what about logitech g400, and is it really worth spending that much on mouse ?
logitech G400s is good to go. The mouse is durable and better than simple version.

Is this the best gaming laptop that one can buy with Rs. 170,000?
http://homeshopping.pk/products/Lenovo-Y50-59426157-Price-in-Pakistan.html

If so, is there a better place online than homeshopping to buy this?
I know my answer is not related to your question but you might wanna see recent reviews about homeshopping.pk

Buy a simple board while spending the rest of money to buy a better GPU, because for SLI/Crossfire you need a better PSU too.

1150 as its more future proof.

recommend any gud headphone for listening music.. range 8-10k
i cannot forget the sound of Sony MDR-XB500, very very awesome sound quality. Simply amazing. Regarding BASS I can not explain in words. You should definitely get them if you can.


I will also suggest to check JBL J22i, it has remote control with it hence you can use it with cellphone as well. Both of these headphones were available in Lahore and I think you can get them from KHI as well.
Then there are Beats by Dr Dre but original ones start from 15K price range.

I have a G630 pro with DH61HO mobo. Pro specs on intel's site says that it can support RAM upto 1067mhz but mobo can support upto 1333mhz. So my question is can I install 1333mhz RAM on my system?

do you want to purchase everything new ? or used ? if you go for used products you can easily purchase a good core i3,i5 in your budget.

Buying a Laptop

Hi Guys ! I need to buy a new HP laptop in Islamabad but im unsure from which shop i should buy because of the fact that most shops would sell you a refurbished laptop as new and its quite hard to tell the difference.

If someone would recommend a trust worthy shop that would be great.

Thanks

One with 1920x1080 because this is standard resolution i.e. Full HD aka 1080p
I checked a 16:10 dell p2210 on a shop (google showed its native resolution 1680x1050). It had options of 1920x1200 and 1920x1080 i tried 1920x1080 and the display was good. so this lcd can have both resolutions 1080p and 1050p. should i buy it?

For normal work you won't be able to use non-native resolution, as text is blurry and out of proportions. For gaming, using non-native resolution works fine!

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
