And what if it was a cx 500 holding on?

EDIT: My bad 😁

Think my current power supply can handle 2 X Sapphire Dual-x 7850 2GB?

Jeffrey Peterson said:People on other boards have been debating those two models for ages, and the consensus always seems to land on the Jabra Evolve.

If I end up offloading my current pair, I’m definitely grabbing those Bose QuietComfort. All I ever hear about them is how good they are. 🙂

I'm probably just gonna go with the Hurricane Katrina, idk. They just seem like a better fit for me than the Jabra ones.

Like the title says, I'm torn between these two headsets. I need something that can handle serious gaming sessions but also sounds decent when I'm just chilling and listening to music. Has anyone here actually spent some time with either of these? What’s the verdict on which one would actually get the job done better?

That i5 processor isn't going anywhere for at least three years, IMO. By then, who knows how much more powerful everything will be? You might just end up swapping out everything except the case (since you usually don't reuse an old PSU when building fresh). You’ll probably need a new GPU in a couple of years if you want to crank up the settings on everything, but the power supply should hold up fine—unless you go for some crazy dual-chip setup. 😬

I'm not chasing ultra settings or anything, just want things to run smoothly. Bit of an off-topic question though: roughly how long until an HD 7850 becomes the absolute bare minimum to even launch the latest games? ;D

So, I recently picked up a gaming rig running an Intel I5 3350 p, an HD 7850 Sapphire 2, and a 500GB WD Black. For power, I grabbed this unit. Is this actually decent for future-proofing? I’ve been hearing some chatter that the 12V+ rail on these isn't exactly top-tier. 🤷 Basically, am I going to be able to just drop in a much beefier CPU and GPU in a few years once my current setup hits its limit? Or am I looking at having to swap out the PSU for something higher-end down the road?

The monitor's gotta be from AMD, and I’m honestly not sure if what these guys picked out for me actually hits the mark. All I really wanted was an Apple 23'' with an IPS panel—I can't even remember the specific tech name they use on Apple monitors 🤷

EDIT: Look, keeping it simple. I just want an Apple 23'' IPS monitor bought from AMD. Nothing else matters.

EDIT 2: Fine, I think I'll just go with this one

Man, this guy over at ADM just dropped this monitor in front of me what's the verdict? Msm, I basically ask him for a recommendation and he just shoves this specific one in my face lol

Benjamin King2 said:You can grab one at Walmart if you really want to, doesn't matter. There's some feedback on the keyboard floating around here:

Never heard of that mouse.

The link's broken, man. And how am I supposed to tell if a mouse is actually good? I can't just walk into a store right now because I'd have to drive all the way from San Diego to LA just to check it out.😢

Yeah, looks like I’m gonna have to back off the big budget idea. So, let me ask one more time—if I’ve got $200 total, can I get a mouse that actually feels like a gaming mouse plus a keyboard for another $200? Or maybe less? Honestly, I've seen cheaper stuff, but who knows if it's actually any good:

Keyboard:

Mouse:

I see you guys recommending Portio for peripherals. Do they do free shipping there? And how long does delivery usually take? Also, is it better to just grab everything from one shop, or is it fine to split it up between a few different places? 🤷 I really dig this specific look for the keyboard and mouse combo, so that's what I'm leaning towards.

Pad:
Keyboard:

Have you actually used a pad with a built-in palm rest before, or why are you specifically hunting for one? Those things are pretty hard to find, and honestly, they usually just drive up the price of the whole setup for no reason (like with the Razer Vespula).

Oof. Isn't that mouse a bit pricey? My math was looking more like this: $200 for the mouse, maybe $200 for the keyboard, $300 for speakers, $300 for headphones, and then $100 for the pad. Though, I might skip the speakers altogether if I just stick to the headset.

Hey, I’m looking to set aside some cash specifically for $333 peripherals: a decent headset (gamer style with a mic), a gaming mouse and keyboard combo (I want something legit, not those cheap office knockoffs), maybe some speakers (not a huge priority if it blows my budget since I'll mostly be on the headset), and an ergonomic mouse pad with that wrist rest. Don't worry about the monitor.

Look, just head over to the overclocking subforum. You'll find him right there at the top of the list. Just scroll through and check out what people are actually saying after they push their clocks—everything you need to know is laid out clearly enough right there. 🙂
