Do you like your Corsair keyboard and mouse? I’m thinking about getting my next mouse and keyboard from them (probably the K65 keyboard, haven’t decided on the mouse yet).

Also my specs:

Main:
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770k
CPU Cooler: SilverStone AR01
Mobo: MSI Z77A-GD55
RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) Corsair Vengence DDR3 1600MHz
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB SSD, Western Digital Green 3TB HDD & Seagate Barracuda 500GB HDD.
GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 660 2GB
Case: Cooler Master Elite-430
PSU: Fractal Design 500W Integra
Case Fans: 4 random 120mm fans (which is a bit overkill)

Peripherals:
Mouse: Razer Deathadder
Keyboard: Saitek Eclipse
Headset: Corsair H2100 (which is wireless!)
Webcam: Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920
Monitors: 3x ASUS VS229

Thing I want to Upgrade Next:
Mouse and keyboard as they are getting very worn out.
Also a new GPU would be nice, but I’ll probably wait for the next generation as my old 660 works fine for now.

Nothing amazing, but as I don’t play any super intensive games it works fine for me.

Main:
CPU: Intel Core i7-5930k O.C.ed to 4GHz (was my inital OC and never bothered to push it further)
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 SE2011
Mobo: MSI X99A SLI PLUS
RAM: 32GB (4x8GB) Corsair Vengence LPX Black DDR-4 2666MHz
Storage: 1x Samsung 950 Pro 512GB, 3x OCZ TR150 240GB (one used for a Hackintosh install, 2 in RAID 0 (Cause I like to live dangerously)), 4x 2TB WD Green WD20EZRX in RAID 5 for long time storage / rarely accessed files, downloads and videos.
GPU: Gigabyte G1 GAMING GeForce GTX 980 Ti Graphics Card
Case: Fractal Design Define S Window
PSU: Corsair RM750i
Case Fans: 2x Fractal Design 140mm (Came with the case), planned to add more but found I didn’t need to (yet) so never bothered.
Case Lighting: Custom rig thats ever changing. Based of WS2812B’s, An Atmel ATMega32u4 and custom software on both the ATMega and running on the host machine so the PC can control the LED’s in real time - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhsALOwoszk [1] & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yORE0_qD9k [2] for examples of the case lighting in action ([1]shot with my shitty Webcam (Webcam was set to 30fps but I was recording at 60) [2] shot with my phone)

Peripherals:
Mouse: QPAD 8K Laser - Running (poorly written, must go back to it) modified firmware.
Keyboard: Corsair K95 RGB with Brown Key Switches
Microphone: The pile of shit in my Logitech C525 or the other pile of shit in the Geotech HC-3 Heaphones I use
Heaphones: Geotech HC-3 - The mic isn’t that great but it has decent sound output (My hearing is shot to hell anyway) and are comfy to wear. The inline volume controls are a little too loose for my liking.
Webcam: Logitech C525
Monitors: 2x AOC I2769VM, 1x 32" LG LED Monitor (forget the model, I’ll have to check, its about 2 years old now and wasn’t the “latest” model then. But it does the job)

Thing I want to Upgrade Next:
Another monitor… Always need more Screen Real Estate.
New Mic, but what I use is OK atm.
I may Water cool the rig (The reason I got the Fractal Design Define S) but I’m 95% happy with the noise level of the Rig When I game the GPU fan’s kick in and they are loudest thing in the whole rig so if I WC it will because of the GPU, But I tend to game with headphones and never hear the rig. The Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 does a great job of cooling the CPU and the sheer size of it has gown on me :slight_smile:

I also want to update the lighting software to also control the lighting on the GPU too. (but thats just software not hardware)

Just uprgarded 2 weeks ago for the first time in five years. Now im finally able to play Dark Souls III. Also, a 144Hz monitor is worth every penny imo.

Main:
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Nepton 240M
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3P
RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) Corsair Vengence DDR4 3000MHz
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 125GB SSD, Western Digital Black 1TB HDD
GPU: EVGA GTX 1070 SC Gaming 8GB
Case: Cooler HAF-X
PSU: Corsair 750W
Case Fans: pre-installed ones

Peripherals:
Mouse: Steelseries Sensei Raw
Keyboard: Zowie Celeritas (MX-Browns)
Microphone: the one on my headset
Headset: Sennheiser 360 Game
If im not playing games: 2x120W Jamo speaker (about 3’5") on a Yamaha A-S300 Amp
Monitors: Acer Predator XB240HAbpr + Samsung BX2450L

Thing I want to Upgrade Next:
I need new headphones soon. My Sennheisers are almost 5yo and start to crackle or not work at all whenever I adjust the volume on the headphones. So if anyone has a recommendation for headphones + mic or a all-in-one solution, I’m all ears.

I would recommend the Audiotechnica M50x. Lots of people use them and they are well worth the money. The M40x are also great from what I’ve heard. For a mic, I use the Blue Yeti, but the Blue Snowball is also good. It really depends on how much you are willing to spend :itmejploot:

I’m a bit of a Corsair fanboy, but I have to say that their CUE system and drivers have been a major pain in the ass for the K65 keyboard, and my brother has issues with his keyboard, mouse, and headset with the CUE system as well. @ChefPeace

Let me start with

I hate you all.

Main:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3450
CPU Cooler: Default shit
Mobo: Gigabyte B75M-D3V
RAM: 8GB Exceleram DDR3 - 1600Mhz
Storage: 1TB Seagate
GPU: Palit GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1GB
Case: Random shit they gave me

Peripherals:
Mouse: Logitech G400
Mouse pad: Steelseries QCK HEAVY, it is unique since I got it during Heroes of Newerth tournament DreamHack Winter 2012 and it has full artwork from the game on it.
Keyboard: Logitech G110
Headset: Sennheiser PC 363D - THE ONLY PART I LOVE IN THIS PILE OF JUNK
Monitor: Benq GL2450
Speakers: I have some Logitech 5.1 that are decent but I do not use them at all for last 2 years
Webcam: Some old 720p Logitech, again I don’t it use often

Future plans:

Burn everything I have or just pass it to my parents to play solitaire and keep:
Headset
Mouse pad
Monitor (to serve as 2nd or 3rd)

Since I don’t have much time to play games anymore and my work demands a lot of time on screen I was thinking to go with laptop this time around so I can work from outside of my home. I want: i7, one of GTX 1000 series, minimum 16GB of RAM, SSD and 17" screen + 27" monitor followed by another 24" so I can pair it with my old 24" when I am home.
As you can see I am still not set on exactly what I want since it will depend a lot on price.
This is scary as fuck for me since I do earn decent amount for my country (500e-600e per month and expecting a bump to 700e-800e in near future) but when it comes to buying new tech or things like that…PAIN for months. Now you might ask why would I go for high specs if I do not play games or do graphic, programming and so on, well to be honest I change my PC only after 3-5 years since it is high expense for me and I don’t want to get as outdated as I am atm with next PC.

I dislike the newest version of CUE and as such I’m still on 1.16.42. On my personal TODO is to fuck with the driver for the k95 rgb (the model I have) to actually get it to do what I want it to do better :slight_smile:

I haven’t even installed it on my most current computer. I still occasionally have issues where I have to unplug my keyboard and plug it back in on PC startup.

I had the opposite with CUE2. No issues without CUE2 installed but would get random things like the machine thinking the a key was pressed when it wasn’t with it installed. The only issue I have atm with CUE1 is sometime CUE1 will tell me I need to update my FW to 2.05 even though that is the firmware I have on the keyboard :angry:

there ain’t no PC spec shaming going on here, before I build my computer I had an off the shelf computer, no frills but got the job done.

I got my PC through Maingear because I needed a full build and somehow it was cheaper to get a prebuilt than ordering everything off of Newegg/Amazon and TB uses them so they’re reputable in that sense.

I watched them build TB’s PC and it looked like those front fans were being choked, is there a space in front of the fans to draw air? just looked on their website and it looks like the VYBE does have a space.

Based on a quick google search and watching their promo video it seems like it has intakes on the top and bottom of the front piece of the chassi :slight_smile:

I’d recommend getting a simple CPU cooler to replace the stock one. They can be pretty affordable and are a massive upgrade to the stock cooler. =)
