Spending 1850 dollars

[Tjomme]

I (Almost) sold my laptop! I'm typing on it now, but it has been bought, this is what I'm doing with it;

 

Toshiba Chromebook 2 (FHD), 300 dollars

UHD Monitor, 400 dollars

PC, 1100 dollars

Bench, 50 dollars

 

By selling my laptop, I'll have a PC to play games on in 4k on my 4k monitor (CS:GO, ARK Survival) and FHD: Grid 2 and Bioshock Infinite and with the toshiba chromebook 2 (Which is easily the best around) I can watch content on the go an I'll have something to browse the web easily on another place and with the bench I can make a little lounge for me and my friends (I have a 40inch fullHD Tv and a PS4), so I can play games with my friends!

 

BYE BYE CRAPBOOK!

There's a difference between euros and dollars..

Well, is final price is in €uro, so go figure... He also said he got a bargain on some of the stuff.

 

What would be your recommendations for improvements?

 

What is it with everyone and those AIO's..? I love the view of a big air cooler in my system and there is no pump noise. You could probably turn the fans off at idle with a good air cooler. True silence..   :wub:

Did you already make the purchase? 980Ti would be better for 4K. Actually the 980Ti is better value in general.

Not in the Netherlands, a lot of the times when buying stuff, 1000 dollars = 1000 euro.
