You really don't need an electric hopper with just that set up. It won't hurt if you get one, but you by no means need it.
And get to know your gun. Don't dump $1500 into your gun before you even play 10 games. Play with it, get to know it, and figure out what you don't like about it. Then find an upgrade that will improve upon that "weakness" of the gun.

I'd look ahead to the future. I'd get an HPA tank, so you can use it on your 98, but also a new gun if you ever get one.

^^^^^

Good advice. HPA will make it loads better but costs quite a bit. If you don't have that much, consider a Rocket Cock 2. They make your gun quieter, more consistent and therefore more accurate. Best of all they're only about 20 bucks.

Uhh, I don't really see how a Rocket Cock makes your gun more consistent. But they're cool anyway.

The R/T is great for intimidation if that's what your going for.
An electric hopper would compliment that nicely.
I would also suggest playing a lot though.

go to google. images. type in rocket cock 2. I've done it so dont worrk about any nasty pics. And by the way the rocket cock 2 will not make your gun perform any better. its basically for looks

Thats exactly what I was thinking when I read that. The Rocket Cock does not make the gun more consistant. It is designed to cover the bolt so that no gumk and crap can get in there and jam up your gun. The fact that it muffles some of the noise from the internals of your marker is just a bonus. I have one, and I really like it. A very nice investment.. probably one of the most affordable upgrades you can get for your marker.
