ROUND-UP
HEADSETThis headset is damn good.
Whether it’s the build quality,
the fit and feel of the cups, the
sound stage or the materials
used, it’s just awesome.Admittedly, the price is steep, but you
get a lot for your money. The fit and
feel is tight – not too constricting, but
secure. Noise isolation has
been paramount in the
design of the GSP 600,
and you can tell. The
likelihood of hearing much
outside of your game is slim.
On top of that, the soundscape is
incredible. It’s not a reference
soundstage, that’s for sure – the bass
is intense, enveloping, but unlike most
headsets, the treble doesn’t suffer
from it. It’s clear and an absolute joy
to listen to.

COSMOS C700P
http://www.coolermaster.com £260A premium case with a legendary
heritage. The C700P is a fantastic
combination of aluminium, RGB and
design merged into a XL Tower. With
an array of great features, it’s
perhaps one of the best
chassis out there at this
price point.

EVOLV FLOW
http://www.phanteks.com £200This is an upgrade to the ATX
variant, and thanks to its honeycomb
cutouts, enables superior internal
airflow to its predecessor,
making it ideal for anyone
looking to craft a
liquid-cooled system.FRACTAL DESIGN MESHIFY C
http://www.fractal-design.com £80The Meshify may be at the more
budget end of the spectrum, but it still
touts an arsenal of features. Whether
that’s the support for up to a 360mm
radiator, tempered glass side
panel, or great cable
management support, it’s
a case that can do it all.SENNHEISER GSP 600

HEADSETThe tried-and-true Steelseries
Arctis brand is one we trust for
providing solidly built,
comfortable headsets.The Arctis 3 Bluetooth edition is a bit
of an odd one, though, as it lacks the
USB connectivity and RGB lighting of
the Arctis 5, yet costs more than it
too. The headset is designed for a
very specific scenario, and that is for
the mobile gamer.
You can, of course, plug it directly
into your rig via the analogue cables,
but the battery is reserved for
Bluetooth use only. The soundscape
is good, great even – well balanced
with no emphasis on either end. But
paying an additional £55 for
Bluetooth seems a bit steep.
