I'm building a desktop and I need help deciding what keyboard, mouse, speakers/if I need them, and headphones to get for gaming. I'm mainly just going to play Quake 3 Arena.
This is my build:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 840 3.2GHz AM3 95W Quad-Core
Motherboard: ASRock EXTREME3 870: CF 8x/8x SATA6Gb/s USB3.0 ATX
RAM: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1333MHz
Video Card: PowerColor Radeon HD 6850 1GB
Storage: Samsung F3 1TB SATA II 3.0Gb/s
Optical Drive: ASUS SATA 24X DVD Burner
Power Supply: Antec VP-450 450W
Case: Not sure
Monitor: Acer G205Hbmd
Cooling: Stock cooler w/ CPU
Sound: 8 channels sound card: Integrated on the motherboard
Network: Ethernet RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps: Integrated on the motherboard
Here are my questions:
1) The monitor has built in speakers. Am I able to connect headphones to it?
1a) Are the speakers on the monitor good or should I buy external speakers? Which ones?
2) What is a good mouse for Quake III arena (first person shooter)? Do you prefer wired or wireless?
3) What are good headphones? What do you think of the beats headphones by Dr. Dre for gaming?
4) What is a good keyboard?
Thanks a lot.
