(Except me, I'm pretty damn awesome. lmao.. if only) It really depends on personal preference. If it's a mouse that you can use comfortably and it does exactly what you expect it to ingame, it's a good mouse, whether it's a Microsoft OEM optical mouse or an alien-looking thing like that R.A.T 7. As far as specs go, it's a quality piece of gear. Never used one myself, so all I can say is that it looks pretty scary. lol And for building prices, these guys have it right.

AMD is phasing out their 1090T and 1100T 6 cores PHENOM II to make room for the Zambezi 8cores (codenamed BULLDOZER) There will be a lot of deals on AMD (if you're strapped for cash BAD). They're equivalent to the Intel's last generation Q9550 and Q9650... If you fork only a little more, the Intel Sandy bridge 2500K is where it's at price/performance. Of course, the 2600K is a little better for encoding, but for gaming, the 2500K is more than fine! and you can put the $100 difference on more graphics power, a 64GB SSD boot drive, or a kick-ass aftermarket cooler to Overclock your new CPU...

Work on getting a fast hard drive weather you use a combo of SSD and machanical or not then memory and get a good qualtity power supply like a Corsair or OCZ wrap it up in a good case that flows good air ( some of the more expensive cases suck) I run cooler Master cases, good cases good flow and they don't gouge you on price. I would not buy a case with power supply already installed, in most they are garbage. PS I use Logitech for keyboards and mice... I think they are the best!!!

A mouse starts being good when it fits your hand find that and then move up the ladder. My idea for a gaming computer via the cost anything after about a thousand bucks you can start doubling you cost per part for a little more speed. So if you decide to go over lets say 1200.00 bucks don't cheap out on your self go straight to the good stuff and spend about 2500.00 bucks. Everything in the middle and you will find yourself swapping out parts because this one was a better then the one you got symdrome. Remember an average PC with a great video card will put you in the top 5% of gamers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I like the heavy feel and the weight is ajustable. The one bad point I found is the thumb buttons don't jive with my thumb so I have to find a new thumb. It's totaly adjustable so you can adjust it to fit your hand. On my old mouse my hand would creep backwards off the mouse making it hard to press the buttons. On th e RAT I put on the bigger plates and no more creeping. I lied, there is a sharp edge on the replacement pinkie plate that rubs my finger a little. Good mouse overall and for $75 hard to beat. As a note I've had 6 mouses so have a fairly good idea as to what I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
