Speakers! A pair of TSI100s by Polk Audio, they serve their purpose very well.
There's also the player that sits on the shelf instead of the desk, its a Sony NS900V, it belonged to Renato Lira from Audiopax way back when. Some say it was used for testing with various customized speakers, it can be seen on some pictures on his website.

OK. Took me a little longer to get home to my computer than I thought. But here you go. Pics of my little setup area. I have a Grunt Pop Figurine still in box on the right of my monitor. The Normandy SR1 on top of my Phanteks P400S and an N7 Case badge on the front of my case. On the left of my monitor is my working Omni Blade from the Mass Effect franchise. Plus my wife did a few Tali Zora custom paintings for above my monitor and on the wall to my left. Above the Tali painting on my left is a Garrett Hawke limited edition Dragon Age 2 print. Number 384/500 signed. Oh and on my left side is my old first generation I7 Toshiba Laptop with an nvida geforce 230M in it. That bad boy still runs games....not all but most. And yes....I vape. Its on the stand to my left. Keeps me from smoking and well...I enjoy it.

Oh boy
Corsair is good for PSU's. If you give them enough money that is. Their cheaper models WORK, yet, their boundaries are way lower then others. Too much stress and bam, you're boned. On the other hand, in certain/most situations, you should be fine.
Read the above for reference on Corsair's CX(M) series!
If you plan to upgrade to i5, I would suggest to plainly wait. Skyrim is more CPU intensive iirc, and believe me, with my second generation mobile i5 (second generation), it's not a dream to run. At all. If you have the choice, save up for an i5.
Also, do you plan to overclock your i5?

I suggest going with and AMD CPU if you're on this tight of a budget.
And if you say "Intel Master Race", no. Unless you plan on upgrading to i5 or an i7 pretty soon (which will be easier with the i3's mobo), you should go AMD.
I'm also going to be that guy and say watch out with cheap Corsair power supplies. See if there's more reliable stuff (EVGA, XFX...) avaiable at the same price range.
Also, budget and build uses if you want better suggestions.
(If gaming, tell us which is the heaviest game you want to run. A League Of Legends machine is not the same as a Crysis 3 machine)

aprofile reacted to Sakkura in new GTX 950 vs used R9 270X
Performance is overall about the same, the 950 uses less power and has a more modern feature set.

I have a 270x, and its a really capable little card. I'm planning on upgrading after the new generation is out, but I've been pleasantly surprised by my card. Not sure how it compares with a 950, as I know its a bit older, so I'd suggest finding a few in game benchmarks for what you want to play.
