With some more money built up, I want to buy some new peripherals.
I was thinking for headphones to get a pair of sennheisers for music, and corsair for gaming, not sure though.
For the keyboard, I'm leaning towards mechanical, something like the CM Storm or the G19.
Mouses, I have no idea what to get, so I'd be happy to hear some suggestions.
Also anyone heard of the company zowie? I've seen pro gamers from youtube say they were good.

Pretty much anything mech. The features on my g19 such as the lcd and programmable g keys aren't important. The only use i found for the lcd on it is to look at the time every now and then when im playing games. That is really useful, besides that its pointless. The g keys only matter if you play an mmorpg like wow, as an fps gamer its useless to me.
Do you type often? For gaming reds are best, for typing blues are best. I have found that, personally, since I type and game a lot, by far the best compromise is blue switches with black o rings. That is just personal preference though. I bought a cherry mx sampler kit from here and its very good.
Roccat Savu is an awesome mouse as well. IIRC it uses the same optical sensor as the zowie so it just comes down to shape and build quality. Roccat Savu is a non ambidextrous shape so it only really suits right handers but since I'm right handed I find mice built for right handers more comfortable that ambidextrous mice like the razer deathadder and zowie am.
Out of laser mice, CM storm sentinel advanced II is probably the best I've used in terms of comfort, accuracy and features.
As for keyboards, I personally enjoy browns the most with blues following very closely in second place. Good mech keyboard brands to look at are CM quickfire/CM triggers, ducky shine 2's, any filco keyboards, corsair K series (k65, k70, k95) and das keyboards are pretty decent too.
Thanks, and I also need a pair of headphones, I don't care if I need to buy a sound card.
Also, I heard that the ime 3.0 was a good mouse and the steelseries sensei, what are your opinions on it?

Both are OK but too expensive for what you get.
As for headphones, would they be for just gaming, listening to music, movies, etc. and will you be using them outside or just at your computer?

Gaming, listening to music, and sometimes movies, but mostly games like ARMA, etc. And always indoors. lol

Reds are really mushy though. Blacks would be better if you want a "gaming" switch.
other way around, blacks are the mushy ones. Blacks are the exact same as reds but just a bit worse. It requires more force to actuate, thus more "mushy".

Great for gaming and a great price at the moment too. Nice for music as well.
