Adding this to the topic, y'all like the new pic?
GAMING MICE
Logitech G400
Zowie AM
Zowie EC1/EC2
Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0
Microsoft Intellimouse Optical 1.1
Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical
Razer Deathadder
CM Storm Xornet
And that's pretty much it. These are the mice chosen by pro gamers, not by me as I defer to their conclusions. If it's not on here, I simply will not recommend it.
Some things to know:
-More expensive =/= better.
-As a general rule, don't use mouse driver software (except for the Deathadder).
-Laser mice are not good. Buy an optical mouse.
-Many mice can be overclocked, like the Intellimouse Optical 1.1.
-Just say no to wireless mice.
-Reviewers don't know anything about mice. Only listen to pro gamers.
-Higher DPI doesn't make anything better.
-Post if you have a question about mice!

Here we go!
Have all needed peripherals, but i would like advice what to upgrade to later on.
Budget: $300 USD (Bestbuy credit)+ $250 USD=$550 usd
I can go over by like 50 bucks if there is a large performance upgrade at stake.
I want: To be able to use Cryengine 3 Sandbox, handle modern games, at acceptable framerates.
Prefer Nvidia if possible (Cryengine 3 was built on it)
I need to get the best deals on bestbuy in-store or online using 300$ and the rest i will buy online (newegg) for cheaper

Bam. Seems like a lot for 380 GBP, what with a 6870, 500GB HDD, nice case, and a CPU that's NOT to be underestimated! Look up the benches, that G620 will not hold anything back in games, and this is a gaming system from the ground up. I couldn't justify any other case over the Antec One which happens to be on sale.
The 6870 is on pre-order, so you could switch the card to an Nvidia GTX 560 (Non-Ti) if that's an issue.

I would get this PSU right now:

It's modular, 80+ Gold, and very high-quality... But it isn't priced like it with the 20% off code. That's a very good deal.
I'd go for this 6850 unless the budget is for both the card and the PSU:

In which case I would go for the 7770 for lack of a good option between the 7770 and 6670:

so this will run dayz correct?

Going to be gone today so I'll either be posting from my phone or not at all until I get back later. As always, we do our best to do these in under 24 hours.

$697.92 + $40 worth of MIR. This leaves you with $50 for a KB + mouse. The reason I did not include them is because I simply can't recommend Razer products, especially their peripherals.

The 6870 ( which is at a great price right now ) will slice through a lot of the mainstream games out on the market today, especially when you have a really strong i3-2100.
The HIVE series of PSU's are great units and 750w will easily handle everything you throw at it including high overclocks on both the CPU+GPU ( not applicable right now ) and crossfire / SLI configurations if you decide to go that route in the future.
