Ahhh, I'm almost leaning towards the 50x just for the extra base in games and the addition of using it on the go. I hear the 50x cables are detachable and the clarity is top notch.

I came across that headset while I was looking. I see it on Amazon for around $160. How great is the sound stage and trebble would you say? Also, I do see the 40x for $100. Is there a big difference in sound quality and sound stage? And last thing, comparing to the 700x how big of a difference is the 50x?

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a 1080p monitor for gaming. I've done a bit of research since there were a few things I wasn't sure of. I've been debating between a TN and an IPS monitor, but I'm almost leaning towards an IPS monitor. I'm simply looking for a monitor with great image quality, well-built/durable, and low response time/input lag. Anything lower than 10 at least. I'm content with a monitor that's 60hz to be frank. Features like G-SYNC, tilt, viewing angles aren't a priority. Ideally, I'm looking for a monitor with a great price as well. Anything from $150-200'sh and is around 24-27 inches; around there. I've come across these monitors: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NRGNGCS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1EG1PSPAL6ZIA http://www.amazon.com/BenQ-GL2760H-27-inch-LED-lit-Monitor/dp/B00IZBIMLK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1440434280&sr=8-1&keywords=27+inch+benq http://www.amazon.com/AOC-e2752She-Response-Earphone-Resolution/dp/B00CMKOVPQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1440434601&sr=8-1&keywords=27+inch+1080p+monitor Any recommendations are welcomed.

Hi everyone, as of recently I purchased A40s and had many problems with the headset. I wasn't impressed. Not to say they were bad, but I wasn't amazed either. I did a ton of research on headphones and found what's essential for gaming headsets. I'm looking for a headset that has high trebble and an amazing sound stage. I came across this guide and it's assisted me in narrowing down my selection. http://www.head-fi.org/t/534479/mad-lust-envys-headphone-gaming-guide-5-31-2015-beyer-cop-and-shure-1540-added# I'm considering this headset which I hear is great: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009S332TQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A9VBWN1Q1U6E6 I was thinking of just buying audiophile quality headphones and just having a separate mic. Any recommendations on both? I usually prefer the best bang for the buck, to be honest. Around $100-$200'sh.

No need to apologize! It was a possibility the PSU could have been damaged based off everything I mentioned. I'll get around to replacing it with one of the PSUs you suggested. (: Thank you very much.

Alright, I just received the new cooler and installed it! Was my first time doing it. Was a bit tedious, but nonetheless I installed it. Have to say it's a night and day difference. The PC never, ever makes obnoxious fan noises anymore. Everything seems cool and no random shut downs so far. When it was idle it stayed around 20 C. I've been playing roughly 30 mins to an hour of Crysis 3 and it's stayed around 38-40 C. Huge difference from before when after only playing Crysis 3 for five minutes it'd reach 83 C and turn off. Thanks so much guys, I greatly appreciate it. Here's the screenshot, btw. http://pasteboard.co/2Hx9teu7.png

@Amp. I see. I was possibly considering borrowing or buying a PSU and see where to go from there. I don't know which PSU would be the best, but I was considering this. http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Warranty-100-W1-0500-KR-Replacement-computer/dp/B00H33SFJU/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1439317598&sr=1-5&keywords=600+watt+power+supply http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Warranty-Supply-100-B1-0600-KR/dp/B00EON40CS/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1439317598&sr=1-2&keywords=600+watt+power+supply Could you please recommend some. The most I'm concerned about is getting a good, affordable PSU for my current rig. I don't intend to upgrade any time soon. @Apollo, I'll definitely consider that, but do you feel there's no way the PSU is at fault? The most I've done for the rig is just upgrade the GPU and upgrade to Windows 10. Everything was left the way it was. Any coolers that are there are the ones that came in the pre-built here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883258050 I did switch the ram around and move removed the CMOs battery for five minutes and put it back in. That resets the BIOs I'd imagine, right? I was thinking that maybe the BIOs just needed to be updated, but probably not. I'll definitely change thermal paste and see where it goes from here. My biggest concern was that as a result of the power surge, possibly some of the components messed up and I'd have to replace either the PSU, CPU, or motherboard. Edit: Apollo, I found a cooler that I'm considering purchasing. What are your thoughts? http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Hyper-212-RR-212E-20PK-R2/dp/B005O65JXI/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1439318926&sr=1-1&keywords=cpu+cooler

GPU: http://pasteboard.co/2DVm5ZqJ.png <- For whatever reason it'll show the CPU screenshot unless you copy and paste. Don't know why.

It took quite some time to get this screenshot, but I finally got it. More times than not when the CPU was at 81 C it would shut off. It made getting the screenshot rather tedious. Here's the link. It went as high as 82-83 C. At one point, once the PC shut off it failed to turn on for quite some time. Few seconds to be frank.

Sorry, I just wanted to be certain. I'm downloading the the programs as we speak. (: Would you say, that this could all be a fault with the OS? I was considering going back to 8 and see if the problem still persists.

I honestly thank the two of you for the advice. @Tim, just a few questions. Is FurMark and Prime95 safe? I was suggested to download Core Tempt to monitor the temperatures for the CPU, but after doing some research I found many users stating it was flooded with viruses. Moreover, are the applications you mentioned free? I'll try and see what the programs tell me and if worse comes to worse I'll buy or borrow a PSU. @Amp, more or less the same question is if HWMonitor has any malware since I was recommended Core Temp, but found that it had viruses.

I'll start by explaining this from the beginning. I purchased a pre-built PC from Newegg around late 2013. I didn't have so many problems with it. It ran perfect and there would be times (though they were rare) that it would shut off randomly, but not like this. My PC had a huge problem prior and I just replaced the graphics card and while it did resolve the issue, there was another I was not aware of. The problem my PC had, was that there was no image showing. This was most definitely due to a power surge occurring. I connected my TV to a power outlet and when I did there were sparks everywhere and it was pretty bad. TV was fried and anything that was connected via HDMI messed up. I use an HDMI splitter for pretty much anything and anything that was connected to it during the power surge, it messed up the HDMI for them. My PS4 was connected via HDMI and while it did work via remote play on the Vita, it showed no image on the TV whatsoever. Same case w/ PS3 (had to use component cables to show an image.) After not using my PC for a while I noticed my PC had the same issue. I tried everything from removing the CMOs battery, waiting five minutes and putting it back in, to changing the slot where the GPU went. Nothing. Just recently I bought a GTX 960 2GB and after installing it, an image showed, but now what happens is that it seems the computer shuts off entirely out of the blue. I downloaded Windows 10 right after it worked so I wasn't able to deduce if it may be a problem with the OS. Regardless, I went and downloaded a ton of games on Steam, Origin, and Uplay. Started downloading it League and Guild Wars 2 and next thing you know it the PC shuts off. Played Blacklist after it finished downloading and it shut off at a particular loading screen. I was able to play it once, but once I was back to the loading screen it shut off. It seems like when the PC is doing a lot of activities at once, it seems to randomly shut off. I just played Tomb Raider maxed out and it was running perfect for two hours until it shut off when I pressed CTRL+TAB to go back to the Desktop screen while playing. Before that though, I left it on overnight to download games and it didn't shut off at all. I genuinely can't figure out the problem. Whether it's an issue with the motherboard, the power supply, or the CPU. I know I wrote quite a lot, but I sincerely thank anyone who's read up to this point.
