Your most expensive and appreciated pc component?

Hello everyone, so my question is what computer component/components you like the most, even if you have a pre built computer by a gaming brand. I must say that the ones i favour the most are my power supply and motherboard. My LTP is also just as important and liked. The reasons are because of theyr efficiency and its thanks to the that i dont pay over 40€ in eletricity. Well thats it, say if youd like whats your favorite pc part and explain why if possible. Thanks everyone.

Dat Comic Sans, it hurts!

 

For me, my most expensive part is my GPU and I'm quite fond of it, because without it I wouldn't be able to play my games!

New to Star Citizen? Look no further!

GTX 980, and my GD-80

i7 4820K :), Paid 190 for it.

HD 7950 I had too, Sapphire edition. Awesome Awesome card, It goes hand in hand with the 4820K in terms of being really powerful yet running nice and cool.

 

4820K is the Best CPU i've ever owned, 2nd does have to go to the 3800+ Athlon i had but that wasnt a single bought part.

 

I think i paid a tiny fraction though over 190 for my GTX 590 (which would be the most expensive component i've bought) but i cant appriciate it cause that card HAD MAJOR EFFING ISSUES.

Hey bro whatcha DOOOOOOOOIN *Barfs fruit salads on your chest*

i7 4820K / Sapphire Radeon HD 7970GHZ 6GB \ 16GB Corsair Vengeance (4X4) / Gigabyte X79-UD3 \ EVGA Supernova G2 850W / Windows 7 Ultimate / Dell U2412M \

Dat be spooky....my hella rad pootpoot *u*

When I was buying it, my 840 EVO was the most expensive and important component I invested in. But they've gone down in price so much since then...

 

I suppose now it's probably my 780 Classified. For some reason they've skyrocketed in price - I bought mine last year for £316 new with delivery, whereas now I'd be spending £450 or thereabouts for a new one. £380 for a second hand one. There go my plans of two way SLI. :(

My HDx cards by far... They run a few thousand each but my work is almost impossible without them.
