[Lachlan287]

I think I have put together a good build. What do you think? (Hasn't been bought yet, although today or tomorrow probably)

I also need to get speakers, keyboard and mouse. Any suggestions welcome.

Looks like a great build. For keyboards, my personal favourites are Ducky Keyboards and fore Mice, I like the Razer Deathadder because it performs well and is cheap.

The build seems solid.

I'd recommend the Microsoft Sidewinder X4 as a budget gaming keyboard. It has anti-ghosting, it's cheap (49.99 on newegg), but it's not mechanical.

If you're not on one, the Logitech G710+ is good. It's mechanical.. 😀

A decent 5.1 speaker set is

It has lots of good reviews and couldn't get a link from Newegg. When I searched it, they were all out of stock...

And... The mouse. Not sure what kind of games you play... but I chose the Corsair Vengeance M65...

Hope this sorta helps..

Gaming wise I play a bit of everything, from WoW to Minecraft. Call of Duty to Amnesia. Mouse doesn't really effect my gameplay much as I am used to Macros on my keyboard.

I am looking at that keyboard currently. My mate has one and says it is the best keyboard he has owned. Bit expensive but I am cool with that.
