          Only if you play lots of mouse/keyboard games. I would be more picky about a controller.

              @Supreme_Overlord since the will probably be used for Steam games, check out the Steam controller. I got one (2nd one is a regular xbox wireless) and it has been pretty good. And it can go wired or wireless.

                  yeah these go on sale quite often so you might want to wait until you see it

                    Exactly. That's the beauty of the Steam store wish list - they email you when your stuff is on sale.

                      I use a Steam Controller for nearly everything. All depends on your gaming desires and style.

                            What kind of CPU cooler is best? Are there certain specs we have to make sure it has?

                              What do we do now? The Steam controller is what made SO many games actually usable! Dammit. That was a literal game changer.

                                  Yep they had a blow out sale in November. Then they announced they were clearing stock and cancelling un-shipped orders. There was rumor about a V2 coming out but nothing has materialized yet.

                                    That's SO sad. REALLY sucks. We use those for absolutely everything.

                                      I totally forgot that happened. This was when they were selling steamlink for $1 right. I think all of it was on sale
