What's Your current Tech Hardware Priority?

Well, it would be definitely a GPU because my GT 430 is playing games on me (and I'm not talking about those that gamers enjoy... rip)

Upgrading my processor (so I can finally use DDR4, dagnabbit)

 

This will happen once Intel releases a processor with a higher than 4ghz baseclock,. AND has more than 4 cores, AND costs less money than selling kidney.

 

In other words, I guess I'm not upgrading for a while.

My Build, "Helios"

CPU: 5950x with Noctua NH-D15

GPU: MSI 2080ti

Case: BE QUIET! Dark Base 900 Pro

Storage: Samsung 970  pro 500gb (boot drive), unknown 2tb Seagate drive, 4tb WD Black drive

PSU: Corsair HX1000i

RAM: (4x8) Trident Z RGB

Remote PC Starter Kit

GPU is 1st.

CPU + Motherboard in 3rd and 2nd respectively (1st the mobo :p)

Dust filters for my case (Corsair sells individual parts for its own cases!)

New drive for my computer (The Force GS 128gb is honestly not really helpful, the 850 Pro is my OS boot drive and that one i wont change. But the WD Green makes games loading times and input lagg too high for most, being a low energy 5400RPM disk). 

Finally a keyboard, maybe for Christmas if my funding plans dont go to crap even more x-x, thanks to driving license.

1. new headset

2. new phone

3. new keyboard

4. new monitor

 

The keyboard and the monitor aren't that pressing though, I could do a few years more with the ones I have now.

I've been the process of a hardware refresh on my PC, after about 4 years it's that time!

Got the CPU, Mobo, and RAM done. Next up is the GPU and getting an SSD for the OS and some games. My laptop is also in desperate need of an upgrade for it's SSD (it came with a shitty little 128GB SSD)

GPU or CPU cooler (or SSD, if I wasn't so lazy and keen to how W10 is now running with a lot of little tweaks that I would reinstall it).

I pull back, I need a new CPU cooler more than anything. I do nothing with a new GPU when I cannot even get 4.4Ghz out of my FX-8350 without it hard throttling with my old cooler. Only problems are: 1) Do I buy Arctic Cooling Liquid Freezer 240 or something else? 2) Does my trusted store get it when I get my paycheck or not. I don't also care about SSDs, I'm married, I have time to wait :D

1) New headphones (I'm thinking the Philips SHP9500s)

2) Another SSD (mine is 93% full)

4) A new monitor

4) A new case (mine is kinda ugly)

5) A new graphics card (I want to VR but my current one can play all my games at 60fps max settings)

I hope DD WRT fixes the issues with my router or else Ill be buying a new router. But hardware PC wise Id probably upgrade my GPU from my HD7950. Though Im stick rocking an i5 3570K so about the time I think about getting the graphics card, I might just do a new build. 

 

Laptop wise Id like to upgrade from my 1TB SSHD or a full SSD, probably a Samsung 850 EVO in the 256 Gig to 500 Gig range. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

The SilverStone ML08B-H is a very nice LAN party case if you're interested.

If I ever get a 3rd monitor, I want it to be 1440p I think. I also think my next build is going to be a small form factor build. I looked at the 202 but it seems a little of a challenge.

I am planing on upgrading the overclocked G3258 (4GHz rock solid) in my bro's PC since it is bottlenecking the GTX 970 I gave him in some multiplayer games like overwatch. I'm planing on getting him an i5 4460. As for my PC, I'd like to upgrade to Kaby Lake or Sumit Ridge from my i7 4790K which heats up like a deamon, even with a H80i attached to it at stock speed and voltage, I'd also like to make it a bit more quiet by ditching the HDD and adding a large SSD, and a new case too. So basicaly a whole new PC.

ZamoRIG 2.0:

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 @ 3.9GHz

Cooling: DeepCool Captain 240 RGB + 2x Corsair ML120 fans

Graphics Card: Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming x2 

Motherboard: Asrock X370 Gaming K4

SSDs: 2xPatriot Ignite M.2 240GB

HDD: WD Black 1TB + WD Green 2TB

 PSU: Corsair RM750

Case: Corsair Carbide 400C

ZamoRIG “Portable”:

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 @ 4GHz
