Piktek has always been one of my favorite companies to get low priced computer mice from, and they've done it again with this great gaming mouse.

The design of this product is very high quality for the price range. It's made out of a light plastic but feels robust in the hand. The design is sharp making it one of the nicest looking mice in this price range. The different colored LED's make parts of the mouse glow many different colors, as controlled by the software or buttons on the top of the mouse. It fits very comfortably in my hand, and my hands are slightly large. The mouse cord is a standard rubber that seems like it should last if handled with care.

The clickyness of the mouse is not too loud and is not too soft. The scroll wheel moves fluidly, and all the extra buttons seem to be in a good place. Although the mouse is unfortunately light, for this price range you can't expect anything else. With that said, some people actually prefer light mice for their quicker reaction movement time. The mouse performs well with the laser tracking, and the adjustable polling speed is great for gamers who want to quickly change mouse speed when switching to different games.

Overall, this mouse is probably the best gaming LED mouse for the price range. It boasts a high quality design, acceptable tracking, aesthetically pleasing LED colors, and great software features that should meet any budget gamer's needs. I was provided this product for a review, but it remains honest and I do recommend this product to any budget gamer. See my high-quality photos below for a more detailed and up-close look.

WOW, I never considered a GPU at this price would really be able to play nearly ALL of my games! When you consider this gpu was released a few years after the xbox 360 and the playstation 3, you can understand what to expect from it (atleast games that are very well optimized anyway :D) A great example being dark souls 2. I can run that game on medium settings at a very stable 30-40 frames per second at 1080p resolution! HOWEVER, don't expect to be playing big titles like battlefield 4 or crysis 3, even at lowest possible settings it was impossible to see, but the system is aged also, so experiences in that regard may vary.

IN SUMMARY: If you want to play most games on pc at med/low settings while retaining a good frame rate, for $30 you'd be silly not to take this deal.

I had bought this item as a very very early Christmas present for last year. I waited this long to post this review since i wanted to make sure that it would still be running perfectly and it is. I had a few things with it where i had to restart the computer but that was my own doing. This can run almost any game on their highest resolution granted i am using a 32" TV as a monitor. Be aware that if you do use a 32" TV please use a lower resolution settings currently i am using 1366x768 and everything runs nice and smooth, i used to run this powerful machine on 1920x1080 and only a few games would run but they would lag lowering down my resolution fixed any issues that i had. Overall this is a fantastic gaming computer for any beginner or anyone that is going to college and is on a budget. seriously the best computer I have ever owned and i can play all my favorite games, stream movies in HD it is fantastic.

The only component I did not know much about in a computer was the video card, because I was never into PC gaming. I've been learning more and more, I understand the the AMD 5k, 6k, 7k works now.

I took a leap of faith and I am so glad I took it on this card. I agree with other reviews this is probably the best you can get for under a hundred. I play games (24 inch screen) occasionally and I am so pleased with the performance. I also use this to play my Blu-rays to a 40 inch LCD, there is 1% stutter but I am sure its the program I am using. I only play games on my PC that I couldn't have bought cheaper for my Xbox nor my PS3.

Please have a good power supply before you buy this, just because it doesn't require a 6 pin connector doesn't mean it's going to do what you want flawlessly with 200-300Watt PSU. I'm at 500 watts. I'm using all three outputs, but your only able to have 2 displays at once, I'm ok with that.

I don't know how to check FPS, so don't ask, I'm still new a PC gaming. The games I have tried are as follow, I'll include price also >>

$2.50 : Plants Vs Zombies >> Doesn't require a lot of fancy graphics, so no comment.
$3.30 : Portal >> Looks as good as it's going to get

$7.50 : Sonic Generations >> Looks fine, It does lag slightly but then again it is SONIC, and he is going to demand speed, I turned down the  >  resolution to 16XX by something

$4.99 : Need For Speed Hot Pursuit (2011) >> I was so happy how great this game looks and that this video card could handle it, I had played this game >  a couple hours on the PS3, I can't tell much a difference.

All in all I love this card, I'm starting to want to buy a HD 6950, but I'm trying to control myself

I have to say, this has to be the best budget gaming headset that there is. I really needed a headset that had a mic and headphone analog jack, and this seemed to be the best option. As I do, I go through reviews online and videos. I finally realized that this would be the best option.

The ear cuffs fit over my ear, which I really love. Makes them so much comfortable to use. The sound quality for the price is excellent. I used to use a pair of Beats Solo 2s, and I can hardly tell the difference. The price to performance on these headphones is perfect. They are very flexible, and the ear cuffs fold sideways for better comfort when resting them on your shoulders. The mic folds up so it doesn't get in the way when not using. The finish on the headphones makes it look worth a lot. One issue, which is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5, is because these ONLY come in red. There are no color options for these headphones, and the only other way you can get another color, which is blue, is by purchasing the G430s, which are $15 more. I was originally going to get those, but these were red and I needed red items to match my setup. However, these are basically the same thing as the G430, and I am well over happy with purchasing these!

Most bang for your buck, can play all games above 40+ FPS on customized max ultra settings with no delay/input lag in crowded areas and about 50+ fps in open enviromental areas. I have an i5 quad core 4670K Haswell, the best i5 to date and with a Coolermaster HAF 922 mid tower, this baby barely gets to 60 celcius with max settings on MMO's. If your playing game genres like RPG's/Racing/Sports games, this will give you the best stats for the price its listed. Then on top of that you get 3 games of your choosing, which 2 of them out of the bunch are newly released this month, saving you 120 bucks right there. Couldn't ask for a better deal!!!.

I've bought at least 10 of these by now and they've all worked flawlessly. It looks and feels almost exactly like a DualShock PS1 controller, and it costs pennies compared to a lot of other USB controllers. Pair this together with a Raspberry Pi and you've got yourself a budget retro gaming system!

Okay. So last week my Toshiba laptop broke, and I really needed another PC. I always wanted to get a gaming laptop, so I checked on Amazon for other laptops but due to funds, I decided to check out a desktop instead. I was curious with this model because I never owned a gaming desktop before. The GTX 960 graphics card, 16Gb RAM, and AMD processor really drew my attention. When I looked at the price, I knew I struck gold. This was the best 700$ on hardware I ever spent.

Let me tell you, you won't be disappointed with this purchase. I'll make this simple - If you're a gamer, then GET THIS DESKTOP. It runs every game I have played on max settings smoothly; if this can play GTA V on MAX settings with 30 - 45  average FPS (can sometimes hit 60) - which is a very demanding game -  then it is safe to say this desktop will suit all your gaming needs - If you care about graphics that is.

Pros:
- GOOD graphics card for the price. Runs almost every game on ultra settings with moderate to decent fps.
- Does not overheat. There are two huge fans in the front and rear of the desktop case. There are many openings on the case to keep this thing cool.
- Not that loud. People. Its a GAMING desktop. WITH two huge fans. WITH a pretty decent graphics card. Expect SOME noise. I recommend putting this in a ventilated area to reduce noise. I swear with headphones, you won't even notice.
- The AMD processor is ALMOST equivalent to an Intel i5. Pretty decent considering the price. Performance is decent.
- There are 4 USB slots on top of the case, as well as the headphone jack. That's pretty unique.
- Comes with a lightweight keyboard and mouse with cool features.

Cons:
- The case is rather...huge. I never had a gaming desktop before so I honestly didn't expect the size of the case to be big. I'll get used to it.

...And there is more but sorry, I'm tired of typing. Do yourself a favor and buy this PC. This is great for starters. I promise you will not be disappointed.

I have wanted to purchase this gameboard for awhile, but I really couldn't justify $60+ just for gaming. But when I began to take courses in digital media and started learning Photoshop and Illustrator and the unending list of keyboard shortcuts, I began to wonder if this would be useful for more than just play. I grabbed it on sale, and it has already paid for itself in time saved! I currently have 7 profiles set up on it, Mass Effect 3, Left 4 Dead 2, Dead Island, Skyrim, Borderlands 2, Photoshop, and Illustrator. I also have the G700 gaming mouse and so far both work together with the gaming software flawlessly. The keyboard shortcuts are fairly easy to set, and there is no conflict between the 2 products.

In case anyone is unaware, each profile has 3 sets of programmable keys (the row of buttons at the top of the keypad changes the set.) so for each profile you can set (29X3) 87 buttons! This is including the joystick and surrounding buttons. I am loving this product; I have had it since November, and I will update my review if anything changes. So far I am giving it 5 stars!

This is a huge upgrade from my 5 year old laptop. .. I got this for gaming and school, because my old laptop's keys weren't working! The graphics on this though, oh my gosh so beautiful. I played World of Warcraft for the first time in High settings for graphics, I teared up and flew around the landscape to view it in all its glory! I'm so used to playing Wow on lowest settings that I forgot there was a high setting! The performance kept up in raids too, I saw the things to avoid better than I ever have. Thank you MSI for making this beautiful,  quality laptop affordable for gamers on a budget!

Better than I expected from an "entry level" graphics card thats for sure! This was easy as pie to install. Just popped it into the mobo and plugged in the 4 pin connector and the system was ready to go. I've been testing it out relentlessly on my first time pc build. So far no issues whatsoever. It can handle just about any game you throw at it, and while sure it may not get you ultra quality every time but I experienced excellent framerates between 40-60 depending on the game. I suppose I'll mention my system has 2 4gb g skill sniper ram cards and amd athlon quad core cpu. All I wanted was a rig that could handle the current gen and beyond games at the very least with minimal quality and I got more than that with this.

The only negative thing I can say is that at first the card for me would run too hot and shut down automatically only minutes after playing a game, but with the program speedfan I was able to monitor the temps and crank up my gpu's fan to 100% which, for some reason it was not at. After doing that I have been incident free!

Games I Tested & Run W/O Issue: *UPDATED 7/19/14*

Old one burned out due to a processor malfunction and this came in perfect condition works like a charm for budget gaming. Loaded it with a gtx750ti and an amd fx6300. Plays everything at 60fps easy. Does not have dual gpu support and integrated video output is not hdmi but with the right parts it can soar.

First of all, it's really cheap. And let me tell you, if you're throwing together a cheap gaming rig, this is the card you want. With it, you can play absolutely any game out there as of right now. Can you play everything on ultra? No. But a lot you can play on high and everything else can be run on medium (all no lag of course). So if you're not necessarily looking for the latest mind-blowing looks and you just want to be able to at least PLAY the games that you want, pick up this card.
I've never had any failures or any problems with this card whatsoever. Definitely worth the $75. I've got a big-rig now, so I'm about to upgrade and get rid of this card, but it treated me very well while I had it. Farewell, 6670.

I upgraded from a GTX 560 to this and I'm simply blown away on how much better this video card can handle games. I purchased this card over a the TITAN because well, it costs less and the comparison is too close to call.

If you're looking for a card with the best bang for your buck this one is it!

If you're looking for a gaming PC that will play the basic good games on Max video settings, this is it. Chances are you were looking at Cyberpower and iBuypower first, which I spent a good week looking through via amazon myself. I was aiming for a 500-600 comp, but after looking at all the options those two competitors had to offer, I wasn't being sold on anything. I previously owned a cyberpower pc, so I know what took look for. When I came across Cybertron, I was pleasantly surprised at the specs they had to offer on their pcs. Good RAM, 400Watt Power supply, choice between Windows 7 or 8 (I chose 7, I love everything about it) and a good Video Card. I then read the reviews, and saw nothing but praise. I have had this for 2 weeks now, and other than a couple hours uninstalling some of the unneeded software, updating drivers, etc., I am fully satisfied with my purchase. Read and compare the specs to similar comps and price ranges of cyberpower and ibuypower, and you will be impressed as well I'm sure.

Games I play on high/very high video settings: League of Legends, Star Craft 2 (runs perfectly), Oblivion, Command and Conquer Tiberium Wars, plus dozens of Steam games

Pros: Tech Support for life, can play my games on very High / Max video settings, Quiet fans, Legit Case, Choice between windows 7 or 8,

Cons: Some bloatware, but easily uninstalled. Also, when I first got the comp up and running the drivers for my USB flash drives were not installing right. I thought the problem was windows at first and wasted some time researching, but it was actually my chipset drivers. Once I used the provided gigabyte CD which lead me to the gigabyte drivers website, it was easy to update the drivers and now everything works perfectly.

Best LAPTOP PERIOD.. Really this is a truly great investment for the perfect gamer. Essentially, this thing will... will manifest inside the core minds of your friends minds. Making them think about how beast of a machine YOU have and then they will look at there low tier rigs and say, "WHY CAN'T YOU BE LIKE HIS PC!"

First and foremost this is a very striking and visual appealing piece of hardware and from the front, it will draw peoples attention. LED's cover this thing all over the place front, screen (logo), keyboard, and below the speakers. Each of these sections can be interacted with and the color can change within the dedicated software app that is built in. (Rocking a pink and blue breathing effect)

The keyboard is very tactile and is easy on response times for typing. It also has 5 dedicated macro keys for on the go programming as well. (Final Fantasy 14 player here..) The track pad though feels rather small for me and something bigger would have been helpful but it is a just a tiny con.
The speakers for this laptop (or any laptop) I've used thus far are good, there is some bass and it makes the whole entertainment aspect much more better as a whole.

(Not going into too much technical specs) The overall performance of this laptop is great, really great! You are paying for the top of the line premium product. 4k, a top grade graphics card (GTX 970m), and touch screen. Those are my selling points because there is so much use for each aspect. A built in 4k monitor that Alienware has done for the first time and succeeded with flying colors! Hook up this bad boy up to a 4k monitor and bam! 4k gaming (to a point). GTX 970m graphics card can run most triple A title games at 60FPS Max settings no problem and 4k at a reasonable FPS that won't make you tank yourself. The touch screen is also an overall nice feature because I find my self tapping the screen more than using the keyboard and if you get this laptop you will understand!

Conclusion:This peripheral will literally bring shame to those rigs at your local LAN party and you will have this very evil smirk when you whip this out of nowhere... Literally.
The laptop is fantastic and for the price you are getting the top of the line next gen graphics card and raw power to last you a couple years..  (The Alienware Amp will make it even go longer.. but that will be for another review.)

So im a big time gamer and my desktop was assembled by myself and cost me a good chunk of cash, but I needed a portable gaming laptop for the weekends and don't have the cash to shell out for one. This thing is a beast, I don't know how it plays the games it does with the specs that are on it but Ive been playing League of Legends, black ops 2, dota2, starcraft, Final Fantasy 14 mmorpg, world of warcraft all on medium settings with 60 fps, this thing stays cool as can be, and the battery life while gaming straight through is three hours which is falsely advertised but highly expected from anyone who knows a thing about computers. If you are looking for something cheap and will play any current game on the market at medium settings this thing is for you, IT IS the cheapest gaming laptop on the market period! It also does all those boring things like surf web and school project junk ^^ without any stuttering, and can run multiple apps at a time with no lag.
