Thanks for that, I will look it up.

I heard AOS or what ever its called is a really good Monitor brand. I'd go with the Asus VS248H-P?

I'm using a 4H headset, it's very good. Most people will recommend the Siberia, which I've heard is very comfortable.

As for mice, I have a Razer Abyssus but I do want that Dota 2 SteelSeries Kana.

I've never used the Siberia, but I've only ever heard good things about it. If you can afford it, go for it.

The Dota 2 Kana is purely advertisement, so unless you actually like Dota 2 that much, you might as well get the regular Kana.

All of them... triple monitor.

This is the ASUS VS248H-P, one of the choices in the OP.

Alright, I added the Kana and the Siberia to the OP, the Kana looks like a really good mouse to me. Thanks for your suggestions.

Well that's the one I recommend.

Considering that that is the one most people recommend, I will add that to my cart.

I'm getting it too later in the year, should be worth every penny.

Remove that dell moniter from the poll, you don't want a dell moniter.

Dell is known for selling DOA parts and having terrible customer service.

Do not buy the Siberia v2 if you have a big head. You can't resize/adjust it at all. I bought one and took it back the same day because it didn't fit. (it also sounded like stuff)
