I'm wondering how much of an effect hardware has on a player's ability to play tf2 competitively and on a player's ability to get better. I know it probably varies from player to player, but does quality of a player's hardware allow a good player to become great or does it simply offer a slight edge? The main reason I'm wondering is because I have a relatively old computer running XP with a stock, dell mouse, a stock, dell mousepad, a keyboard with no advantage over any other keyboard, and a 60hz monitor. I know playing the game and practicing is the best way to get better, but I'm curious.
