For pubg id tell you to get some

https://www.amazon.ca/Logitech-G633-Artemis-Spectrum-Surround-981-000586/dp/B013P0K8OE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1522331940&sr=8-1&keywords=logitech+g633



The quality of the headset is okay.
The confort is nice, can have 10 hours and will be like you have nothing.
The fucking wire, if you touch it a little bit too much ( getting up or wtv will fuck up the headset and you need to unplug/replug the wire that on the left ear )

But anyone who have those headset can tell you how well you can hear footstep around you.
never a teammate heard someone before me.

voice and sound quality is nice.


idk about soundcard but feel like you would need a 2-300$ surround stereo and then put the speaker on your left side , right sight , back left side , back right side to get a fair surround sound.

Hmmm, I'm using an HyperX Cloud II at the moment, with the default audio from my mobo, and I find that quite enough :O.
I forgot to mention that I didn't need those small devices haha; thanks though! :)

You won't notice an impact on gaming upgrading from this i5 to an i7, unless you stream at a higher bitrate. If you really want an i7, swap out the 8600k for the 8700k.

Upgrade PSU, 520 may not be enough. They have a 620 or 650 model. Get that

If you plan on overclocking, this is true. If you just gonna plug and play for now, 500 is plenty.

Alright!! thanks a ton. I was wondering, should I wait for the GPU prices to drop before buying one? They seem to be shooting up the roof at the moment.

TBH, I doni't think they will be coming down much any time soon. At their current price, it's still a relatively short return on investment time for crypto-currency miners (what ultimately decides the prices of GPU's right now)
