... And I'm umming and ahhing what to get for myself.
I had initially thought that I would be wanting Performance orientated PC upgrades for my recently built gaming PC as it was made to a bit more of a budget than I wanted to... however I have been shocked by the exceptionally good performance and don't think I actually need to spend any money in this regard yet as I'm running everything I throw at it on high/ultra and getting more than acceptable frame rates.... so with that taken into account I thought I'd provide myself a more luxurious user experience.
If funds allow I'm looking at a 27-30" monitor running at 2560*1440 / 1560*1600 but this is looking very unlikely at the moment + if the PC has to push that sort of resolution then I think it is going to need processor & graphics upgrades so in the mean time and particular recommendations are welcome, but focus more on:
Speakers. I use headphones a lot and have a pair of Steelseries Siberia V2 Frost Edition. Love them... but I don't always want to use headphones. I want: a 2.0 set of speakers that will sound more than decent playing any music i throw at it + game audio. subwoofer's not possible... no room on the desk, dog will piss on it if it's on the floor. I have briefly glanced at Bose Companion 20's (within budget) and Bower & Wilkins MM1's (not within budget, but so perty. you know how it is, might have to eat beans for a month but if i want them enough....). Any comments on either of these? Any others I should consider?
Keyboard. I have a barely acceptable wired Microsoft keyboard. I'm looking for something that will take the abuse of my blistering typing speed while ideally being silent and having a beyond pleasant action (I used to love my Cherry G80 but there's no way the Mrs would stick the noise). Blue-lighting would be a lovely bonus and I doubt I could live without it seeing as i'm spending money. Programmable Macro Keys for World of Warcraft etc would go down a treat too. Black is acceptable but a suitable glossy white frame that would match a NZXT Phantom would earn you incredible brownie points. I don't need to replace the mouse as I just bought a Logitech G700 and while I thought it was going to be a stop-gap I might stick with it for a bit as it's growing on me. Oh yeh. Wireless would also be +++ as well. To be honest I don't even know where to start with the spec list I have. Budget up to £150 ish.
