Would you rather....?

Depends on what is considered a bad system. I don't play much competitive multiplayer games, so I would choose a good system over gear.

 

Although I real admit It would be hard for me to use a mouse with low DPI,  even if I was just browsing the web.

I had to live with a CRT monitor, dying AT101W keyboard, and stock Microsoft mouse for almost a year (still have the mouse though). So I can say that I'd rather deal with the bad peripherals rather than a bad system.

I have always had to live with bad system good peripherals, and I have found that the system is what really makes or breaks it for me. I would prefer a better computer than a bad one simply for better keyboard, mouse, etc.

Good system, bad gear... does not compute.

Good system bad peripherals, I'd rather have a system that works great than great looking stuff. My opinion is that the whole point of a computer is this enjoyment of it, can't enjoy it if the computer doesn't work well.

Good question, love it! I would probably go for the good gear with the bad system. I have quite a good computer myself (just check the specs. Value gaming ftw!) but I don't play that intensive games anymore just unity things on the internet ^^ Thanks for posting :3

I live with bad system/bad gear.

You are still doing better than those who live with no system/no gear.

[Balverine]

Bad gear is most likely cheaper to replace and easier.

If I had to choose, I would prefer good/excellent peripherals over a good/excellent box/internal components.

 

Having excellent computer internals means nothing if a crappy mouse is not moving the cursor accurately or if a crappy keyboard's key presses do not respond, etc.  Nothing is more frustrating to me than having to use crappy peripherals.

 

Then I would later focus my attention on improving the computer internals.  In other words, I would first buy excellent peripherals (get that part out of the way), then focus on the computer itself.

Good system and bad gear - but no one's touching my audio stuff

[geforceftw]

I always had "crap" gear until 2 years ago so yeah I'm used to crap gear

[LOST TALE]

Would you guys rather have a good system and crappy peripherals or a bad system with good peripherals  

can you set some exemples anyone can vote from?

[Joshua Ondangan]

I don't mind having crappy system so long as the case is sexy.

[SadTech]

lol, yeah Always would pick a better system.
