Hey Tom's. Originally, I had an entire post written out, but my tablet sucks ass, so unfortunately I'm gonna keep this short. I have about 5-6 questions concerning the G750JM gaming notebook which involves peripherals compatible with this machine.
1. I'm going to mainly be playing 3 games: Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. No FPS. Just mainly them three. So, which mouse is best for these games? Reviews suggest the Logitech G502 Proteus Core over anything else. It's about $60, or something like that. Is it as good as it seems? Design, software, comfort, and programmability as long as an amazing sensor and adjustable DPI make it a steal.
2. Onboard audio is far from great. So I've had my eyes set on Platronic Gamecon 780 headset. The headset is comfortable, says many people, and has great audio. Speaking of audio, it supports 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound. It has a variety of buttons that can mute mic, adjust volume, activate surround sound, et cetera. From what many say, it's the best sound they've ever heard. Not only that, it's only $60! Has anybody ever had experience with this headset. I'm on the very verge of buying it.
3. For those who have it, does anybody know how the 860M fares at 1440p? The three games I'll be playing are far from demanding (Skyrim runs at 60 frames with maxed out settings on 1080p). I don't think Oblivion supports any higher than 720p, Skyrim does, and I think Morrowind can be tweaked in the settings to go to 1440p.
4. This one relates to question 3. I'm going to buy a 1440p monitor to game on. The exact monitor is the ASUS PB278Q. This is supposed to be THE monitor for gaming, or so I've heard. It can rotate 178°, has a 5ms response time, is QWHD (2K-1440p), is literally designed to be for gaming, and has a 144Hz response time, so any game that is running at 30 frames will have the appearance of 60 frames. So even if the 860M struggles a bit, the high refresh rate will come handy. Does anybody else not agree. If so, what's the best 1440p monitor?
5. Along with the 1440p monitor, I'm going to buy 2 1080p monitors. They, too, will be ASUS and both are 120Hz as well as 3D ready. They've gotten great reviews, and match the ROG theme as well. The exact model is VG248QE. Price is about $280. Have any of you guys had any experience with this monitor. If so, how is it?
6. What cooling pad, under $30, would be best? Even though the G750JM never went past 75c on both CPU/GPU, cooling is by far the biggest priority.
If I left any important things out, please say so. These questions are aimed for those who are good with peripherals, but I put this in the Notebook section anyways because I thought the machine running these things mattered more than the actual accessories.
Thank you for your time guys. I appreciate it!
