I've been using a Saitek Eclipse II keyboard now for about 5 years, considering it was on the low end of the market when I got it I think I've gotten a good run out of it but I think it's time I got something new.

Really liking the look of the Razer Chroma and the Corsair K70 and just wanted to know if anyone here has one of either and are willing to share some opinions on them. Particularly the build quality with the K70 supposedly being made out of better materials and the Chroma having better lighting though has more plastic.

PLEDGE HERE GODDAMMIT!

Well at least they're actually going to make the fucking thing now...

It's a discussion that probably crops up every day on a Sonic/Sega forum but this was still a pretty awesome video. Projared brings up the flaws while also being hilarious. He also reminds us of the sole reason we still play the game...

Well worth 25 minutes of your time

I love his channel, even though he started losing his Nuzlockes on purpose

I have no idea why this has suddenly became an issue. I don't usually play multiplayer games on my PC but I do like to play a couple MMOs now and then (SWTOR and FFXIV).
Sometime in the past month I noticed I was suddenly getting 20k+ms every so often on SWTOR, both on NA and EU servers (this is after playing the game since open beta). I would be stuck for like 20 seconds which isn't great itself but recently I've had trouble doing anything at all after logging in. Someone in my guild suggested trying WTFast (VPN) and that did stabilize for a while but now just back to usual dropping out and I uninstalled the VPN. I know it's not a issue server side otherwise there would obviously be reports on the game forums.

As far as FFXIV, it was fine for like the first night I played (bought the game Friday) but then after logging back in the next morning I just DC after a few seconds without being able to do anything...

I thought maybe opening ports might help as my firewall is set up fine for the games, so I followed the instructions on PortForward.com and used their port checking tool to make sure they were open. Even after opening the ports correctly I still get the same results in game. I called my ISP (Sky) and they were thoroughly unhelpful, saying my connection on their end seems good (which it is mostly, web browsing and torrents work fine) but had no advice on why my ports were not working or any other idea as to why I can't access my games.

I'm usually fine researching solutions to my technical issues but I'm totally stumped here so any help or ideas you guys can give me would be awesome

Its come to the point where I want to start thinking about building a new system. I've already got a spec in mind and will be buying parts as and when I can afford them.
In the meantime I wanna see how much I can get out of my current setup:

AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.20ghz
Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P Motherboard
8gb DDR3 Dual Channel (1600mhz)
Sapphire HD7850 2GB OC Edition
Corsair 550w PSU
AMD Stock Cooler (whole system is air cooled in a CM Scout pretty much using all fan spaces)

This is fine for playing most of my games, though I wouldn't mind playing Bioshock Infinite and Tomb Raider on higher graphical settings. If anyone would be able to give some advice on how to overclock that would be awesome. Not looking to take it to the absolute max, just wanna get a safe performance increase.
