@ssddx Probably should've mentioned this, but I record with a desktop mic (on a boom, Blue Snowball); Would those open headphones leak enough sound to be heard from a mic ~1ft away from the mic? And are there any similar closed ear options? I'd like to be able to use these without other folks...

Right, so, my Logitech G930's just crapped out on me (plastic in the rim broke, liquid plastic wouldn't hold together. Also, yeah. they're not a great headset, but I got them for 20$ from a friend), and I need a new headset. I've looked at a few, and right now, I'm stuck between the Hyperx Cloud...

Oh dang, pretty much everything seems better about the 2nd one xD That's definitely looking like the best option, thanks!

So I'm planning on upgrading my PC in a couple months (from FX-6300 and R9 270x, to i7 5820k and GTX 1080 along with everything required) and I'm also looking to upgrade my monitor setup. I've currently got an old 27" 1080i TV (looks terrible), and a little ??" 1280x1024 square monitor as a...

Thanks Dan, I'm going to be picking up a Blue Snowball soon (the non-ice version, got a good price), they seem like the best option!

So i'm looking to get a better mic for my YT videos (better than my headset, which could be pretty much anything), and I came across this one. From reviews, it sounds really good for the price, and it would be perfectly fine for my videos. People are saying, however, that it requires phantom...

Sorry to necro (maybe?), but the mouse I've been using for quite a while is the Etekcity Scroll X1. It was about 15$ USD when I got it, and it's been absolutely fantastic. Aside from maybe more buttons in the future (which is unlikely), I see literally no reason to buy a new mouse. It's got 5...

@rhysiam Hum, well that's a bit disappointing. I've done a bit more research, though, and it seems like some folks are having success installing Win10, not activating immediately, and activating after getting in the OS with the automated phone service. I've had to do this a few times before with...

@Ecky Ok, thank you. Yeah, I don't intend to go to a smaller case in the future, don't really have a need to, but that's something to consider. 2800 ram, eh? And here I thought 2400 was fast, but I am coming from DDR3-1600 lol. I'll look into that for sure.

Hi, so I've had my PC for a while, and I'm looking to upgrade it soon. I'm going to go for a 6700k, which seems like the best (not ridiculously expensive) CPU for gaming and such right now. With that, however, I will also need a new MOBO and new ram. So, I was thinking something like this. And...

This is my full build (sorry, could've sworn i linked it): http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Jtpetch/saved/vwNgXL And the PSU is an EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply. I'm leaning more towards the 390 here now, just for future proofing (8gb vram), and the fact that editing could really...

I've been looking to upgrade my R9 270x to either a GTX 970 or an R9 390, and I'm not sure which one to get. I'm not going to be running 4k, just a single 1080p monitor and a 2ndry 1280x1024 monitor (not used for gaming) I've watched countless benchmark videos, read many reviews, and skimmed a...
