I recently tried all three of these. They are all really good and it should come down to personal comfort.
For me, the death adder was no good. I use fingertip grip and just didn't like the feel especially on the pinky side.
The g502 was a decent fit and I would recommend this for a fingertip grip. But I found it slightly heavier than ideal, plus it's really expensive.
I settled on the rival. Very comfortable and light weight. It's a really nice size for larger hands. I love the rubber grip on the pinky side, makes it easy to pick up. I'm not crazy about the thumb buttons but they are ok.
You should know that I'm currently on my 4th copy of the rival in a month. Quality control at the factory must be terrible. I bought an in store warranty just in case, I'm glad I did! What a piece of junk.
Hello everyone! First time posting here, but a long time Linus fan. Lemme get straight to the point: I'm planning on building a new rig, focused on work (3D art/game development) and of course, gaming. I don't really want to spend it that much, but I think I may not have that much of a choice on that matter, and to worse things, I'm from a shitty country where everything is around 3 times of what you would find on the US.
Here's what I've sorta got together using LogicalIncrements as reference and a lot of research:
CPU: Intel i7-4790k
I'm not sure if an i5 is enough, HyperThreading would really help out with some of the software I use daily. Intel is a must, specially related to software compatibility
CPU cooler: CoolerMaster Hyper 212x
Not too exaggerated, mostly just to cool the CPU a bit more since I live on a tropical country. WC is a bit too expensive IMO and I'd rather not risk anything
Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 5
After looking into loads of mobos, kinda settled on this one. Also thinking about Asus Z97-A, Asrock Z97 Extreme4 and Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H. I'll probably base it off the cheapest one I can get
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8) 1600MHz
IMO a must have for the 64bit software I use. Maybe a bit too expensive.
SSD: Crucial MX100 240gb
From what I could find, one of the best PriceXPerformance SSDs, and seems to be quite reliable. Not sure if 120GB is enough for my softwares
HDD: WD Blue 1TB
Possibly expanding with more 1TB HDDs later on, but I think it should be enough for the time being
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 970
NVIDIA is a must for me for the same reasons as the CPU: software compatibility. Originally planned on getting the GTX 770 but the 970 came out. GTX 760 seems to be a bit too weak for my needs and the 780/980 a bit too expensive
Case: NZXT H440
Not much to say, just that I'm pretty much in love with this case. May be a bit hard to find it around here, so I'm considering Corsair's 500R too
Power Supply: Corsair RM650
I'm not that sure if 650w is enough. I'm probably going to have 4-6 USB peripherals connected, plus I think having the possibility of a future SLI would be nice. I'm also considering the CSM650, though I'm not really sure about the differences. If possible modular/semi-modular would be good
Mouse: Razer Deathadder 2013
Apparently has a perfect sensor and I quite like the price and look of it. Not sure how it'll feel with my fingertip grip
Keyboard: Corsair K70
First time getting a mechanical keyboard, probably going for red switches since it's the only thing I can find here
Mousepad: Steelseries QcK+
Never read anything bad about this one. The Goliathus is another option
Headset: HyperX Cloud
Not a big fan of the microphone but from what I've read the sound is really good. Also considering Corsair's 1500v2 and Logitech's G430. I really wanted a wireless one (Corsair 2100/Logitech G930), but the audio quality is probably pretty bad. I don't want a headphone + mic, too expensive around here and I don't want to be bothered with extra wires
Monitor: Dell U2414H
Possibly getting a couple of those. Haven't read much about it, but I trust Dell, and an IPS with accurate colors is a must have
I think i may be going a bit too overboard on some stuff, so I'd absolutely love some suggestions on everything. Is the CPU too much? What about the motherboard? Are the extra 8GB of ram going to help? Would a 120GB SSD be enough? Maybe alternate peripherals? Is the PSU too strong/weak?
Not sure if I feel that comfortable spending so much on a PC (as I said, everything is around 2-3x as expensive here), but I don't want to get a shitty one, but if possible I'd like to make it as cheap as possible.
Again, I'd really appreciate some thoughts on everything so far. Thanks for reading!
