Other than the PS4 I am also a huge Counter Strike fan which I play on my MSI GL63 8RC Gaming Laptop(spent 57K). Since It's the only game I play on it, did not feel like going for a really high end gaming laptop. The specs are as below -
Processor - Intel i5 8th Gen 8300H 2.3Ghz, Turbo Boost upto 4Ghz
Graphics Card - GeForce GTX 1050 4GB
RAM - 8GB DDR4@2400MHZ
I guess people going by this name are real hardcore gamers
I would really love to share my gaming accessories and machines with you.

I am not much of a console gamer, but my primary gaming equipment is an Alienware 17R3 laptop that I picked up from the US back in my 2nd year of college days. Still runs strong and plays any game you throw at it with ease on High settings, if not Ultra.

PC & Console games - Discussion Thread-20191027_185318.jpg

Under the hood:
i7 6700-HQ @2.6GHz Turbo up to 3.6Ghz
GTX 970M 3GB
8GB DDR4 High Voltage Ram
1TB Hitachi 7200 RPM HDD
17'3 inch Full HD anti-glare TFT panel
Anti-ghosting keyboard
19 Macro keys
Klipsch 3D surround system with subwoofer
11 zone LEDs

Got this for a cool 89k from Saratoga, California with Alienware Vindicator. In India, this would have cost me around 1.6L.

I also have a gaming PC setup at my hometown which I rarely use (Job location is different). Currently, Dad uses it for his daily tasks. I don't have a pic of it but I have got one of its component's pic when I built it.

I also have a number of gaming peripherals that I have bought over a course of 3-4 years of time.

PC & Console games - Discussion Thread-img_20180618_212609.jpg

1. Logitech G633 Artemis Spectrum 7.1 Wired Headsets
2. Razer Kraken First edition
3. Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury (got this as a birthday present)
4. Steelseries Rival 300 Black Edition (got this for 1900 INR, Flipkart Big billion sale)
5 & 6. Razer Deathadder

And here is my latest addition to the collection -

Alienware AW 510M (bought it from Pennsylvania, USA during the black Friday deals. It was approximately retailing in India for about 11k, got it for 5300 INR there)
It's super overpriced. I will not recommend this mouse at this price.

That's quite a lot of peripherals you are having. I remember getting a Razer Naga + Razer Scarab as a gift on Valentines day way back in 2012 The mouse mat came in its own enclosing case & using a 17 button mouse took my skill to the next level in World Of Warcraft !

Well that's my 2009 Dell Studio 15 which came with ATI HD 4570 graphics. Back in the days i was an Alienware fan, till i realized Predator owns Aliens (JK)

The Alienware mouse will surely look good well with your setup, same way i was thinking of getting an Acer Predator series mouse. However this is the age of ultra light & cheap gaming mouse like FinalMouse and Glorious



However the official seller in india meckeys want 5K INR for $50 mouse, which is why i skipped this.

Initially I was also thinking of getting an Alienware M15 R2 but these things are just to overpriced here in India and besides the only game that I play on it is Counter Strike which will run smoothly on a decent rig. Loved your desktop setup here. I also built one some 9 years ago which was a beast at that point of time. I gave it to my cousin some 5 years ago. Here are the specs and the photos :


RAM - 8GB Ripjaws X @ 2133MHZ
Processor - Intel i7 2600k overclockable
Graphics Card - Two Ati Radeon 6950's [2+2GB]

I'm not quite sure what comes with season pass etc. I played on my roommates Xbox so don't know the details of the purchase and account. But I got to play the main arc as well as Atlantis arc, If that tells you anything.

Re: PC & Console games - Discussion Thread

Thanks to the lock-down, I am learning to play Counter Strike now! Me, and my friend from college are trying it out now, a decade after dismissing it while every hostel guy in class kept raving about it. Being day-scholars, we had too many other ways to kill time and did not resort to killing people online

We both speak to each other on the Discord app continuously and play, and though it has been just two weeks now, we realize we are too under-skilled to play such games. Basically in a Deathmatch, any Tom, Dick and Harry can dominate us (especially me) and my friend keeps saying on discord "Change the gun, try this gun this is too good" and I calmly reply saying that its not that gun that is the problem here

Its quite surprising that Steam has made the Counter Strike: Global Offensive available for free, and I think that has paid off and made it a hugely popular game.

FH4 is fun, got my one X just for it; I have been addicted to it since months now.

Here are a few shots I have taken in last few Months, along with my playing set up and a gameplay video

Let's share our Xbox gamer tags here so we can have a party started and meet up inside games. Like a team-bhp meetup in Forza Horizon 4
Let's see what choice of rides everyone shows up with.

My gamertag is amrutmhatre90

BTW to have multiplayer access one needs Xbox live.
Xbox Game Pass ultimate is going up for Rs.50 for the 1st month, try to grab it and install Forza Horizon 4.

Superb shots man! I too have found a new interest in photography thanks to FH4, too bad I can't take photos like these in real life.
