What CPU do you have? My personal rule is I do not buy a new computer part until I will see double the performance in games/productivity applications. If you don't know what to buy and your computer is fast enough, save your money. There is always some new tech around the corner and when it appears, you can buy it on day one because you saved your money.

 

Refer to post above this one.

what do you think of the logitech g633 headsets?

ah. I tried a pair and well for $150 I think someone really has to be mental to buy those. 

 

Edit. Ok so they are not bad, But for $150 there are bad. If you know what I mean. Its like a $40 headphones $5 mic $10 RBG lighting, $15 for useless buttons. And the rest in marketing.

It looks decent, but I always recommend headphones + a desk mic

I'd just save your money. There isn't anything that will really improve that computer.

You could get a mechanical keyboard, but if you're fine with the K30..why change it.

I guess you won't be buying anything computer related for 5 or 6 years eh ;)

what headphones + desk mic?

If u dont mind open sound than a HD 558 + a Mod mic will be a fair bit better. If you want closed than a ATH m40x + mod mic is great. 

 

I don't exactly prefer desk mic because it is prone to picking up vibrations. 

 

But it really depends on what you are into. Like what types of music. And if you are in a quiet room or not.
