IDK, might have to finally return my laptop. And then get the money.

And then get my first non-VAIO.

 

Which will suck.

Ah. Fuck Fry's (seriously, I'm going through hell right as we speak trying to redeem one of their gift cards on their STUPID site and cannot do it for some god damn reason....).

I have been through so much tech hell in the last couple of days that I'm just so done with things not being perfect...

Fry's website is horrible and is much better if you go in store to use your gift card instead.

GTX 970 (Have the money for, just have yet to purchase)

1-3 1080p monitors to replace my single 1050p monitor.

another 2x4GB pack of ram for a total of 16GB.

250GB Samsung 840 evo.

New hard drive, probably a 1TB WD Blue, 1TB WD Black, or 2TB WD black.

New keyboard to replace my shitty dell keyboard that is like 8+ years old and is covered with who knows what.

Possibly new speakers.

A Corsair Air 540 to replace my 230t.

Some more fans to add onto/replace the stock fans.

AIO Water Cooler

Maybe a new desk

And maybe a camera.

 

I'll probably only end up getting like 4 of the things on this list unless I get a decent paying job.

EDIT: "Fry's is horrible and it should die in a fire."

Or did I read that wrong :P

I'll list them in order of priority... Headphones+mic, liquid cooling/cpu fan (not too sure of my plumbing skills yet), mechanical keyboard, a second display... I don't think I'm missing anything. :P
