Which Category Of PC Hardware Excites You The Most & Why !?

Motherboards and GPU's, mainly just because of all the new features. I also love cases.

well, cpu's have ben at a standstill like nothing new all eco freindly shit that idgaf about i want power with same cooling as sandy bridge that was ca$h

gpu's are very interesting espcially when a new like comes out like 800 series.

i like cases but kinda slow atm all im waiting for is that 780t from corsair that will be my next case in black

psu, meh

cooling is boring like its hard to make them better so im just trying to make my own coolers now, (TEC)

GPUs it's my #1 but surprisingly enough, I care more about cases this days than CPUs or Motherboards but I guess this is because I've been following CPUs for decades but only recently started to look into really awesome cases.

CPUs, because it's they who push the semiconductor fabrication technology the most. Such complex devices, it blows my mind.

When I hear that new GPU's that cost $150 are getting the same performance as a $250 GPU from one year ago, I get really excited because it means I can upgrade my GPU.

I love to learn about all of it... If it  has something to do with computers I love it.

At the moment, probably SSDs, especially because of what crucial and samsung have done this year. Samsung with 3D NAND and crucial with very cheap, very fast drives, both pushing the market in an important direction for consumers.

Otherwise, cases and cooling solutions is something I find rather interesting, with larger fans coming in from various companies and radiators to support them as well, along with cases starting to have more water-cooling optimised designs to them.

I'm really into mechanical keyboards. I'd love to get a collection of different switches going, if only they weren't so expensive.

I'm fascinated by the amount of work something that most people take for granted can have into it. The fact that there's so many alternatives is also really interesting.
