I have generic peripherals (default/garbo headphones, somewhat decent mouse, etc.), which part would you guys recommend I get first?

I mostly play FPS games, can't really decide whether to get decent headphones or a mouse (currently own ROG Sica).

 

*i'm not in the US so the prices are a bit higher than Amazon's or w/e.

G502 is a great mouse, I have it. Has a real nice weight to it (and can even be adjusted), and has a rest for your thumb. My one problem with it is that there is no pinky rest.

nailed it, moving well doesnt matter if you cant aim worth a crap or hear anyone coming. And unless their total garbage keyboards just dont feel as good, thats the only dif

Fanboys are the worst thing to happen to the tech community World. Chief among them are Apple fanboys.

MOUSE! Mouse first, at all times.

I can't suggest any mouse over the G502. It's sensor is dead on, and offers a ton of features for the price.

I also wouldn't suggest anything Razer. My personal experience with them has not been great. Their products are often overpriced for their performance.

 

If you feel that your mouse is already OK, I'd then get some good headphones.

However, if you don't have the G502, then you need an upgraded mouse. :)
