I mean realisiticly unless you need to play at a super high resolution & all kind of shit you can be future-proof for like the next 2-3years with dual cards.
Also my CPU is shit and I should of went intel with their superior OC'ing & bigger cache. I hate AMD cheap sob's.

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...

This guy has to be the most computer illiterate tard of recent. I bet you just asked a guy in the shop what he thought, and you excepted what ever dribble he spat out as truth. Granted you computer is better than mine, but if I had the money my dick would be bigger than yours. You're the kind of guy that I imagine walks into a store sees all the fancy looking things on display reads the little advertising blurb and goes YEP I WANT THAT ONE.
Not a personal attack, but the way you try and justify yourself with your purchases just makes you sound down right dumb.
Especially lol'd at you disregarding sandforce and toting about how Intel and Samsung are super leets.
Also like how I read your comment about the RAT, when I was reading it I imagined it being spoken by some generic voiceover from a commercial.

When it comes to computer mice it's how your hand/playstyle is so like me I hate my Razer Naga but alot of other people swear up and down by it. Same as the Rat I think it's a piece of shit but my friend has one and shuvs it in his ass at night.
As far as his PC. Shits outdated just like mine. If anyone here DOESNT have a better PC than thats sad. That shit is like 2-3 years old...
Forgot to mention that most users of this website are below the legal working age and most have parents/someone buy their PC parts for em.
So it's kinda hard to have a "DECENT" pc when everyone's parents are fucking tightwads and everyone here is a kid.
BTW if you still live with parents = kid.

My PC is 4 years old. It's more outdated than his. I'm also 18 does that make me a sad kid? Nope. It makes me a poor young adult. I live with my parents because in Sydney, housing costs are incredibly expensive. It would be financial suicide for me to seek external housing. So I live at home with my parents. No rent, no bills.
I can't afford the computer I want and I refuse to compromise. I've managed to last my computer as long as it did to the point where only now it is showing it's age. It's survived power surges, choked airflow, countless overclocks and downclocks, countless bricked hard drives.

Intel Core 2 Duo e6750 (was overclocked by friend but I don't remember the numbers, but it's since been downclocked to stock)
2GB DDR2 Generic RAM
Asus P5KR Motherboard
8800GTS 512MB (Was overclocked @820/2020/2240 with reference cooling, but since downclocked to stock speeds for longevity, everynow and that I boost it up if I know I'm going to game a lot)
As you can see nothing special.
Soon, by Christmas hopefully, I will have a best of a machine that will give Alen and others a run for their money
Also going to build another computer for a friend.

dows. Anyone who saw my computer for the first time would assume its a powerful workstation of some sort. And regarding your Sandforce comment, I agree performance wise they beat the Intel and Samsung but when you compare Performance and reliability anyone with the slightest knowledge of SSD's will tell you that Intel and Samsung have by far the greatest reliability (Well as far as SSDs go lol). SSD's are fairly new and die a lot, so I always back up my data and make sure I buy a brand that can last as long as possible. And regarding your RAT comment, RAT lasts long and feels great, and if you don't like the weight or feel you can change it, not any other mouses can do that. So no I didn't buy it mainly for its performance, I bought it because, in my opinon it is the most comfortable mouse I have used, if you like another mouse...well that's great for you. 
Edit: Also this computer is about 2-3 years old, and back in its time it was the best build for UNDER 1k, it took months of shopping to get all these pieces so I don't "just walk into a shop and by what ever the fuck the clerk tells me". Try to make a build equal or better than this, EVERYTHING I listed included for under 1k, and if you somehow manage to find a build like that for under 1k just imagine the prices 3 years back. ( Not including the RAT and the SSD)
Edit 2: Also I am not trying to say this is the best build (Because I know it isn't) I am just inviting anyone who has a better build to post their specs..

I only go to a shop if there is something small I need (for example: thermal paste). Also I really don't have anything "fancy" on my computer, actually I have the opposite, my computer is pretty bland looking with a all black Full Tower case without any lights

As for your build, then yeah it isn't hard to build a good computer for sub $1000. I don't quite understand your comment with "if you somehow manage to find a build like that for under 1k just imagine the prices 3 years back". Stock prices don't depreciate all that much, any depreciation is within the first year before the product is discontinued. So one can't really imagine the prices of a product 3 years ago, considering modern products weren't available 3 years ago, and 3 years ago the products available aren't stocked anymore.
I built my computer for just under $1100 in late 2007. I could have gotten it for just under $1000 but I decided to order them all from a single shop, as a friend of mine owned it and I thought I'd support a local business as long as he threw in an OEM copy of Vista.
