An GeForce GT 610, which I bought in order to not have to use integrated graphics (bear in mind this IGP would have trouble running 1080p60 video). I could've went for the GT 630 for 20€ more, but no, I had to be impulsive.

I really don't game that much anymore, and I already have several (albeit crappy) laptops at my dorm.

My GTX 970, saw that it was the only one in store, bought it, less than 6 months later its failing, there was a blow up with Nvidia about the specs, and doing an RMA for it is a pain in the ass.

My Crucial M550 256gb SSD. It was on sale when I got and in the fear of the sale expiring soon, I jumped the gun even though I actually planned to get an SSD in the next 1-2 months.

I make app impulse buys every day because I quit drinking coffee. For real tech? There are few that I regret. Probably my G3258. It's just sitting here in a box with a motherboard and some RAM. I can't figure out what to do with it.

I can't think of many impulse buys really... I usually spend a few weeks-months researching something before I buy it. 

I guess my tablet was KIND of a impulse buy. I didn't do as much research as I should have but it all turned out fine so that is defiantly good!

Is it bad that my dream setup only costs a few thousand not counting the obutto?

About to buy 2 extra 1080p monitors and a second 970 for surround gaming, along with my pre-planned upgrade parts for my moms PC. Randomly decided that it would be better to get that stuff than buy a pistol variant of an AK.

 

 

Tough decision, when you pick up a pistol AK all you can really do is giggle. lol

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

My G550Jk. If I'd given it a bit more though I probably would have bought something else for a laptop.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)
