Upgrading to x99, just waiting for the order to arrive. Planning on a new GPU at some point but first want to see what AMD has to offer, and whether Nvidia has anything to say in return.

 

Edit:

If there's a consumer release of the Oculus Rift this year I'll snatch one of them as soon as they're released, so excited to try it out.

Asus X99-Deluxe  |  i7 5820k  |  16GB DDR4  |  MSI GTX 980 Ti 6G  |  Samsung 850 Evo + 840 Evo 500GB  |  NZXT H440

Hoping to buy a 750D, more ram, a 4790k, white led strips and the new aio cooler from corsair.

But i don't know when, because everything is so damn expensive in Norway.

I'm also going to build a system with an AMD FX6300 and 660ti for my brother in two weeks.

I just got a CPU cooler than I have been saving up for.

I want a bluray optical drive.

And maybe some new headphones.

And then at some point I plan on getting an Xbox One so I can get Halo 5.

A new laptop. College is coming up quickly for me and I will need either a new laptop or a tablet to be able to do coursework. That and maybe some new headphones. My razer headset is fantastic, it just doesn't have the best build quality and is thusly beginning to fall apart in some respects.

An SSD

That's basically it tbh

I might look into some custom cables, I have an EVGA power supply and they sell colored cable kits. I might get a blue set to match my XSPC Raystorm CPU block. Other than that, I might upgrade my monitor, I think my rig specs will be plenty good for some time.

Canon T6i

Sigma 18-35mm

GTX 960

HTC One M9 if it appeals to me (hoping for a stellar camera).

 

Other than that, I'll be pretty set until the I buy all this stuff and lust after more things.
