Megamind, none of the Optical and laser mouse necessarily requires a Mouse pad, you can use them without mouse pad. But the thing is for smooth and controlled movement in games, a mouse pad is highly recommended.

Regarding Gigabyte mouses, they are far cheaper. I came to about them when my roommate had built his super rig 3 years back. He had a Gigabyte 5 btn Laser mouse with 1600 DPI and weigh control with 5 different weights. It was available at just 1700 bucks.

By the way, I found some good and cheap mouse pad also:

The above two are small sized and their medium sized (360 x 280 x 3 mm) are available @ 0.4K. Here is the Rantopad H1 Volcano pics

These mouse pads are bigger than the small sized Razer goliathus mouse and also cheaper. FOr detail, check the itwares.

thanks for that cilus.

Not sure about Ranthopad, never used it, some chinese company, no reviews to compare, but one thing, my Goliathus speed edition(DAII edition) is damn smooth, very very comfy.

@jassy
35k-->AMD one
40k-->Intel one

@jassy
and about those mats
look bro
we can't really advise a buyer to go for "this" mat
mats should be bought after some personal research from the buyer himself
because mats are basically bought to fulfill personal playing styles

for eg:
I play fps games with low speed and high precision -->control mat
and many of my friends play same fps games with high speed and lower precision -->speed mat

what we can do is , that give the option for both the mats in the same rig i.e. control and speed
and the price variation you are seeing in those links are due to the mat size itself

d3p · Jun 21, 2011

@Jassy: for Sub 35k - AMD's config is better, but adding UD3H & removing the speakers will definitely add some futureproof in it. [User can opt for Bull dozer later with UD3H.]

Why are we suggesting Desktop Speakers with these configs ?

Do intex UPS are better than APC, numeric & even iball ??

Why not suggesting APC550 or 600VA for budgeted setup's like 25k till 35k ???

Cilus · Jun 21, 2011

d3p5kor, actually I suggested Jas to go for the Intex UPS for the lower and middle range configs. Here, a couple of friends of mine, some of them are also digit forum members, are using Intex UPS with their pretty powerful rigs without any issues. The 1 KVA provides backup time of 35/40 mins with a Core i5 2400, 8 GB ram, and with a HD 6850 system. They also comes with 2 yrs of warranty.

d3p · Jun 21, 2011

Nothing beat SMC for their prices & itdepot is sometime on the higher side.

Get this.
MSI R6950 Twin Frozr II/OC Graphics Card--Free shipping

or this is also a better piece.

MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC

Note: As mentioned, this Thread is only meant for Catering configs at different budget to all, but not for personal queries. So its a good idea to create a separate thread & discuss the same under specific sections.
