My machine is only a little over a year old and I'm pretty happy with it. That being said I've thought about swapping out the 16 GB of Hyper X Fury 2666 RAM for 3000 speed, but I'm not sure if that would make much difference. I have also thought about switching out the 1070 ti for a 2070 Super. I may put that on the Christmas wishlist when I hand it in to my wife and in-laws.

GPU because GCN 1.0 Linux support is ass.

 

 

Three new monitors would also be nice but I don't need those as bad as I need a GPU upgrade, and I would also love a few specific vintage keyboards but most of them are absurdly hard to find and/or expensive.

Quote me to see my reply!

Go ultrawide.  I've been wanting to move up to 3440x1440 and that new ASUS PG35VQ is tempting.

As I upgraded my GPU a few weeks ago, I would upgrade either my CPU (to a Ryzen 9 given an unlimited budget, but more likely a Ryzen 3700X). Not sure if my motherboard would be fit for either though :P

A RAM upgrade would be good to have as well. And HDD.. And motherboard too of course!

my 2060 super to a 2080 ti. (maybe if there was a combo deal with 2080 ti and a pg27uqx :p, jk) but yeah a 2080 ti would pair well enough with an oc'ed 9600k

makes me wonder, what the resale value on the highest ram chip available is

64GB ram card?

how many ram slots in a server board?

;)

Honestly I'd probably be upgrading my monitor(s). Get up to 1440p 144Hz GSync. Currently rocking 1080p 75Hz (OC'd from 60Hz) and while the monitors are good for the money I'd quite like something a little more

How about the opposite like this? Rigid tubing but only on the GPU while the CPU stays aircooled..

(this is not mine)

I want to taste AMD current gen Ryzen 7 3700X, but this will require new motherboard, so it won't suit this topic. My 8700K is still glorious tho, at least up to next 2 years, hopefully..

 

I don't mind the look of his too much. The 90 degree fittings make it look good considering its a mini wc build.

Prolly get a blue ray drive but I'm quite content with my PC atm.

 

Storage couldn't hurt but I guess I'd want to have Ethernet but that's a network thing.

New GPU. I'm wholly content with my 1700X (and my 16GB of RAM lol), now it's the GPU's turn to step up its game so I can actually play modern games at 2560x1600 (or, more accurately, VSR 3840x2400).
