(Part 2) Best products from r/playrust

I'll go from cheapest to most expensive here:

Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7GM - $199

AKG K702 - $232 (I have the older version of these, the K701s, and they've been going strong for ~8 years. Can't recommend them enough.)

HIFIMAN HE-400I - $249

Sony MDR1A - $298

Monoprice Monolith M1060 - $299

Sennheiser HD 650 - $315.99

AKG K712 - $379

Most of these headphones will really shine with a little headphone amp to give them a bit more power than your computer or phone's audio output can deliver. Something like a FiiO E10k works amazing. Or the FiiO A3 for a portable solution. Or if you want something that looks a bit sexier and is more of a stay on your desk kind of thing, you can go for something like this or this. Either way, any of these headphones will blow your Bose cans away no question - like not even in the same league of sound quality.

Because I'm bored and do this for a living I'm going to put together an alt build for you:

Nice entry level Skylake gaming Mobo (I've used this, it's nice, has USB 3.1 which will be very helpful in the coming years for data transfers)

Processor: G440

https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80662G4400-Pentium-Processor-FCLGA1151/dp/B015VPX05A

RAM (only 8GB but get 16 if you can afford another $40 or so)

https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-HyperX-2133MHz-Non-ECC-HX421C14FBK2/dp/B00TY6A1P0/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1486579959&sr=1-5&keywords=DDR4

Video card:

RX 470 OC edition, I like this card great bang for the buck:

https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Radeon-RX-470-ARMOR/dp/B01N3TCNNW/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1486580034&sr=1-1&keywords=RX+470+4gb

SSD: budget one, but way better than a spinning drive:

https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-240GB-Internal-SP240GBSS3S55S25AE/dp/B01M61OWRI/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1486580111&sr=1-1&keywords=240gb+ssd

Power supply:

no reason to spend more with this build:

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Warranty-Power-Supply-100-N1-0400-L1/dp/B00LV8TZAG/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1486580138&sr=1-1&keywords=400+watt+power+supply

Case:

https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-VERSA-Micro-Gaming-Computer/dp/B01CLIZ698/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1486580162&sr=1-5&keywords=micro+atx+case

total cost of build is roughly:


Mobo ($70)

CPU ($60)

GPU ($170)

RAM ($70)

SSD ($60)

PSU ($30)

Case ($40)

So total is roughly $500 and with this build you have a great upgrade path, which you won't have at all with the one you proposed.

Yeah I'd rather not play it if it's going to look that bad lol. I was thinking about buying this laptop. I'm not a pic gamer but I want to try it out. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01DT4A2R4?#Ask would you guys recommend for rust? Thanks so far for the help.

These are some good questions! The refresh rate for a TV is far less than something you would want for mouse and keyboard gameplay.

I'm going to be honest with you, razer peripherals are not the way to go and reviews will show you this. If you want quality gaming stuff I will link it below:

you mean this one https://www.amazon.com/Windows-10-Home-USB-English/dp/B07PTST7WR/ ? That is the home edition. Super limited.

Anyway, my point is that not everybody has to like (and use) windows and rust was sold as supporting linux, so at least they should show some care with their linux players

Honestly it’s been a while since I’ve been in the market, but what you’re looking for is a headphone amp or mini amp with a three tone equalizer. Here is one that looks pretty good.

I found the engraving service on Amazon: http://amzn.com/B00ES4JP1O

I grabbed the icons off of the Items page of the Rust Wiki: http://rust.wikia.com/wiki/Rust_Wiki

I converted the icons to greyscale then adjusted the contrast until everything was black and white with little to no grey: http://imgur.com/3WzOGIl

If anybody wants to get some other icons made, let me know and I will do my best to quickly turn around the icons!

Edit: Big thanks to /u/Angry_Gnome for introducing me to this game, I wanted to return the favor somehow!

Thankfully you don't need to spend much.. something like this would be more than enough, or for even cheaper, this would be fine for a few of your most-played games.

I'd also recommend running your OS from a (different) SSD as well.
