I would also want built in speakers.

This BenQ monitor has pretty solid reviews, but it depends on how many inches you want (kennethwilliams.jpg) as its only 21.5

I just bought this one, no idea if it's any good yet as its in a different country from me but the reviews are very positive https://www.amazon.co.uk/AOC-Monitor-Di ... oc+monitor

That's all my components at home bar my 1050 gtx as well, looking forward to getting back at Christmas and getting on to the pc gaming bandwagon 8-)

Thanks both. Trelliz - in your link you can select the 24" version for just a few pounds more!
Rocsteady - look forward to your impressions. Do you know what the response time is? Might consider the 27" version.

It's 5ms apparently, no idea if that's good or not.

Ended up getting a £10 Logitech because most of the expensive gaming ones I saw looked tacky/hideous. That being said I probably will end up getting a K70 RGB Strafe after the holidays, but I'm not paying like 120+ quid for one. If it hits around 100 or less I'll consider. This logitech seems pretty good though, doesn't light up or is mechanical, but a new keyboard is always a nice feeling, cheap or not :s

the microsoft sidewinder x4 is lovely - but it seems to be OOP

the x6 is disgusting :dread:

Dat 144hz God damn that makes a difference. Fired up elite, put everything as high as it would go with 4x internal rendering/down sampling and it didn't break a sweat. Then I got the vive out and holy gooseberry fool it's so immersive. Dogfighting is incredible. I've currently got my hotas plonked on the desk so I'm going to look at mounting it to my playseat, which should mean I get comfy pilots chair and controls in space, then I can use the wheel and pedals to drive the rover when on the planets.

You need to get DCS and try it out for me. Its the only game I think i would play in VR

I just dreamt last night that I was in some kind of VR world where you could skate as splatoon characters, and it was so immersive that I couldn't wake up, great sleep though. Is that what Vive is like?

My mind is messed up.

New Humble Bundle.

Pay $1 or more for Train Simulator 2016, RollerCoaster Tycoon: Deluxe, and Out of the Park Baseball 17.

Pay more than the average price and you’ll also get Democracy 3 Collector's Edition, Car Mechanic Simulator 2015, and Big Pharma.

Pay $12 or more for all of that plus Youtubers Life (Early Access)

Hmm.

YOUTUBERS LIFE!

SOLD

I somehow forgot about Train Simulator's DLC.

I remember the good old days when the DLC was only a grand for the lot.

They do a good 99.9℅ off deal from time to time?

The Zombie apocalypse DLC, Trains vs Zombies, is the only one worth having.
