Fanboyism at its best.

Should I look at a higher end Turtle Beach headset since I liked the bass so much on my X12.

Maybe if I don't like the bass I could get an amp.

I listen to rock music and some early hip hop music (late 80's and 90's)

How is the bass? I did like the tons of bass on my X12 headset.

I might look at those, they seem pretty good, I'll have to watch some review videos.

I already have a mic on my desk.

I think my Turtle Beach X12 headset has done its job for the past few years and this morning the right speaker gave out. I am dedicating around $200 for a new headset and I am looking for a headset for gaming, listening to music, and everyday use. I want a comfortable headset that sounds great and I can carry around and not have to deal with all the wires my X12 had. Thanks for your suggestions.

That is probably what I will do, off to pcpartpicker.com

But my cpu will be at 100% and my gpu never goes over 70% in GTA V and I've heard Zen is only going to be about as fast as haswell.

Should I upgrade to Skylake now because my Athlon X4 is limiting my gpu in GTA V and it is really annoying (dips below 30 fps at times) or should I wait for Zen which may not be as great as AMD have been saying?

Is this better?

Probably not very well, you could probably get a R7 370 for around $140.

And you were looking at a geforce gt610?

Or OS?

Budget?

Ehh... That is why I am glad I didn't have art this year.

Gaming? You should be able to do basic tasks but why that type of computer?

Has there been any changes to this build since November?

Probably this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-06gp44995kr

Or maybe an Athlon.

R9 380 is usually 10-15% more powerful than a GTX 960.

Maybe a R9 380 instead?
