    Only upgrades I plan to do to my build is maybe get a 2nd monitor. Does anyone know what would be better between another monitor and a decent laptop would be? Besides that I got everything I could ever want, besides the mouse pad I lost 2 years ago and really should replace... :p
    Also how much did you pay for the deathadder Fill? I payed $54 for a nice 2014 razer naga and it has 14 macro buttons. I am too lazy to research how much the deathadder has and how much it costs. xD

    I have many wireless mouses but as I have turned into a computer geek I use a wired mouse as they have a faster response time also with keyboards, I am tired of them disconnecting on me. :p

    My only issue with this wireless mouse is that its scroll wheel is inverted ffs a quick google showed me it was just a setting on mac os >.>
    Other than that I didn't notice anything from my old razer/gaming mouses

    Actually, not so. With new improvements with usb copper cabling and upgrading from the outdated ps/2 connectors, hard line cables are still faster because you can transmit data from devices with speeds up into the Gigabits per second for USB version 3, with version 2 not too far behind. (source- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#USB_3.0)

    Also some factors that you need to take into account is the amount of wireless devices you have in the computer's vicinity. Too many of these devices can slow each other down by corrupting the data packets through the intercrossed signals, or can lead to odd outcomes like your keyboard all of the sudden moving objects for no reason- there have also been some issues with wireless interfaces disrupting wireless internet connectivity.

    Little Tid-bit on Networking tech.
    Show Spoiler

    The same thing goes for networking. Wireless 3G, 4G, etc. can only get up to about 60 Mbps for 4G (still improving: Source- http://bgr.com/2013/03/11/4g-network-speeds-368339/) and less than that for 3G and below. Whereas CAT6 and fiber optic cables (used in Metropolitan area Networks -MAN- and Wide area Networks -WAN-), can transmit into the Gigabits/s, and new improvements in Ethernet twisted pair cabling (Local area Network -LAN-) can also transmit similar amounts to the longer ranged cables.

    Just like the wireless devices, wireless internet can be affected by location. If you have set up your wireless internet workstation near a large power generator, the Electromagnetic field emitted by the generator will disrupt your signal. Also certain building materials like metals and odd shaped surfaces can disrupt signal.

    Windows 8.1 is actually pretty nice, and should only get better. People arguing the other way usually cant articulate a legit why.

    As far as wireless networking goes, a good router/network card goes a long way. My system is on a wireless N connection (with a USB network adapter no less) and I get no lag while gaming, even while streaming full resolution and using teamspeak. The chokepoint for my computer isnt my wireless interface, its at my WAN port, same as it is for pretty much anyone using anything less than google fiber.
