Don’t spend money just because you can. If you need or want something specific, go for that. If there is nothing you are currently looking to get, save it until you do find something you want or need.

I am far from an expert in this so please correct me if I’m wrong.

blow it all on rgb and pudding keycaps, not as exciting as drugs and hookers but those may be a bit worse for your health in the long run

Do your parents proud and save it, blow it on something big when you have more.

I dunno, if you don't have something you really want/need invest it into something for the future. I've been thinking about getting into an investment app like acorn.

I would just spend it on lttstore.com underwear. If you already have lttstore.com underwear, save up and buy a new tablet or a new GPU

A new mouse with extra buttons?

 

Some new games that have just come out?

 

A more comfortable chair if you sit at a desk?

 

Of course, if you are likely to get more money soon (Christmas is coming, maybe a birthday?) you could save it and put it towards a new monitor or GPU, or CPU.

Fair enough. 

 

I mentioned the chair because it's actually something I've heard a lot of people complain about over the years.

 

Having something comfortable, that is designed for an office and for extended periods at a desk, can really make a difference - especially if you are someone who plays for a long time each day.

 

The difference between a quality gaming/office chair and a patio chair is obvious.

 

Anyway, you are covered so that's all fine.

 

Monitor is a good shout, in my opinion  - as we all know it can (if your components are capable) offer you an instant upgrade in resolution and/or fps.

 

Anyway, good deals are everywhere at the moment so it's a great time to be in the market, isn't it?
