So I was thinking about my pc and what would be the next upgrade... I wouldn't be able to do it this month but sometime in the future.. 

I was thinking maybe a monitor or a solid headset... Maybe a better cpu cooler to lower noice levels... Maybe get a second R9 270x?

 

Well here is my full set up.

        i5 4690k at stock speed for now.

        Asrock z97x killer motherboard

        16 gbs of crucial ballistics sports RAM

        Gigabyte windforce R9 270x 2gb 

         NZXT H440 red and black case

         EVGA 750w bronze powersupply

         1 tb western digital blue drive

         Hyper 212 evo with two corsair SP 120mm fans

         I have a good keyboard and mouse bundle thingy

         my monitor is an older 1680-1050 res monitor

          And my headset is a cheapo $30 headset from microcenter

Peripherals aside, do you have an SSD?

Hold on I havn't finished  writing it. My computer posted it before I was done... I am editing it still

 

Presuming you did finish writing out the specs, my original statement still stands, an SSD should be a vital part for any rig.

What SSD's would be a good bang for the buck option?

 

If you're strapped for cash, just get the cheapest 120/128GB SSD at your e-tailers. If not, get a 250GB 850 EVO.

Well I'm not going to cheap out but I'm not going to get something that isn't quit worth it. SO good for the money really. 

How much do the 850 EVO's run?
