I upgraded or rather downgraded from Corei5 3570k in 2012 to AMD FX 8320 and then to Core i3 4130 now as I wanted to have a small footprint PC with lower power consumption so I went for the following:

This is what I had earlier:
1) AMD FX 8320,
2) Asus M5A97 R2.0,
3) Sapphire HD7770 1GB,
4) Microsoft Sidewinder X6 Keyboard,
5) Logitech G400 Mouse.

This is what I got now:
1) Intel Core i3 4130,
2) Gigabyte B85M-D3H,
3) Gainward GTX650ti Boost 2GB,
4) Cooler master Devastator Gaming Bundle.

The mouse pad was designed by me and made by printvenue.com for Rs.250

Gainward 650 Ti was a bad choice, should have gone for ASUS or Zotac.. something whose warranty is reliable

Or you can put a plastic on the back side of the mouse pad and use it like that..... :mrgreen:

Finally, you downgraded.

:rofl:

...btw on a serious note, the mouse pad is unequivocally ugly looking and you must get rid of it..asap...as suggested by flyingcow. Its a depiction of bad taste, the cabinet looks neat though :) congrats.

X6 is a 2 piece KB and G400 is making some kind of clicking noise when scrolling.So went with CM Combo which is a compact KB with mouse that does not make noise when scrolling.

It's a faulty piece then! Get it rma'd. It's the best mouse at the price point you'll ever see. And x6 too. Damn. Give em to me. B)

Its not a faulty piece but its natural for Logitech G400 to make that clicking sound when scrolling.So went with CM Combo instead.
