Gaming Peripherals

Corsair K95 RGB with Cherry MX Brown switches (Bday gift. I hate mechanical keyboards but this was the only RGB keyboard with 18 macro keys at the time. I DESPISE razer products just saying.)

Mad Catz Rat Pro X Gaming mouse (Won this in a contest Madcatz was having.)

Corsair 1500 headset (Seriously the most comfortable headset I have ever owned in my 20 years of gaming)

Lastly my monitor

Sanyo 52" Class LCD 1080p 120Hz HDTV , DP52440 (There is no lag on this what so ever. I love being able to sit 5 feet away.)

Please note that my motherboard has a streaming engine on it. I currently stream on twitch using Xsplit Broadcaster. My frames never dip below 100 FPS even with in dungeons or raids on the setup stated above.

My recommendation? Get a system like mine if you can afford it. Although pick up to date parts.


My system is currently overclocked with the OC Genie button on my botherboard to 4.0 GHZ. All are within acceptable and good ranges for a modest overclock such as mine. That is why I recommend MSI motherboards.
