alright so my birthdays saturday and ive asked for the above things. right now i have an 8800gt.... i can play CODMW2 on all high settings at 1980x1050 on singleplayer no lag but on MP I need to use 1024x768 and medium settings.... i want to know what i need to run on all high settings with no lag on MP. (around 100 please ) (ive also got 2bg ram and a C2D 3.00)

Also, Ive had a MS wireless optical 2.0 laser mouse for like 8 fucking years. quite honestly its fine but my hands grown and my pinkie gets stiff and twitches while i game. I need something else (preferrably wirless) I like the razer mice cuz theyre flat but im just looking for some opinion.

ive got this shitty hp wireless keyboard... well its okay i guess... but its all sticks (no im not going to wash it) and i want something cooler/new. it needs to be wireless because its in a sliding tray and it cant be too flat because i have one of those palm rest things in front of it.

(:

I'll recommend a mouse- Copperhead or Diamondback if you have smaller hands. Very light, Copperhead also comes with onboard memory where you can store your profile settings so no drivers needed. Both very inexpensive.

For graphics, 4850? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … -_-Product
For mouse, Deathadder is my personal favorite.

I used to love my G5 I use on my desktop but I just got the new Logitech Darkfield and it is by far the best mouse I've ever used.

It works on absolutely everything (even on my uneven duvet), fits your hand perfectly and is wireless. I'd recommend it without a doubt

Mouse: G9
Keyboard: Whatever most suits your needs, if you don't use a lot of programmable keys, they are just a waste of space. I like ones with illiuminated keys. If your looking for something that doesn't take up a lot of room, try the Microsoft sidewinder x6, it has a removable num pad. My Saitek Eclipse II works great, but I don't like the look of it.

GFX: 100 isnt much of a budget. If your mobo can handle sli, your best option is to get another 8800GT. Other than that, sell your current one so that you can have a bigger budget for your new one, because unless you find one hell of a sale, your not gonna milk much improvement from that. If you can get 50 bucks for your current card, it puts you in the 5770 range, which would work nicely.

I don't like the feel of laser mice. My preference is the MX518.

For the keyboard I would recommend the Merc from Ideazon, or if you like backlit keys, you can buy the Steelseries Merc; they are the company that bought Ideazon, but both models are still available.

It should as its quite wider than both Diamnondback and Copperhead. If you have really long fingers then you should go and try Lachesys

Try the Darkfield

Go to a Best Buy or Future Shop or whatever you have and try them out, there are always 20 or so sitting out for you to try

Meh, you should have really bought the Steelseries Ikari as your mouse. Beats anything I've ever tried, including Copperhead, G9, G7, G5, Diamondback.

probably will. i got the setup i just got at bestbuy for 233$, but when i got home i figured out that i can getthe same shit on amazon for 180. so im just going to take the amazon stuff when it comes and return it to bestbuy...... californias loss for being greedy with 9% tax.

and yeah, im pretty sure ill get a 5770 today on newegg. Whats the nvidia equivalent?

By the looks of it, the Sapphire, because it has Copper Heat Pipes on the heat-sink.

Word of advice. Don't buy anything from BestBuy unless it's a price mistake, clearance, or you've got some special coupon. Otherwise, practically anything computer related is overpriced versus Newegg.

Sapphire is better. Better name, better cooling.

nVidia's equiv to the 5770 is probably the GTX 260, but that runs very hot, uses a LOT of power, and only does up to DX 10.1.
