Now I need a 1080 so I can use all 144hz of my 1440p display.
 
Honestly, should have gotten a cheapo card for my rig and waited for the 1080, but I haven't built a computer in about 4 years. Totally lost track of the product cycles. Also might be over kill since I am only playing Dota 2 these days.

Whoa, it's been nearly 9 years since I first made this thread. When we look back at the beginning posts it's incredible how fast technology has evolved. I used to think my setup was good.. hahaha...ha..

I'd never noticed this thread before, I have to say reading through the first few pages made for an interesting experience - I'd almost forgotten how crazy technological advances have been coming in the past few years. It's crazy. Anyway,

I think it's cool how it's chronological, the posts probably increase in density around hardware releases.

Headphones: Sennheiser 600, recently purchased an HE 400 and I'm definitely loving how it sounds in a game like Battlefield. In terms of gaming headphones though I have a pair of HyperX Cloud 2s and when paired with an amp the quality will startle you considering they are only around 70 bucks.
