So, it finally bit the bullet. After almost three years, my Logitech MX518's wheel died. The rest of the mouse, while gimped due to the sudden loss, is working perfectly, however, I need my scroll. Although I'm not in the best of econic positions to be buying another mouse, I need some hands in the air to recommend me a new mouse, just for kicks, but still in the plane of reality. No $80 mice, and hopefully not the MX518 again (it's actually more expensive now than when I first bought it). The G5 looks mighty nice and I've been wondering if the grass is greener on the Microsoft or Razer sides of the fence. The Deathadder looks good, but I rather liked the thumb crevice the 518 had, this my G5 love. I honestly don't know much about the Microsoft mice, as I know they have a lot of mice with the no-friction wheel now, and I need clickiness.

I'm thinking this might be the best time to splurge and go all out on my computer. Get a new mouse, keyboard (been eying the G11 for a while), and finally save enough money for a GTS 250 (maybe a GTX 260 if I deem my PSU powerful enough) and a new 500GB SATA.

So, lowly denizens of CD, please heed the beckoning of my call. Help out a poor bastard like myself, and give me money suggestions. The mouse is currently the most important, but any pointers on my current build would be wonderful.

Here's my current setup, probably sitting around on CD somewhere anyways:

Raidmax Smilodon - ASUS M2N-E - AMD Athlon X2 5200+ @2.6Ghz (Windsor) - EVGA 8600GTS 256MB
Audigy2 ZS - Medusa 5.1 Headphones - Logitech x530 - Logitech MX518 (deadish ) - Logitech Basic Keyboard
320GB Seagate SATA - 160GB Maxtor IDE - 40GB WD IDE - Lite-On LH-20AIL
