    And wth is laser track and optical track? Which is better? And why? Idk about usb and ps/2 people say their game slows down by a few frames per second with the usb and it uses more cpu usage and the reply said that usb is the best way to go with the faster pc's. So that means usb will be faster than ps/2 and slows pc down less and slows fps down less than the ps/2 if it's on a fast computer right? http://www.techspot.com/vb/all/windows/t-835-Which-is-the-slower-mouse-connection-USB-or-PS2-.html this is the forum i read it from.

    USB is plug and play, PS/2 isn't, so USB is the better method.
    (and I'll kill you if you ask me what plug and play is, google it!)
    That thread is from six years ago, when processors were relatively slow, and Windows XP was rather buggy.
    For the record, CPU usage goes up when you drag windows around quickly, on any PC. This because moving windows around is drawn on the screen by the processor, not the graphics card, so your processor has to work relatively hard. However, moving the mouse on its own has no effect on CPU usage, it is not the mouse/keyboard causing the issue, it's the act of moving a window around, and who cares? Doing it doesn't slow your PC down, and you won't be moving windows around when playing games.

    I prefer the Tempest because it costs less, is more compact (the 1200 is huge), and does just as good a job at cooling the system. The Twelve Hundred is really quite unnecessary.

    the 1200 may say full tower but when u look at the dimensions their related to the tempest lol. well yea it has less fans though and is worth more. but I would still go for the tempest.

    It's a much bigger case, trust me. The Antec 900 is similar to the Tempest in Size, and that's not a small case. The 1200 is bigger still.

    Go to Newegg and search 'Antec nine hundred' - I can't believe that didn't occur to you.

    what about this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121276 should i get this over the sapphire and gigabyte? And why is gigabyte more expensive still don't get.. is it cuz they added useless parts to it or something. Like extra coverings and stuff like it's just a different build? And what about HIS brand is it any good?
