Hey guys, looking to get into computing seriously now that I've left Uni and since I want to actually be able to play good computer games and start seriously with my web design, I've come to you guys in the hope that you'll steer me in the right direction.
I've also gone for a few Razer products including the mouse, keyboard and headset, let me know if you think this is a bad idea too?
Also bare in mind that I'm looking at this as a base that I can add on to/upgrade as I need.
Now I'm not amazing with hardware, especially compared to a lot of you guys from what it seems, but I've put this together with some inspiration from the forums here:
