Would say either my Intel 180GB SSD or Logitech G710+. Both have completely blown my mind. I will never own a computer without a SSD as a boot drive every again. And getting my first mechanical keyboard in MX Browns really made me realize how sucky membrane keyboards are. I use one roughly 5-6 hours a day at work.

My backup is a 3x 1080p surround setup... one of the best decisions... although... normal speakers are a little weak IMO.

The projects never end in my line of work.

I love my Razer Deathadder 2013, it's been just perfect to me. It got me into HPC comp but I left very quickly lol.

 

My GTX 780 is a beast and never falls behind, I originally bought it for $400 and there's nothing I regret. Hearing of the 390X and the massive performance gains it may carry, I may retire it soon.

 

I love my i7-4790k forever. I just recently got it as an upgrade over an FX-8350 and everything on my PC has been plainly more pleasant.

 

My Crucial M500 240GB is outstanding, I never had an SSD until I had my M500, and I think it was worth every cent considering how fast everything is in terms of loading.

 

My Nexus 4, before it broke. It was my favorite phone, even compared to my Nexus 5.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

I have a few really good ones

Sennheiser HD598

Mechanical Keyboard (Razer Blackwidow)

Logitech G502- I spent north of a hundred on mice in total and they never seemed quite right, but this G502 is nearly perfect.

My desktop.

 

Screw it, my whole set up right now. Even my monitor is fantastic. Only things I need to fix are my chair and mousepad (my cat keeps on pulling threads out).

My Pebble! I love it so much, I had to sell mine before, and immediately bought another after. Super-handy, and it's waterproof and lasts a week unlike AW watches.

You don't think it's better than membrane...

My Apple Pro Keyboard from 2001 is incredible to type on (membrane), and I won't buy another keyboard unless it breaks, but even then it's in perfect condition 14 years later so...

 

It's just so click-y and satisfying to type on... Not sure how to explain it.

My Noctua NF-F12's were best $100 I have spent that did absolutely nothing meaningful to my pc.

Cooling is very meaningful. It's one aspect people like to skip over and go with cheap fans but if you buy decent fans they will work better and last longer. My stock NZXT fans in my case all died within the first year. My corsair sp120's work much better and have already lasted longer.

The fans I had were well performing, but weren't all that quiet, especially at idle (corsair sp120's and Fractal design stock 140mm fans). The nocutas didn't really improve temps, just made things more pleasant to listen to. But still, very much worth the money to me.

Yes, i used to use the wired apple keyboard, too, and it IS a fantastic keyboard, but will it really beat a mechanical keyboard with, say, cherry MX blues?
