    Best Budget Gaming Headset

    I used to blow through a lot of headsets until I got the logitech g230s. Adequate sound and mic is good. If you are willing to spend closer to 100$ iv heard the cloud9 headsets are nice. Or do a mod mic and a stand alone headset for better sound quality...

    Buying new "gaming" laptop

    I would consider Toshiba one of the worst laptop brands. Make sure you google the unit you are thinking of buying with the word problems and see what kinds of things people have to deal with. A $1000 is not that much if you go for "Gaming" laptop. Here is one just over $1000...

    Good Gaming Headset around 100$

    If you want something a bit cheaper, I recommend the logitech g230. I used to destroy and go through a lot of headsets, I have had this one almost 2 years and it can be found for like 50$. The sound is fine, mic is great never had any complaints. It's not audiophile level, but most will tell...

    13" Macbook Pro Retina (2015) or alternative for Web Design

    Yeah broadwell i5 vs i7 is not worth the upgrade right now, both are dual cores with HT. You are going to pay a super premium price if you go apple or alienware. There is also a premium price for being super thin laptops. Reviews of the macbook pro say the battery life goes to hell as soon as...

    Reasons to play PC and Console

    Exclusive titles and closed system are the only reason for console gaming. What I mean by closed systems is things like hacking tend to be less rampant on consoles because it's harder to do. (Tho not impossible) It also can lead to more severe consequences like a hardware ban for that console...

    z87 gryphon and i5 4690k question

    Should be fine to install it and see. Most people don't think ahead and this ends up being how they find out they need a bios flash. On bootup checks are done, you might get a cpu light on your mobo to light up if it has one.

    Will my pc handle cs go?

    I think it will suck, as in you will have to run on low and you will get major frame dips. Also a lot of laptop screens do not have the best response time so they just suck in any fps.
