whats ya budget mate? a tad overkill if ya ask me, 6 cores aint going to be used for gaming, a strong quad core would be a wiser investment.

Anything around £2000 would be fine, maybe a little over it. It has been a while since i used anything but a laptop :p. So any input at all would be helpfull

was looking at the logtitech g19 keyboard (£102), a friend has it and it seems very good. has problems with windows 7 apprently but :sweatdrop: also checked out the logitech g930 headset (£129). seems very good..anything along those price lines would be great. just wondering why you said the storm trooper over the haf x? any reasons why?

Razer Black Widow Ultimate Edition :D amazing keyboard, worth every penny. think its about £115

Mouse wise, Razer Mamba at around £95 is brilliant.

Headset, I use Turtle Beach X41's which again I absolutley love. They were atround £150
