Nothing worth buying under that price tag, sorry. You'll only ge frustrated by the inability of running games on decent graphic settings at acceptable frame rates. And pre installed led? Seriously?

950 bucks is sort of enough for mid level desktop gaming pcs. But it's not good enough for a gaming laptop. In the case of laptops, you always end up paying more (than desktops) to get less performance. Unless you really need to carry the laptop sometimes with you, just get a desktop pc (and...

Just look for a laptop that has a 860m, 870m, 880m, 970m or 980m as video card. If you're going with 860, get one with a maxwell chipset instead of kepler. Maxwell are more powerfull and run much cooler. 970m and 980m are all maxwell. They will all certainly come with an i7 4700 cpu or better...

50 ohm or more normally requires an amp. And for a head bass headphone it's even more important. I though about recommending the 770 but I didn't say anything because of the price, but since we're talking about the 598 anyways..... Today I decided to install the audio drivers for my mobo's...

That's because the connection is analog (3.5mm), not digital (usb). There's a lot of noise inside your laptop. On a pc, high end mobos have isolation technologies to minimize electromagnetic interference. Same goes for sound cards, which are essentially amps/dac. What I would suggest is to get...

The 598 is definitely superior. Better soundstage and clarity. The 558 is indeed bassier, but none are really bassy. The only exception is the HD 650 as I said before. If you're really into heavy bass, Senns are not for you. Truth be told, you can't get much with 120 bucks only. Even on top of...

First, I think it's a bit crazy thinking about getting a headset to go out and listen to some music. Commuting headphones exist for that. Settle down on your pc with whatever you get. Second, all the options are bad IN MY FREAKING OPINION. My advice is to go with a Sennheiser Game One (they're...

Senneheisers are gonna be a bit more pricey, but they're better. Pc360, Gaming One and HD 558 are all in the same league.

Astro's are high regarded in this range of price for a GAMING headphone.

Try different usb ports. If it doesn't work, try plugging a usb flash card and see if the computer reads it. If it does, the problem might be with your printer, and you'd have to change it. If it doesn't your motherboard is defective and can't read through usb anymore.

Well, seems to be the right one for me then. I just found Asus N550JK to be quite good too. I had a terrible experience with a gaming laptop from asus in the past, but I suppose they fixed all those terrible things by now.
