That's a fairly slim budget for a decent mouse, keyboard, and headset.

 

Realistically, I would just stick with the XPS's keyboard (quite good as laptops are concerned - it even has a little screen like the G15), and spend the money on a gaming mouse and headset only. For the mouse, a great choice is the Logitech G5. It's a little older, and there are several newer and better ones out now, but it is still a quality mouse, and fairly cheap for a high precision laser mouse.

 

For the headset, the Sennheiser PC350 should be amazing, but it would put you above your stated budget (as it is usually around $140 by itself). For a lower budget, the Creative Fatal1ty gets pretty good ratings.

XPS M1730 already has an good near full sized(minus the del,home, end, page up/down ect location) keyboard with the same screen on the Logitech G15(not my style of keyboard, but thats another story)

 

If it uses the same Logitech software, this is a good plugin
http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forum [...] opic=46373

 

Now onto the mouse. For the price i still find the MX518 hard to beat. Its near imposable to make it loose traction and it will run 500 reports/sec(the 2 i have will). I use the G9, but its a little expensive for the budget.

 

Keyboard : The dell one

 

Mouse : G5 or MX518, whatever you get a better price on. Get a good hard(plastic/metal) mouse pad for a laser mouse(G5), it just works better.

 

Headset : I can not comment here i only use a headset for a mic. The Logitech one i have has bad headphones, but the mic works ok. Someone else help please.

That's a good mouse, you should be happy with it (actually, it's basically a G5, but with a high-res optical rather than a laser).

As for the Logitech headsets, I don't have any experience with them. They certainly don't look bad, but it's hard to say for sure.

Logitech Chat Headset = NO NO!!!! Bad headphones, but good mic
This does not appear to be on the website.

 

I had a creative with a decent headphones, but bad humming mic :(
Maybe thats why they are on sale for so cheap

Well thats strange.
I never did anything, last messages i received from you are related to this thread and one about the 9800M GT specs.

I got your PM but i cant send u one,it says
Sorry, you were put in ignore list by this user nukemaster

so let me post it here i wanted to tell u that
9800MGT has 96 SP and 8800MGTX has 96 SP too
9800MGTX has 112 SP so it will perform a little better than 8800MGTX.

I have no first hand experience with that set, but there are several reviews around

http://www.legitreviews.com/article/308/1/ - They don't like it
http://www.tweaknews.net/reviews/logprec/ - They like it if you do not have glasses
http://reviews.cnet.com/headsets/l [...] 17045.html - Mixed user reviews
http://techgage.com/article/logite [...] g_headset/ - needs EQ tweaking to make it sound good
http://www.computingondemand.com/r [...] ge1.shtml- they generally like it

I think its going to come down to personal tastes.
