Ok so i have $200 and i dont know what to buy, i either want to get the corsair k70 rgb cherry mx brown and the aorus p3 thunder extended mouse pad. Or i could get an ocz 240gb ssd and 8gb of ram to upgrade my macbook that i recently purchased. So honestly i can really decide, so what would you gys do? Also the macbook is only used for editing on the go (which hardly ever happens), web surfing, photo editing, and programming using microsoft visual studios. So which would you do, and thanks.

SSD because you get an increase in performance from that. A standard decent TKL or full sized mechanical can be had for roughly 100$.

 

Spending 100$ extra to have a stupid rainbow keyboard seems like a waste to me. 

The novelty will wear off in at maximum one month, your SSD won't. 

 

if you need it that badly, many other leet backlit mechanical keyboards aren't 200$.

Which keyboard are you using currently?

I am currently using a dell keyboard with gatorade caps as legs.

A ssd makes a world of difference. The keyboard--not so much. It's less important than a good mouse imo. 

Moving thread to New Builds and Planning--please post in the correct sub-forum in the future.

HMMM..

 

Based on your profile w/ only a WD blue, I'd see if you could get a 256gb SSD (Should be around $100) and that keyboard.

 

The Mac can wait damnit!

Sorry i didn't put it there because i didn't think of it as a build or planning, more of just a general question.
