There are a lot of ways to measure a gamer's personal style: Kill-to-Death ratios, class choices, progression, the ability to endure 60 hours of clicking, and -- naturally -- gaming peripherals. Nothing speaks more to gaming finesse than arming oneself with the latest, most expensive keyboard, a 7.1, nay, 19.5 surround-sound headset, a 17-button mouse, and a comfortable chair. The same can be said for those making use of creaky, yellowed, fuzzy keyboards and mice from the 90s (which, allegedly, are no longer considered to be "10 years ago.")

One of the most expensive keyboards out there. Good news: The price was dropped to 60,000 rubles.

What sort of stereotypes arise from categories of peripherals, then? After our gaming personalities article, we figured it was time to delve a bit deeper into archetypal gaming traits. Everyone needs some narcissism now and then.

Proper preventative maintenance can extend the life of your computer by many years, as we've written about previously, but getting to a point of maintaining requires, of course, the completion of an actual build. Between beginners, intermediate builders, and enthusiasts, there's an abundance of cool hardware utilities for system building, testing, and benchmarking. With anything from a screwdriver to 'anklet' ESD straps to open-air test benches, there are many applications of the ever-increasing selection of hardware assembly tools out there.

In this guide, we'll look at the Must-Have PC building tool kits, testers, and benches that aim to make your life as a system builder easier.

Going crazy with mod installations, as we did in our previous Skyrim Overhaul kit, can lead to constant CTDs, freezing, black screens, glitches, and crashing; despite how fun running through every possible solution in a crash fix guide is, it's not fun at all to potentially wipe your Skyrim installation clean and remove all mods. Having installed well over 100 mods myself (with many, sadly, being removed), I've now tested a variety of methods to troubleshoot mods in Skyrim. Let's run through the troubleshooting techniques so you can find the conflicting mods in your TES installation!

"I have to kill the injured -- how could I kill my own wife?" pleaded Haedrig, the town's stereotypical blacksmith whom I'd just met -- his voice was melancholic and filled with fear; his wife, having been injured by one of the interloping zombies, was now condemned to death to prevent spread of the disease. My character interjected: "She'd want you to do it. Here, I'll help you." Well, that's probably not what I'd say to someone I'd just met -- especially when I don't know Haedrig's wife in the slightest. I feared the response I would receive, wondering how my character could be so pompous and socially inept. Luckily, Haedrig was just as bad: "OK! Follow me!"
