Gaming PC Builds

[Marceaux]

Yo, I am looking for a new headset. And preferably wired. Which has phenomenal audio quality aswell as very comfortable ear cups. I don't mind the price. I had a few wireless headsets now like the A50 from Astro, but they always give up on me for some reason. Does anyone know some good ones? I'm kind of an audiophile person because I listen to a lot of music as well. I do understand that wired headsets might not give audio quality as good as wireless give in some cases but, I am sure there are some good ones out there.

You have it backwards, wired headsets usually give the best audio quality.

If you are looking for something budget friendly and you need a gaming headset with a mic. I would highly recommend the SteelSeries Arctis 5 headset. Excellent mic and really good audio with many nice features. You can often get them on sale as well.

if you're looking for the best sound I think you can't go wrong with anything from audio technica, bose or beyerdynamic, but you'd need a standalone mic obviously

other than that I've been using logitech g pro x headset and both sound and mic are superb for a gaming headset

Audio-Technica actually started doing headsets a while back and from what I hear they are really good actually.

There are some cheaper options but in the UK they are like only £10 cheaper so its like well why not get the better ones for that difference.

What’s the best build I could get for like $1200-1500. Would I be able to get a 30 series card and still be chillin with the rest of the setup

Not a 30 series card these days, not unless you want to be on a waiting list for many months.

Not sure about what you can get in the US, but for about £1200 GBP recently I built this for my nephew:

2080ti (second hand we can get deals for like 400-500
R9 5900x (new) £420 (on sale new) - Stock cooler initially, now they put a aio in it
1000w corsair psu £150
16GB Corsair RAM £100
Case I already had, worth about 90
Some drives I had laying around, probably worth like 200. Couple SSD's for boot and games + a HDD
MSI WiFi Motherboard around £180


Would be a bit over your budget but its for editing and gaming, you should drop down to a 5700x but even then a 3700x would work basically the same and would save you loads.

If you need help, I helped Wastee build a pc which he hasn't had an issue with from when I last spoke to him, drop me a message I don't mind.

That's the basics for $870, minus a graphics card (buy used) and a case which is personal preference for the most part.

Its really sad rn tbh, you could build a great PC for under $1k in 2019. Now you're just completely fucked.

I mean if you really wanted to go all the way, some of AT's broadcast headsets are like $150-200 and they sound pretty good. I know a lot of events have used them because they are pretty cheap. Personally I have the BPHS1 which I got for like 150 on ebay and it's good though I do just use a standalone mic and headphones most of the time.

Just pre ordered the 512GB Steam Deck - It looks like exactly what I want from a laptop. Can open any application I might need to use yet also play games in a handheld form factor.

Will be using this to replace my travel laptop which is the Dell Workstation 3530 which is a chonker. Only thing is we don't know much about the OS
