whats your thoughts on this please?
Asus VG248QE 24" Widescreen 144Hz 1ms Gaming LED Monitor - Black

Never used one.

What I do know is that 120/144Hz is great for gaming which that Asus is, here are two reviews from the same site for the two screens,

review looks like the aoc is a good choice indeed.

The audio on the g1 sniper i would maybe like to use a decent headset for surround sound effects, i know im asking a lot but which headphones best reproduce surround sound while still giving decent quality sounds overall?

Never used headsets mate, best searching gaming peripherals section

Edifiers for speakers

atomic7431 · 23 Nov 2013 at 20:41

looking into them not heard of those before, no idea where to go with them lol.

Edifier R1600T Studio Plus 2.0 Monitors seem to get some good reviews?

stulid · 23 Nov 2013 at 20:46

Studio monitors if you want clarity, or 2.1 or higher with the subwoofer etc if you want surround sound?

£40 more but the shaders come unlocked giving you a 290x for 290 money, gibbo has said they have the his model unlocked to 290x being put up on Monday and those cone with bf4 so will be a bit more than the vtx.

mmm very tempting but im pushing the money up all the time.

atomic7431 · 24 Nov 2013 at 16:53

atomic7431 · 24 Nov 2013 at 18:06
