My Pc Upgrade

K well seen as i havnt being playing bf3 this past week, so that i can get my assignments done. To help me get over my lets call it depression, i have gone and upgraded a few things for my setup.





enjoy

I have one thing to say....














































BITCH!!!!!

Awesome !

is that the g19 keyboard? you found anything for bf3 that will work on the lcd? ive got the g510. Also is that the g9 mouse? was looking at upgrading my worn out g500 and was considering the g9, any help would be appreciated! mean setup you got there! but whats under the hood

thanks jas, and sorry exocet, dont worry im not used to it yet, so my skills in game are not as good, and btw tried playing solo kf last night, im not one for scary movies or games, and i have to say, its both good fun, and freaky, but 1player doesnt work too well especially when you get to the later levels where you have to reload and you get swamped.

na havnt found any software yet, but havnt really had a look since it was released. this is the first lot of logitech stuff that i have used, and so far it is brilliant, love my mouse, fav thing of my accessories.

under the hood i got:

intel i7 930 1st gen.
x58a - ud7 motherboard.
as of today since my upgrade 12gb ram at 2000MHz.
5870 gpu.
no ssd as of yet, thats the next upgrade i think.
and enough fans to support a hovercraft.

all of this is nested in an antex 1200 case, which has way too much room.

so yeah that is my baby.

why do you need 12 gigs of ram? do you never close applications or games?

I'll be on soon
I'll 'help' you become acquainted with the games mechanics

hahah, ye basically, but seriously i got a deal that if i bought 3 packs got it for cheaper than the other 2 which i would have needed to buy, so yeah basically was like, this will set me up for a long time to come, so thought that the discount making the 3rd one 2/3 of the price was a good deal. considering they were pretty cheap.

But yes this will now allow me to run bf3 on ultra, and still have all my background apps and other games running, cause i was finding that my system was struggling with ultra settings and all my usual background applications. so yeah. may have gone a bit wild but meh.

Edit: exocet, dont worry think i will pick it up pretty fast just not used to such a big screen. and i tried to set up eyefinity, but the cursor alignment was off by a good 10cm to the right, so gotta have a look at that in more detail.

If I was you the next upgrade would be a bigger desk :p

ye already onto that slato, thinking of trading in my queen bed, for a dining table as a desk.

nice setup.

i got that mouse! mad hey? i set left and right on the scrollwheel to 3 (eg, RPG) and grenade, works nicely.

dude you should totally get the logitech G9X headphones, they are the bomb digaty. worth every cent

ah ha, will look into it as my ones are starting to deteriorate from overuse. ahah

only problem is that they are enclosed so if you have times where you need to be quite.....you're not -_-
That's why I use open ended Headsets

I have the G19 Keyboard too fantastic piece of kit. Just need an ew mouse now, I have a 12 yo optical mouse lol.

Love the screen setup, do you play it on both or just use one screen for gaming and the other for desktop view?

Hahaha, that mouse is lasting well.
But so far i run games just on 1, once i finish exams, i will invest more time into setting up the dual monitor gaming properly.

...um, pardon? open ended, as in open eared headphones are open so they let the sound out. closed eared headphones are designed to keep the sound in.
how on earth are your headphones ever going to be quieter than closed ear?

no, if i am interpreting exocet correctly, open ear doesnt make u yell, closed ear does, because u cant hear the outside noises

aka you can't hear your own voices capacity.
you try clamping your hands over your ears and talk normally to some one.....you have to try and keep your voice down, same thing happens with 'closed' headsets they act like earmuffs, because essentially they ARE!!!! only with a speaker in them. This therefore makes the effect worse by giving the illusion it is even loader than it is OUTSIDE the earmuff...so you end up talking loader than if you were JUST wearing earmuffs....you understand or do you need me to upload a picture :3

bollocks I now need a new monitor -_- I'll post a pick and you have to guess what happened
It's both hilarious, stupid, and well....embarrassing

Next time you feel like investing into a setup your welcome to help m

hahah will do.

got myself a set of turtle beach x11s, it automatic replays what you're transmitting to the headphones, so no need to worry if you're too loud
