Was thinking about a RAM upgrade, but I'm planning on recycling my RAM in to my dads PC and buying black and white HyperX RAM when I get an MSI Krait, and 4690k eventually

Maybe a headset? Must have decent mic and good audio. No gaming headsets if you can.

 

Thanks!

Now headphones, later a mic?

My PC only costs $150, heh.

 

But I guess audio and RAM are your best bet right now.

I would save up for a future motherboard and processor upgrades.

Upgrade your audio solution first, it will make a huge difference. The FXD70s are the IEMs I usually recommend under $50 and they are insanely good for the price (go and do some research on them on head-fi if you don't trust me):

A cheap IPS monitor (it'll make a huge difference from a 32" 1080p TV):

Then later down the line I would definitely upgrade the CPU because it might be bottlenecking the GPU a bit. For $150 for CPU+motherboard though it wouldn't be a worthwhile upgrade and frankly what you interact with is more important IMO (meaning mouse, keyboard, screen, audio solution)

Thanks man

My bedroom is being converted in to an office for me and my dad, so two nice big monitors (26in+, IPS) for each of us are most likely on their way.

Will definitely look at those earphones, although I was hoping for something more comfy, like a headset, I guess. I still need good earphones for sports etc. so I might end up with them anyway
