What to upgrade Next?

[Imabigmac]

Okay so soon I will be buying another item for my PC but I just don't know what. My rig is fine as far performance and looks and my peripherals are decent, But I want moarrrrr!!! I have a budget of $200 but I could spend more but that depends.

My ideas, I'm not sure whats make more sense. Opinions?

1 Brown switch mechanical keyboard

2. New quality headphones and a mic. To replace my Logitech G35 headset, I have no clue even where to begin with audio.

3. A cheaper option a new "windowed" side panel for my Phantom 630, which only has half a windowed but I buy the windowed panel now.

4. Another SSD, I figure I could add another 120GB ssd fairly easily and cheaply rather than buying a 256GB ssd and reloading windows. Of course not sure if I could all my Origin games 3 different drives. I made a thread about it but I'm still unsure: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/121964-is-it-possbile-to-have-origin-games-on-3-different-drives/#entry1623732

I am open to other suggestions, but I just want to see what you guys think is the best thing to "upgrade"

2 but maybe increase your a budget a wee bit more if you can because i dunno how good audio u can get for 200$

that was the one option I was maybe willing to spend more on, I'm just not sure out that would cost and or where to even begin with good audio headsets.

Get a Mechanical Keyboard.

It's like an SSD:

im a noob in audio too but i hear everyone saying the audio technica ath m50s are really really good and not that expensive. for mic i have no clue the only mics i know from the top of my head are that Yeti mic(blueball yeti or something??) and Samson Meteor mic.

I personally would go for the mechanical keyboard. I don't really hear sound differences from cheap to expensive headphones.

[dizmo]

Keyboard for sure.

So you don't think another ssd or headphones are a worthwhile upgrade?

Another SSD no. But that might be more of a personal thing I don't like having my data spread out across more than 2 drives.

Headphones, maybe. The M50's are decent. But you already have a gaming headset, and if you don't have a problem with it I'd just keep it for now.

The mechanical keyboard would be the most noticeable improvement (I'm assuming) over what you have now. Have you tested the switches to make sure brown is what you want?

[Musikman]

I would get the keyboard and the window for your case. Might I recommend the Corsair K70 with Browns.

I've always wondered. Where can people test the switches/keyboard (in CAN)? Just go to a local store and ask them if they will let me test it? As far as I've seen, I'm pretty sure the Cherry MX Blues are the only ones that are already out for sample usage.

If you go into a computer store they might have some set up.

A lot of the boxes have a cut out and let you test the keys.

Or, you can pay $10 to order a little pcb that has one of each type on it. That's what I'd do, if you can't find anything else.

I have played wih a friends blue and used a g710+ at ncix awhile ago and I do prefer the browns, that and they seem to fit my needs. I have a logitecg g510 which has the little LCD screen on it.

I have a G510 as well, I actually quite enjoy it although I only use the LCD screen for either time or the RSS news feeds.

I'd go browns then, sounds like you have a pretty good grasp on it. The blacks/reds I don't think are as nice.

[Yummychickenblue]

Well I would probably go for a monitor to add to your old one(s) and MKHD has a top 5 headphones for under 200 dollars but it is pretty old. and people say good things about the blue snowball mic

  I use my LCD for evga precision, I do still enjoy it though, that's why I am more for a bigger ssd as that would help the system, but I just don't know

Not buying another monitor for awhile, I have used up all my desk space as it is.

If you went with another SSD I'd probably save up for something bigger. With todays games 120gb is filled up too quickly. I'd save up for a 500GB and store games on it. You only need another $70 to get one of those.

I think you quoted the wrong person

seems legit

[SebastianThorn]

I think you should go with the keyboard, I have the k70 Cherry Mx red, and It's awesome in my opinion.
