(PC) Need some help with Updating

[Dannbro]

Hey guys,

 

So first of all let me get into why I'm creating this post, I'm a 21 year old guy who lives with his girlfriend and has a typical 9-5 job earning

enough to get by and have some things I want such as PC/Xbox games etc., Now I'm a typical PC gamer but purchased an Xbox One to play

with work colleagues ,I have been with my current girlfriend for 1 year on the 15th of April now being difficult 

to buy for she has no ideas on what to get me now I have been thinking about and i also have no ideas.

 

My current set is something like this:

 

CPU: Intel core i5-2500k CPU Quad Core @3.30Ghz

CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i

RAM: 16Gb Team Group 1333mHz 

RAM: 8GB Kingston Vengeance 1800hz

SSD: Kingston 120GB "OS"

SSD: Samsung 840 120GB "Games"

HDD: Seagate 1TB "Other Files"

Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LX  

Graphics Card: MSI R9 280 3GB x2

Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro PSU: Corsair CX750M

Monitor: XL2430T 24” 1920x1080 144Hz  

Monitor: GL2450H 24" 1920x1080 60HZ

Speakers: Logitech LS11  

Headset: Logitech G930

Keyboard: Corsair K70 Mechanical

Mouse: Corsair M45 Gaming  mouse

Mouse Mat: Corsair MM200

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S5 

 

Adding to this I also have an Xbox one with a couple of games that i barely play but own to play with work colleagues, the PC set-up i currently have need little or

if anything added to it because the only game i play on it at this point is league of legends so adding another monitor or graphics card is pretty much pointless.

The Cable running across the desk is the Charging cable for the Logitech headset usually goes behind the monitor to keep it out the way but as i was just finished

using it left it there, With adding another processor with the current motherboard I have also being useless as the only thing a new one would offer is hyper threading

which again I wouldn't use at all because I'm almost certain that League of Legends doesn't benefit from it. 

 

I've been watching Swashin's "Pimp My Setup" and the only thing that has even remotely jumped out at me was the 3rd monitor but I don't want her to get me something

for the sake of getting me something, after watching all of Linus's "Handy Tech under $100" again the only thing jumping out at me was the Phone stand but even then

i have the app that will notify me on screen if i get anything through (e.g. Phone call text).

 

With the picture i have attached the only thing that has changed is that the drawers are no longer under the desk, oh and please excuse the  random

dot of black this is a coaster with a picture of me and the girlfriend on that I blacked out to keep what I look like discreet.

 

 

So this being my question with this set up what is the next move for me?

 

Any ideas will be very much appreciated

 

Thanks 

Dan

truthfully..for your gaming needs...you don't need anything yet

If anything, I'd upgrade the i5 with an i7, but really, your golden.

Yeahh that was the plan to go from what i have no to an i7 3770k but then really as i said the only real change was the added hyper threading

for gaming...at 2k and 1080p....your cpu is fine for a while
