So, Iv'e recently built a new PC. It's super great and fast, handles anything i can throw at it brilliantly. I have been saving up for and gathering technical knowledge for that project for years. So the question is, how do I blow my money now? :P I'm thinking of getting a really high end setup to surround the compoter with, but I don't know if it's worth it. As it is now, I have decent peripherals, but for example the keyboard has membrane switches, and the stuff is becoming outdated to be honest. My screens are ok as well, but not good. I have a computer made to push out 100+ fps in all games, but I have a 60Hz monitor *facedesk*. So what should I do, get peripherals, screens, stay away completely? Anyone been in this situation before please share your experiences.

Invest in screens, keyboard, and most importantly- a good desk and chair

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

I got an awesome new PC, and the first thing I upgraded was peripherals.

I'm using my PC that much I want the experience to be comfy, so spending money on decent peripherals was worth it to me.

 

60Hz+ I'm not too fussed about, I don't play games at a high enough level to care, Though that could change If I actually get a go on a 120/144 Hz monitor.

 

Oh, and now that I'm seeing it, do you have a second monitor? That would be worth it more to me than a increase in Hz. 

Second monitor is huge improvement, you wouldn't want to go back. (Couldn't tell from your sig if you do have a second, so maybe ignore me :) )

CPU: 6700k GPU: Zotac RTX 2070 S RAM: 16GB 3200MHz  SSD: 2x1TB M.2  Case: DAN Case A4

OOOh maybe one of them fancy racing chairs, did not think of that before :D

 

get a car

 

Not old enough to drive in sweden, and also I live in stockholm, easier to live without a car here. Traffic never moves, ever. And there are 2 million people trying to make it move...

 

mechanical keyboard

 

cpu cooler 

 

1440p monitor

 

lights for pc?

 

games to play.

 

Got a DH-15 cooler, so I'm good there :P Lights? well, h630 has no window, and there are lights in the back and front already, so check I guess.

Well I have some old 4:3 monitor as my second monitor, it's really good at what it does, which is basically show skype or youtube etc. whilst im gaming :P

Everything here is free it seems like, it's a very socialist country. You can get everything for free here, not even kidding. Thats why I have money left over to blow on PC stuff

Defiantly get a good keyboard. I have a Das Keyboard Model S Ultimate with MX Blues and I love it so much. Worth every penny.

 

Also, I would invest in a good sound card or DAC and a pair of killer headphones. I have a Xonar ST and it pairs very nicely with HD600/HD650 headphones.

 

If you are looking to blow boat loads of money, I've read only good things about the Woo Audio WA7 Fireflies paired with HD800s
