  9. Hi I'm a first time builder and I'm wondering what headset i should get, I currently have a very cheap Hunterspider brand headset that goes for like 20 dollars on amazon so lets just say im not very experienced. For the headset, I would like it to be on the more (actually looks like a headphone instead of a ATC headset look). I would also like it to have a decent mic on it since I want to use it with VR (going to buy a quest when the new version releases and i also have a crappy usb mic from amazon that costed like 10 bucks [CMTECK]) and as you know it ain't so easy to put a usb mic on a vr headset. ear comfortability is also something I'm looking for along with actual good high def audio (going to buy a b550 gaming carbon wifi with my new build). I have a pretty skinny head compared to most so i dont have too hard of a time when it comes to the clamping force of a headset put on the head (however, i would still like good ear cusioning) I'm currently looking at these headsets: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VSHL7V6?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B32GY9Z?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1 Note: i chose to link se version of the virtuoso over the regular one because i feel more comfortable with it being more metallic makes it feel more cleaner and more durable to me
  10. I see thank you, I'll keep an eye out for that tomahawk then.
  11. currently seeing the x570 tomahawk going for over 300 on newegg and amazon (amazon only has the available from these sellers thing): https://www.newegg.com/msi-mag-x570-tomahawk-wifi/p/N82E16813144310?Description=x570 tomahawk&cm_re=x570_tomahawk-_-13-144-310-_-Product while the gaming carbon goes for around 200ish on newegg goes for 219.99 which is only 12 dollars more than the gaming edge on newegg and 25 more than the edge on amazon: Gaming carbon wifi: https://www.newegg.com/msi-mpg-b550-gaming-carbon-wifi/p/N82E16813144322 Gaming edge wifi (newegg): https://www.newegg.com/msi-mpg-b550-gaming-edge-wifi/p/N82E16813144324 Gaming edge wifi (amazon): https://www.amazon.com/MSI-MPG-B550-Gaming-Motherboard/dp/B089CQFHHZ/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=b550+gaming+edge&qid=1595599812&s=electronics&sr=1-1

Also any headset recommendations? I would prefer something with a nice earcup since my main concern currently is comfortability to audio performance. I'm currently stuck between the virtuoso and the steelseries arctis pro (the wired version). I would like it too look like an actual headphones since i will be using them outdoors from time to time (don't want to look like a ATC worker in walmart XD)
  13. in which case should i just go with the everest core? the everest max just has all those periperhals but the core only comes with the keyboard itself with everything else to be added seperatly like that media control. in which case i may do that since i basically never use numpads and i constantly tab out a lot of my game/software to see whats going on in the rest of my pc so that media control would actually be very helpful to me. other than that it pretty much everything else i could ask for in a keyboard
  14. Hi sorry that im replying so late, but as for the keyboard comment what are your thoughts on this? https://mountainggshop.com/collections/keyboards/products/everest-max?variant=33374555635845 It seems like its gonna be a really good keyboard and it can switch the keycaps ,switches, numpad, and the media dock whenever neccessary (numpad and media dock can be placed on both sinces of the keyboard as well) the numpad has streamdeck like keys on the top to act as in housed shortcuts to applications like discord,steam,chrome,etc. and that media thing is amaze balls
