Upgrading, I need help.

Hello guys

Okay, I will warn you in advance. This will be a long post and I hope you guys will read it and help me. I really need help right now.

I have had a pretty hard time the last 3 years with school but I'm graduating My life has really been hard but my parents want to give me something back for all my hard work.

They want to buy me a present for around 400 euro. They don't want to give me money but really something/things you can give.

I have several things in mind:

1. A new chair. I game a lot and I don't have a good chair at the moment. I was thinking about one of those AK Racing chairs, but I don't know a lot about them and which brands are cheaper etc etc. What would y'all recommend for that?

2. A new monitor. I currently use a BenQ GL2460HM. I mean it's ok but I play a lot of Counter Strike. I play in tournaments and league's with my team. At the big tournaments like ESL and Dreamhack they always use those fancy BenQ monitors with 144Hz. It sounds appealing. I might want to get one of those. Apparently they make you play better. What kind of monitor would you recommend?

3. A PC upgrade. I mean my PC is pretty good but when I look at the pic's of your PC's and I look at mine, I'm like 'meh'. I would like a 'fancy' PC with nice aesthetics. Here are some pic's of my PC (some quick shot's with my phone, nothing special ) :

The specs are:

i5 4670K

MSI Z87-G45 Motherboard

8GB Kingston HyperX Beast ram @1600Mhz

128 Adata SP900 SSD

1TB Seagate HDD

MSI R9 280

CM Storm Scout II Advanced.

I could also upgrade the GPU to a GTX 970 right away. Exactly 400 euro.

What do you guys think? I really hope you all will take the time and help me here. I just don't know . I even considered a tablet or a PS Vita. That says a lot about how desperate I am at the moment.

Thanks in advance,

Tristan
