My fiance uses a Logitech G430, if you use the USB plug, it has some nice noise-cancelling software built-in. Sometimes a little too much, if you speak too softly it won't catch your voice that well. But it's a very nice and very comfortable headset. Unless you already have headphones you like, I'd recommend the Logitech G430.

If you just want a mic, your options are only limited by your budget. Go for something with gain control, that'll help you eliminate background noise. The Yeti by Blue is a very popular pick for simple ease of use. It's not the godsend people like to say, but it's only around $100 and still works great.

It almost always comes down to budget. Your system warrants just about any monitor setup, it's just how much you want to spend. That said, this is a fantastic option. It's 144hz, 1440p, 27".

The monitor I have is the one you linked, the VG248QE. It's a great monitor, but if I was more willing to shell out the cash, I'd grab the ROG Swift. As far as colors go, it doesn't feel vibrant, but that's not a big issue to me. It still looks great and I'm happy with the purchase.

Better drive than the WD 5TB Black. I have both. Don't waste your money unless you REALLY want that 5yr warranty lol

I got this (I ended up paying full price). It works really well, can read just about any disc I throw at it. according to this it works with Linux. Note: I have not tried this myself, however, I have played a blu-ray disk on windows with vlc and this player, and libaac, which is basically the only way you can play it on Linux other than ripping using MakeMkv. So I am pretty sure it will work.

I did luck out, I thought I was doomed to the ebay bidding wars for weeks. That 970 board even has the 8+2 power phase I wanted in the 990fx boards.

Man, that really sucks about your pc. You did get a hell of a deal for it, so as long as you enjoyed your time with it, it was well worth the price.

As for a possible solution, I knew a buddy that used a low clearance cooler similar to this Noctua. But it's $50 so thats not much cheaper than the one you found. Then I was thinking you could go with a whole new motherboard like this one but if your lenovo board is propreitary, I would assume the power connector isn't a standard 24 pin so that wouldn't work. Hopefully you can find a workable solution.

Buying the newest pc components right now is not wise and I have already put off my upgrade build for a while waiting for RAM and GPUs to drop in price so I can start buying one piece at a time. But I want to wait on the mobo and cpu as my last parts for the newest tech. I suppose I should just be happy with what I have right now. First world problems lol

Good luck to you.

I would take a look at Vivo monitor stands/mounts on Amazon. Great quality for a good price.

Thanks so much! Could you tell me what you think about pairing either this or this with this? One question I have is.. do those have better graphics than the 2x AMD Radeon HD 6750s I have? I saw someone say you could still use GPUs with the APU, but would either APU be better in the first place?

Sorry for asking so much, I'm just on a tight budget and don't want to spend a bunch and find out something isn't compatible or isn't even an upgrade.

Well the tx3 does not work however the tx4 is almost the exact same price and it's pretty much the same thing

Also this might be worth a look https://www.amazon.com/Enermax-EHB001-Headset-Holder/dp/B00V08ZM90

I didn't ask about the RAM but I did ask about the Motherboard. Here's the link for the Motherboard.

Just asked them about this for a couple different items. They said they are unable to do it.

The biggest is this one. I paid $120 for this at the end of September. Now it's $85.

Dell makes some

So while I've got ya here, here's what I'm looking at getting.

MOBO = https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Motherboard-B350M-GAMING-PRO/dp/B06X3Y7KB5/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1506017338&sr=1-2&keywords=Micro+ATX+AM4

CPU = https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAEBOX/dp/B06XNRQHG4/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1506022022&sr=1-3&keywords=Ryzen+5+1600

RAM = https://www.amazon.com/PNY-Anarchy-2133MHz-PC4-17000-Desktop/dp/B012ASF47I/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1506022064&sr=1-1&keywords=pny+ddr4

This leaves me room to upgrade further up the AM4 line in coming years and I can also jump from 16gb to 32gb when I can afford it. I think this is a pretty good upgrade all around and should have me smoking shit with my 1060 6gb.
