Best Computer Build here?
Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone has a better computer build then mine here?

______________Custom Build___________________

Mobo: M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 (decent, gets the job done)
Graphics: 4870x2 XXX Edition (Old, but still plays Crysis 2, BF3 and Skyrim on high easily)
Memory: 16gb Corsair Vengeance @1600MHz (I don't think I even have to explain this one)
CPU: AMD 955 x4 Black Edition OC'd @ 3.8GHz (Amazing...)
Hard Drive 1: Hitachi 1tb (Ordinary Hard Drive, plenty of space and used for storage)
Hard Drive 2: Intel 80gb SSD (Stores my OS and core applications, boots so fast that I don't even see a Welcome screen!!!)

Peripherals:

Audio: Logitech 6930 Wireless Gaming Headset (Best headset I have ever used, been using it over a year never had a problem, ad its wireless )

Montior: 24in HD 1080p Viewsonic Monitor (Great monitor, gets the job done and looks great!)
Keyboard: Alienware Tactx Gaming Keyboard (Amazing Keyboard, looks and feels great, lights up with customizable colors
Mouse: Microsoft Sidewinder Wired (Gets the job done) Just Ordered a Cyborg R.A.T 7 Mouse, cant wait til it arrives
Mine has better specs but a worse graphics card

EHUEHUEHUEHUHEUHEUHEUEHEUE.
Mobo: Yeah, its decent nothing really to brag about here
Graphics: Generally High is below ultra, so on High with max res. But it can still run Skyrim and BF3 on Ultra Max res
Memory:Yes, CL9 (Didn't feel like spending the extra buck on CL8)
CPU: 3.8GHz Quad does what it is asked and does it fast, I could very easily OC past 4.0 but why bother?
Hard Drive 1: I just bought a ordinary storage HDD, opens my work documents and music/video just fine lol
Hard Drive 2: Sandforce LMAO??? Intel and Samsung's SDDs have the best performance and reliability out of all the SSD's ( not the best price though...)

Audio: Never had a problem with this headset, surpasses all the headsets I have owned.

Monitor: Yes TN Panel, I really don't see how this would improve my gaming performance by buying a IPS, and TN generally have a faster response time and are way less expensive.

Keyboard: DAS would be great if you are a Editor of some sort, or you just enjoy the way it sounds. But when it comes to gaming, Das is pointless. I only use Logitech or Razer Keyboards, and I recently bought my first Alienware Keyboard and does a great job.

Mouse: I didn't pick looks over performance, I bought a mouse that could last me 5+ years and would still feel great. Its fully customizable feel truly makes it very unique. The ability to change its weight/grip makes it one of the best in the market. If you truly wanted appearance their are a lot better looking mouses

I got bored with drawing the arrows, you'll get the point.

Aside from being virtually the shittiest headset I have owned in terms of soundstage and sound replication, it tends to get uncomfortable too. HD800 / BD dt880 / AKG K702 all the way. Also Head Fi would rape you for saying that.

You have decent IPS panels too that are adequate for gaming, the only reason I could fathom that would justify buying a TN panel would be a 120Hz screen for 3D gaming.

Pointless? How is it any more pointless than Logitech or Razer? Unless you're some sort of MMO addict that needs his 50 keybinds all around the keyboard it performs as well, if not better, than mainstream gaming keyboards. From all my keyboards only Das Keyboard & Logitech's slim illuminated one have ever proved that they can endure my work and gaming as they should.

"lol "

A G5 or G500 match the RAT's performance and leave it well behind in terms of ergonomics. Although I've never had a RAT for longer than a couple of hours, I can safely say that if there's one thing Logitech doesn't make utterly shitty, it's some of their mice. My G5 lasted longer than any Razer, SteelSeries or any other mouse and the G500 is a great (hopefully temporary) replacement. Though Sensei was pretty awesome...
How much did this even cost?
