Corsair K70 RGB Mechanical Keyboard
For the past few years we have constantly been recommending people buy mechanical keyboards, and for good reason. You are constantly using your keyboard and mouse, and upgrading them can provide a huge increase in your computing experience. However, there hasn't been much development in the mechanical keyboard space since Cherry MX Key switches became all the rage a few year ago.
The Corsair K70 RGB breathes some fresh air into the keyboard market. The exclusive partner for the new Cherry RGB key switches, the line of Corsair RGB Keyboards allow you to individually program the integrated LED in each key. Hours can be spent in the Corsair customization software tweaking every little value and animating the lights exactly how you want. Available in MX Cherry Red, Brown, and Blue key switches, this is not only the coolest looking keyboard you'll find, but also great to type on.
Acer XB280HK 4K G-SYNC Monitor
One of the first G-Sync monitors to find its way onto retail and e-tail shelves, the Acer XB280HK is a 4K, 60 Hz maximum refresh panel that benefits from the variable refresh technology of NVIDIA G-Sync. Though there are other monitors out there that will utilize G-Sync at up to 144 Hz, they are running at resolutions of 2560×1440 or even 1920×1080. The Acer XB280HK jumps all the way up to 3840×2160; and at that resolution you can really benefit from G-Sync when frame rate dip below 60 FPS. Even using top-end hardware today, at 4K that is going to happen quite often.
Check out my review of the Acer XB280HK right here!
Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury Gaming Mouse
Mice, right? There all the same. Except this one – it has the name Hyperion Fury for a reason. Our original testing and review of the first consumer mouse with an accelerometer in it, capable or measuring 500 IPS; that's 28.4 mph! Why do you need a mouse like that? Well why do you need a 4K monitor or a GTX 980? You kind of don't but that is what makes those parts so much fun. I have had this exact monitor on my desk since that review, if that tells you anything. You can pick up the G402 for just $50 on Amazon – some impressive technology for a reasonable price all things considered.
Corsair Flash Voyager GTX Drives
At this point, we can all realize the utility of having a high capacity thumb drive with you at all times. As storage keeps getting cheaper and cheaper, file sizes keep increasing and everyone needs a way to shuffle large files from place to place.While large capacity thumb drives have existed for a while, they have been lacking in the speed department. We've gotten used to the speed of the SSDs in our desktop and notebooks, but flash drives have remained painfully slow in comparison.
The Corsair Flash Voyager GTX fixes this issue by cramming a full SSD controller and up to 250GB of storage into a package not much bigger than a stick of gum. These days when you can find a 128GB thumb drive for $35, you are paying for the speed here, but can any real enthusiast put a price on 462 MB/s max read and 371 MB/s max write in your pocket? We think not.

I don’t think the 980 is a good choice, not at a 70% markup vs. the maybe 5-15% slower 970.
At that point, and if you’re willing to spend that sort of money, just go ahead and get two 970s, IMHO.

A bit ago I seen them for like 200-250ish somewhere.
But I wanted to try new AMD Tech on a 285.
First one I got needs to go back for RMA..

Tried everything! Oh wellz.

A 285, want to try out there techs and see how they are these days.
It cannot launch dX11+ titles. No matter what.. HAAA !
Oh life. AT LEAST IT’S NOT A DRIVER ISSUE. >.>
It probably really is.. They just have no fix.
Or a graphics bios, which they had no suggestions for.
280, yes. 290, yes. 285, nope!
As long as they send me back a functional one on the first try.
At that point I think I just got a new coffee coaster.
