i mostly play starcraft
senn 280's= $80
deathadder=$50
what keyboard should i get?

For tenkeyless: I say go for a Leopold. Full size: go for the Rosewill (watch for discounts!). Backlit: Ducky Shine. Need / want to brag: your favorite Filco. Other people can give you switch suggestions, if you need it.

I got a Sol Republic headset a few weeks ago and it sounds just as good as $400 Dr. Dre Beats for about 1/4 of the price. Also has built-in microphone if you're into gaming.

To be fair, my Fostex T50 RP sound better than Beats, and they were $73 shipped.

That does look interesting. Big f@ing cans!! How is the bass on T50 RP?

Edit: just reread your post, the headset your looking at already seems good. I had the lower model a year ago and they were much better than anything else I had used for the same price.

Logitech G9x mouse is awesome, and for headset I say Logitech G35.
Own both of them and I love em

You can't go wrong with AKG K240s for headphones. I bought some over 10 years ago and they're still one of the most clear and clean sounding headphones out there. There's a reason why so many studios use them.
The Sennheisers are great too, especially if you need the closed back to drown out any other noise. I'm not sure how comfortable they are, but I've worn the AKGs for over 10hrs on international flights without even remembering I had them on.

I use a razer imperator (http://store.razerzone.com/store/razerusa/en_US/pd/productID.171793100) mouse for SCII, along with normal computer usage (I was able to pick it up for ~60$). I personally can say this mouse is amazing and I have found not one fault it it. The ability to adjust the dpi with one of the buttons is amazing. If you have any questions about the mouse, I would be glad to answer.

I second this. I love my G500. It's fantastic.

I forgot to mention: The sennheiser HD280s are pretty nice. I got the chance to hear some not too long ago: they're respectable.
Unfortunately, I can't comment on their "precision" or gaming performance, though I would recommend the audio technica ATH-AD700 and a microphone. They have splendid separation of sounds/instruments, and excellent soundstaging: I'd say they're the best I have for gaming.
You should be able to get them at Amazon, unless they've sold out yet again.

R.A.T 9 mouse looks awesome. I would buy it if it's wireless. Too many wires on my desk already.
Get RAT 9 + Filco Camo = awesome combo.
