So, there are a few areas I would like to upgrade my gaming setup... but realistically can only afford one at the moment, just curious to see what route you guys think is best.

 

Current specs:

Coolermaster XB Evo

I7 930 @ 4ghz

Corsair H50

6gb corsair ram

GTX 650 ti boost

120gb and 64gb SSDs

750gb HDD

750w Silverston psu

Samsung syncmaster 21in 1680x1050 minitor

HP 1920x1080 monitor

Razer arctosa keyboard

Razer Deathadder mouse

Shitty metal chair with pillow added for comfort

Dual boot windows 7 and Ubuntu 14.04

 

Ideally I want to do a complete rebuild and keep this setup as a lan rig.. but there are other, more important, expenses coming up.

 

The 3 avenues I was looking at were

1. Get mechanical keyboard

2. Upgrade GPU to GTX 970

3. Get a new chair ( dxracer or something )

 

and I guess there is a 4th option.

4. do nothing and just save for a ~$2500 build

 

Out of those 4 options... which do you think is the most beneficial? At the moment I am pretty busy with classes so I really only game a bit, and when I do it's usally CS:GO.

 

any input is appreciated.

 

Cheers.

CPU: i5 6500 | GPU: GTX 960 SSC | MOBO: Asus Z170m-Plus | RAM: 16GB DDR4 G.Skill | Case: Fractal Designs Node 804 | PSU: EVGA 750w

Well, since you play mostly cs:go, I would recommend anything that would make that experience better. A new graphics card wouldn't do that too much, since it's not too intensive, so i would recommend any of the other options.

 

I would get the mechanical keyboard first, unless you're current chair is really bad and you're okay with using your current keyboard for a while.
