-X.... this stuff is faster and I get double the amount, I know if wont make huge differences but it all helps?
Mouse mat... well ive a beaten up IKEA one here, so this is a no brainer.
Any tips / pointers?
Cheers,
(Current Rig i7 2600 @ 4.5, 8GB Ram, 256GB SSD, 580GTX Sli)
