1500$ Rig, Need Opinions and Advice..!

[NeelanCruzz]

So, I configured the PC, and I need your opinion on how i can improve it But I don't wanna Go beyond the 1500$ mark. 

My Build has Kinda Black and Blue Stuff so I needed a Good Gaming Headset with a Mic,

I have heard good Things about the Audio Technica M50x but it doesn't have a Mic and I'm not a Fan of ModMic..Sorry,

So Need a Headset and Keyboard(Mechanical) and a Mouse, and Anything that I can Change and Improve in the Build.

Do note that I'm gonna Import the Parts to India, I think Through a Friend(In USA) or maybe buy it and Import it Myself through the amazon.

I know that I have to pay a Hefty Fee to pass through Customs and Shipping, So I Also needed your thoughts On how i can Get the Parts Shipped to India by a Cheaper and Safer way.

 

I'm Importing the parts Because the prices of all the components is 100$ more in Indian E-commerce websites, and especially with CPU,GPU and SSD are Overpriced by 150$ as compared to the prices on Amazon US.

 

Thank You!

Look at the turtle beach headsets I like them

Get rid of that PSU and get a EVGA 550 GS/G2 instead. The NEX series are mediocre at best.

 

I'd also prioritise getting an IPS monitor rather than a TN one.

Best to ignore the advertised response times. They vary during testing and you will notice no difference at all. Literally nothing as proved by this: http://www.humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime

I would get a R9 390X instead of the nvidia card.

Also you can get windows cheaper on Kinguin.net.

The xeon 1231v3 is essentially an I7-4790 without the integrated graphics, but since you have a dedicated graphics card, that shouldn't matter what so ever.

Theres 16gbs of ram, meaning you won't have to worry about bottlenecking from 8gbs (which we're starting to see today)

A cheap, solid performing cpu cooler so that the xeon can stay at max frequency even when it gets balls to the wall hot over there in india, while also staying nice and quiet.

Generic 240gb ssd for faster boot, and a 1tb drive for mass storage.

390 over the 970, better performance, same price.

144hz asus gaming panel. Yea, it's not ips, but its also not a total shit tn panel.

Thank You so Much ! but are your sure with the R9 390 because I have Heard many people say that Intel-Nvidia Build is better than a Intel-Amd Build...Im no Expert so I dont know...

Bah, just fanboy garbage.

Gotta look at the actual performance of the parts, and when you do that the 390 comes out just ahead of the 970 across the board, and significantly better at higher than 1080p resolutions.
