Went to play It and I noticed at the main menu that something was not right, the animations looked like they were moving really fast, this continued into the gameplay. It was basically like someone had pressed fast forward. No matter what I did to change the settings to the graphics it had no effect. I googled it and seen that other people had the same problem but with different games and the main solution was to change the affinty so the game so that it only uses 1 core (I think thats what it does). Anyway I did that and it fixed the issue with the fast gameplay but now because I changed the affinity the game the frame rate seems to drop even at low settings. There's a benchmark test in the game and the average fps stays at around 50-55, thats at low, normal and high settings. The game is playable but there is noticeable drops in frame rate and the audio seems to cut off in cut scenes.

With ASUS' new Z87 ITX board, I might be going Haswell, but I'm leaning towards just sticking with Ivy to be perfectly honest. You pretty much get the same 20°C drop when de-lidding Ivy, and it still runs at around 60 at 4.3, so cooler and better for SFF systems.

He recommends it always, I think he does have it. It looks cool if nothing else! My g400 is solid but doesn't look particularly sexy

There is also the Perixx mx 2000 which is the exact same mouse in black with a rubberised surface.http://www.amazon.co.uk/Driver-Update-Perixx-MX-2000-Programmable/dp/B0083H4NG4/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1370529082&sr=1-1&keywords=perixx+mx+2000 Brian are you getting the oculus to develop with or just mess about? There's not much support for it yet is there? I'll wait for the retail version. Hopefully it has at least a 1080p screen. I don't have it myself but all the reviews are golden including customer ones on Amazon. I'm getting the Perixx mx-2000 this week along with a CM Storm quickfire pro keyboard.

I plan on building my own computer( if I'm not impressed by E3) and the possibility of using this as a monitor so I can put more money towards other parts. Does anyone here have an experience of using a monitor of this size with their build and is it too large to be comfortable to use? Thanks!
