at least three other people have told me "the brand sounds weird". yeah i've never heard of anker either until now but the reviews say it's pretty quality. as far as buttons go i just rebind them to everyday uses, i.e. browser back/forward, next turn button, etc.

with my new keyboard and mouse together i may be looking into macros if i need to get that serious but for the time being i just like the customization features

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130925

as far as price vs power. a lot of the top 600 series cards cost more yet are weaker. im just shoppin

the 770 is around 10-15% more capable than a 680. i haven't looked at prices really but if it's cheaper than the top 600 series it's worth getting if you really want it.

--- End quote ---
not necessarily

--- Quote from: http://www.pcgamer.com/review/nvidia-geforce-gtx-770-review/ ---“We have learnt from bad examples in the past,” Nvidia said earlier this month. “So the obvious one is the 9800GTX+ to GTS 250 – none of these [700 series cards] are direct re-brands of what’s come before. We’ve gone to the pains of making sure we’ve got better clocks, better design as a whole, better cooling and GPU Boost 2.0.”

1000k == 1000000 == 1,000,000 == 1, million, dollars.
So if you have
1 million dollars
to spend on your little computer.
then just buy a coreMC gen3.
it costs loving fifty-three thousandths of that.

though if that is just a typo and you meant 1,000, ill whip you a build up.

uh
which one.

I just did the black one, looked fine.
Do you need an optical drive/display?
Also, do you already have Windows 8?

--- End quote ---
I have the white one, no to the Display, yes to the optical drive and yes to the win8.
sorry for the late response
EDIT: Also, I will not be overclocking

It's worth noting that mouse 4 and 5 are default back/forward in pretty much every browser, so even intellimouse explorers (If you don't care about flashy stuff, that's a great mouse btw. pretty cheap too, also look into the MS Mouse 6000 as it looks like that's replacing the intellimouse explorer) support that.

Don't be buying a mouse for what you might do in the future, no sense wasting money on that. My g500 that recently died had a mouse6 button that could only really do macros and forwarded keys, I never ended up using it, same with the 5 macro keys on my keyboard, no matter how much I tried to think of a use for them. Chances are if you can't think of a use right now, you will never find a use for them.
