      Why did you get so much wattage? The gtx 750ti is so power efficient...

      This is my beautiful setup right now lol
      [​IMG]

      PC (Monitor and keyboard/mouse included) - $1075
      Xbox One (plus headset) - $550
      Xbox 360 - ~$150
      I've spent probably over $2000 in this setup if you include games and other misc devices.

      I can't get over how sexy your setups are.
      Lets see if I can remember what I have in my computer! xD

      Built summer of 2012.
      Intel 3rd Gen i5 3570k 3.4Ghz
      16GB Kingston DDR3 ram
      Asus P7somethingrather motherboard (lol)
      EVGA GTX 770 2GB GDDR5
      WD 1TB HDD
      750W power supply (I can't remember the brand for the life of me)
      An Ultra Gladiator half decent looking case that glows blue and has 10+ USB ports (half of which crapped out, though).

      Externals:
      Seagate 2TB external HDD
      BENQ 25" HD LCD Monitor (<3)
      ThermalTake gaming keyboard (glows red and has 10 programmable keys and a hand cooling fan - LOL).
      Anker 8000DPI gaming mouse (with 3 programmable buttons and adjustable sensitivity)
      Creative Labs Tactic Rage 3D Wireless Gaming Headset
      2 iHome speakers (which are suprisingly powerful... Until you break them)
      A PS3 that I haven't touched in ages
      A lamp.

      No pics will be provided due to how horrible my setup looks. Wires everywhere, 25 year old desk (falling apart, I may add) with paper and boxes piled on it.

      Depends on how much money you have to spend. They are more comfortable, but rarely do they provide an advantage.

      Yes. Especially a mechanical keyboard. None of my friends understood the price point of this thing ($130), but it's worth every penny. I use the Corsair K70 with Cherry Reds, and it's been wonderful so far. Really solid, and the keys feel great. Plus, back-lighting is fun when lights are closed.

      For the mouse, yes it makes a difference, but it's not as big. Still love my mouse (Corsair M65), and would recommend if you have the money. The DPI adjustment buttons right on the mouse are so nice, and the sniper button too.

      Updated album, got some new peripherals...

      Stock fans had a defect, but they were generally loud. Startup was especially awful haha, but that's normal. The Noctua ones are extremely quiet, and do not go over 1200RPM, so it's always quiet, even under heavy loads while still keeping the CPU cool.

      I built one around a year and a half ago and hasn't slowed down at all. Cost around $1000 back then, probably one of the best investments I've made lol.

      Specs:

      AMD FX-4350 (Quad Core) Processor at 4.2 GHz
      Sapphire Radeon 7950 3 gb graphics card
      8 gb Corsair (I believe) 2200 MHz ram
      1 tb 7200 RPM Corsair caviar blue hard drive (for files and games and such)
      120 gb Samsung SSD (for OS and programs)
      500 w power supply (can't remember the brand)
      MSI 970A-G46 (MS-7693) mobo
      1x Hanns-G HL273 27" monitor
      1x Acer H226HQLBID 21.5" monitor
      All housed in a Cooler Master HAF 912 case

      Razer DeathAdder 2013 mouse
      Microsoft SideWinder X4 Keyboard

      Coolest thing (that the camera couldn't pick up) is that when I've got the lights off, the three primary colors are emitted all over the room from the PC itself, the keyboard, and the mouse.

      And here's a pic of the desk:
