Multicolor Gaming Mouse, The Best Budget Light Up Mouse

by Colton

Having a multicolor gaming mouse sets the bar high for your gaming system. In my opinion this is the best light up mouse on the market! If you’re looking for a colorful gaming mouse then this is definitely the one you’re looking for!

Most gaming mice that have illumination are made of low quality materials so that the manufacturers can keep their cost lower. This is not the case with UtechSmart’s “Mars” gaming mouse.

With a decent max DPI setting, macro buttons, DPI switch and cool custom illumination basically makes this one of the best gaming mice to purchase when looking around for that perfect mouse to add to your PC build.

Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Review, Future-Proof Video Power

by Colton

Here’s a Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 review and I must say that this is one future-proof card that you just cannot ignore. The amount of power that is inside of this card is capable of running basically anything at a 2560 x 1440 resolution. 1440p looks great and you will be ensured that this card will handle it once you see the power of it for yourself.

If you’re playing on a lower resolution then this would still be an excellent card to have. This card has just the right amount of power needed for a great resolution and to get the full effect of what it can do it’s just best to see it in action in the most optimal way, which is 1440p resolution.

Alienware Alpha Game Console Specs, Ready For Next-Gen?

by Colton

Are the Alienware Alpha game console specs up to par for this next generation of gaming? Well today I’d like to dig deep and show you guys exactly what you can expect out of Alienware’s new PC gaming console.

PC gaming is evolving at record breaking speeds and last-gen computer hardware is slowly being taken out of the picture. SteamOS is also right around the corner and that alone is going to completely change the way PC gaming is looked at. If you have never heard of SteamOS then I highly suggest giving it a Google search. SteamOS is an operating system that is Linux based but it will have the online services of Steam integrated within it as well. An Alienware Alpha gaming console would go perfect with SteamOS, so the timing couldn’t be better! 😀

Anyway, let’s get to the specs and the review of this new PC console.
