So i have 850(SEK) which is around $131 USD and I know its not smart to just put money into worthless things but I was wondering if any of you could see something maybe asthetically pleasing or hardware related additions that I could add to my PC. If you would like to know my specs they are in my signature and if you want to see what my rig looks like currently you can go to my profile.

 

Thanks! :D Btw: I dont need MOAR ssd or hdd storage.

Maybe get LED Strips or something for your case. Or you can just get some Noctua NF-F12s

I have an NZXT Hue that I installed the other day!! :D Im really happy with it all except for the adhesive which seems to sag down ever hour or so. Ill just buy some double sided tape tommorow and itll be all good :) As for the nf-f12s, already got them in my rad ;)

I would get a fan controller maybe? Get that thing as quiet as possible. And then maybe some nice SP/AF fans for the color scheme match. Or at least any other fans.

I would save up for either another GTX 670 or if possible add the g-sync module to your monitor if it supports it

I have my nf-f12s in my rad pushing air out the top, one fractal fan pushing air out the back, and one fractal fan taking air in from the front right now. That leaves me with 1 more slot for another fan but I like to have silence in combination with good looks. I think I have a good, clean looking rig right now (You can go onto my profile and look at the pics then tell me what you think if you want). If I were to get a fan controller it would most likely be an NZXT Sentry but I have no clue how to use that or slow my fans without sacraficing air flow and preformance.

How much is a gsync module and does my Asus VS278Q support it?

 Yea, you seem to be fine honestly, And with a fan controller I would just lower them so they are completely silent. Other than that, you are probably fine.

 I dont know off the top of my head, but it's something to look into. I would check the compatibility chart to see, but I think they are only for super "high end" monitors.

Is this a "High end" considered monitor? This is what I have. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236302

I did a quick search and sadly I couldnt find an answer for compatibilty. I would wait for the tech to mature a little before going for it.

Im just going to save up for a second 670 or wait untill July (My birthday) and get a 780(maybe ti). I think my build is pretty much solid other than that.
