What should I ask for for my birthday? Budget isn't really set but nothing more than 2-300 usd. I was thinking the Gear 360 VR but I'm not really sure. What would you guys recommend for a fellow tech lover?

New mobo and cpu?

Maybe... I was thinking of waiting to get that since my CPU still gets good performance.

Alright but is there anything else you would recommend? Cause I can wait on those upgrades for whatever Intel and and have next (if it's lower end)

Oh okay...

PSU maybe? Because the components in PSU will wear out and not much lifespan is left.

Or a bigger SSD if you want.

A drone?

Good Idea. I just don't know how good a 300ish one would be. It wouldn't need a camera cause I have a GoPro.

i think a gaming chair or new keyboard and mouse will be cool

 

Keyboard upgrade is definitely not needed (G910) but a mouse isn't a bad idea with a chair.
