So my old SteelSeries 5L pad, http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/steelseries_steelpad_5l/, is starting to show its age. Can't believe this thing lasted me so long, bought it back in 2005 or 2006. Anyway, I can't find it anymore, obviously discontinued and its former replacement, the 5C, has...
When it comes to FPS games, I'm an input lag nazi and I've been curious about this for a while. Whenever I search google, I just find loads of threads of people arguing "Yes it does! No it doesn't!" It's just confusing lol. AA in general is post-processing, however, I've read that FXAA is...

I started tinkering with this recently on my desktop. Are there any differences between balanced and high performance? So far I haven't really noticed any. Although... call me crazy, but my screen seems just a tad bit brighter when using high performance. My CPU seems to clock the same with both...
Anyone know why this is happening? This was after a quick 3dmark 11 test after a fresh install and with everything set to stock. i5-3570K with a Cooler Master 212+.

Cores 0, 2 and 3 are pretty darn good. In fact...
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Mostly games which include BF3, Skyrim, Minecraft (lol), Diablo 3, Deus Ex, and various FPSers. A little bit of video recording on the side, but nothing major.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included...
