If I could trouble the thread with another hardware question, is there a handy way to look at what aftermath I would get from a new processor/motherboard? I got a pre-built cause the idea of spending hundreds of dollars on a pile of pieces that I may be completely unable to put together terrified me. More specifically, I'm looking at replacing my Core 2 Duo with an i5 or i7. Do I need to worry a lot about my hard drives/video card/sound card, etc.?

If I hadn't splurged on the G35 "gaming" headset, I would never be able to annoy the LC mumble with its voice filters. Pro gear for life.

A Fancy 400 lbs posted:I've used friends' gaming mouses before, but never really noticed a big difference between them and my $5 3-button Logitech besides number of buttons and being marginally more comfortable. Is a slightly higher DPI really ever gonna make a difference in anything but fine skill contests besides absurdly talented players?

I know I could never truly appreciate S.T.A.L.K.E.R. without my 40 square miles of Ukrainian wilderness peripheral.

Real men use the huge, hard mousepads with "Speed" and "control" sides. EDIT: And only ever use one side.

Whatever you paid, that all sounds pretty awesome and I'm sure you'll get enough quality playing time out of it to make it worth your while. And hey, no time spent putting it together, bonus!

Samurai Sanders posted:- PC games have pretty much abandoned being able to sell them, but console games are moving in that direction too, they will be the same soon. Edit: Nevermind, you mean people aren't buying computers for the sake of the games to play on them.

Agreed. If anything, this is more a case of throwing steam table scraps than cutting them in on a "flagship" anything.

An MMO? If that's the case I'm guessing it'll be Assassin's Creed-related.

Surprisingly, I've found that N54 controllers from the Donkey Kong 64 console bundle have had the longest lifespan. My translucent, green controller has, to this day, a control stick as tight as as the day I was given it.

When I had this problem it ended up just being an issue of my power supply being inadequate for my hardware. Getting a higher-wattage model has totally fixed it.
