CM Storm Trigger is built like a tank as well

Have not tried browns, but I'm sure either would get the job done. Just beware that blues are really loud.

I switched from one of those to a Humanscale Different world chair, and my back problems at my desk have pretty much subsided. It's not as cushy and comfy but it definitely supports me the right way and helps keep me more alert at my desk.

Elementary OS and Xubuntu get my vote. I personally run Xubuntu with the plank dock

You can often find nice sturdy desks second hand for almost free! I bought mine for $20 and it has served me over 3 years! It's basically the same thing as @kuddlesworth9419 posted. And by spending less on the desk, it leaves more money for peripherals!

Maybe some high end office chair reviews? Specifically if you feel that they are worth the price or not.

I personally hate the idea. Why would I want to carry around a screen AND a controller? Can you imagine how awkward it would be to have the screen on your lap and then hold the controller? If I already need to put down a screen to game, I might as well just bring my laptop or something. I liked the original shield form factor much better.

Colormaster has some nice solid budget keyboards. I personally have a CMStorm (coolermaster) Trigger which I picked up for around $80. It's so solid you could kill a man with it and plug it back in and keep typing. I'm not sure what keyswitches it all comes in. I have it in blues but I know that it also comes in browns. Not sure about the reds. I would check out their lineup regardless as they have a great price to performance ratio when it comes to keyboards.

Ubuntu just seems a lot more bloated than mint so mint gets my vote. I prefer xubuntu as my Linux os though.

Crappy headphones Justin Beiber music Coors Beer etc

I like Windows 8.1 for it's compatibility with hardware, games and software. It's also a great touch experience if you use it on a tablet or Surface pro. It's just a super versatile OS overall compared to the others which are only good at a few things.

Either will suit you just fine! Don't listen to the stereotype that blues are for typing and reds are for gaming. It's all personal preference. I love typing on reds and prefer gaming on blues! It's all up to the user.

If you want a great software experience, you can't go wrong with Logitech.

I use the macros on my G700 for AutoCAD and Revit. I bind the buttons to commands to make for quick modeling!

The poll should have to option to select more than one. I use blues & reds.

Yes, someone should start the "show off your chair" thread.

Lol I was about to post this.

I 2nd this. Reds are nice and light and super smooth. I like them a lot. I actually switch between reds and blues on a regular basis just for fun because I like typing on both of them.

There is always the option of turning the graphics settings down a tad. Not much image quality is lost, but the performance improves significantly. I personally just use the Geforce experience program to adjust the settings to what it thinks is optimal, then tweak it from there until I have a good balance of eye candy and fps. No problem means 60fps. When I said "high settings" I didn't mean ultra. If he can't afford another graphics card right now, his 770 will play his games just fine at a bit lower settings until he can afford to upgrade his graphics solution. A great panel that displays nice colors and better resolution looks better than all the bells and whistles in the game turned on IMHO.

I don't know why you guys are so scared of gaming on 1440p... I have a GTX580 with 1.5GB of vram and it runs all the games I have at 1440p at high settings no problem. A 770 with 2GB of vram should run most games just fine at 1440p.

Am I the only one that is sick of all the Apple threads?....
