the new g15 is good thought the g11 doesnt come in the orange colour. g5/7 might be better choice though, havent heard to much abou the g9 looks ugly imo xd

You can remove the lower "ugly" part of the G9 if you want, i.e. if it's uncomfortable. Any reason to change mouse/keyboard other than price?

Nope I don't. By other parts, you mean case/fans? What else am I missing other than RAM, which is being dealt with. I need suggestions for case etc. as well, but getting my electronics sorted first.
On another note, I had a talk with a friend today and he basically said ATI cards suck and I should get an Nvidia one. Is this true? Should i change?

do I go with AMD or Intel?
do I get hot dogs or corn dogs?
do I get a Ferrari or a Lambo?
Harley or a Ducati
I've got more... but you get the idea
either one works just as well as the other, IMHO

Because AMD is creaming nVidia in most price gaps right now | |
