Buy this keyboard!

Microsoft  SIDEWINDER X4  Keyboard - Retail
Microsoft SIDEWINDER X4 Keyboard - Retail

Pros: Crazy good value for money Cool red backlighting Crisp keypresses (Harder, no flex once you hit bottom like cheaper keyboards) Media/volume adjustment keys are useful Keyboard looks really cool Real antighosting. I tested, and you can press every key on this thing and they'll all register.

Cons: Keypresses are slightly loud because of the crisp keypresses. Macro keys are placed awkwardly, making them useless in games where hitting them quickly is important (FPS, action) You do need to do a manual driver update if you want the media keys to work with iTunes. Intellikey 8.2 on Microsoft's site, if anyone's interested. Takes 30 seconds.

Overall Review: The cons are really nitpicking - this keyboard is perfect for anyone who wants a comfortable, accurate, backlit wired keyboard.

Still powerful as of July 2012

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card GV-N570OC-13I Rev2.0
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card GV-N570OC-13I Rev2.0

Pros: -Quiet -Cool looking -Powerful! I get 50-60 fps with BF3 at 1080p and ultra settings. -Fairly inexpensive for a 570 -Good warranty

Cons: -Driver software may come with some bloatware, no biggie. -Pretty large. Fits into my HAF 912 after I remove the hard drive rack though.

Overall Review: I've been running it at stock clocks so I can't attest to it's overclockability.

Good case for the price

Cooler Master HAF 912 - Mid Tower Computer Case with High Airflow, Supporting up to Six 120mm Fans and USB 3.0

Pros: -Cheap (in price, not build) -Cool looking -Plenty of space for my GTX 570 -2 fans come with it, room for 200mm -Can fit pretty large CPU coolors/water cooling

Cons: A bit of interference from the front panel audio. It works and all, but cables have some buzzing when the computer is working. I took off an egg because I spent hours troubleshooting this problem only to find that it's just the front panel that's a bit glitchy. Unless the room is really quiet you won't notice, and this front panel issue is common in quite a few computers so it's not exactly isolated.

Overall Review: I am happy with my purchase, and especially since it was so cheap. Great case!

Great Gaming Mouse

Logitech G400 Black 8 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical Gaming Mouse
Logitech G400 Black 8 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical Gaming Mouse

Pros: -Extremely Ergonomic/Comfortable -Lots of buttons -Easily Adjustable DPI -Cool looking but not too flashy. Could use this in an office and not get weird looks.

Cons: -Optional driver software known to be glitchy. Without the software the default DPI button doesn't work (but who cares)

Overall Review: Great mouse for a great price. Precise sensor, extremely comfortable, even during long use, great in every way except for the bad driver software, which you don't have to use (I don't)
