Posted July 16, 2015 Well ok guys i'll have about $400 to spend soon. Was originally planning to get a PS4 earlier. But i dont think i can quite let myself go through that. so this is my setup right now I have essentially a mismatched dual monitor setup with an auxiliary monitor. I was originally gonna ask my parents for another $400 and go for the LG 34um95. But after hearing abt all the backlight bleed issues with the monitor i dont think i can go for such an expensive upgrade right now, also considering i'm moving to another country in about 1 year, so i'd hate to travel with it or part with it so soon. I may end up going for the the Acer xb270hu instead which is $750 right now, that would be a better option for gaming. But i wanted the big screen 21:9 experience which would be great for movies also, but the better 34" monitors out there are too expensive for now. But i wanted to ask u guys for anything else i can get for about $400 that would improve my gaming experience , preferably PC gaming hardware of course. I'd prefer keeping it at about $400 though(monitors being an exception i guess). My specs are mentioned in the description. PS - I'm not a triple monitor guy, so i wouldnt go a 3rd 1080p monitor CPU: i7 3820 4.0GHz CPU Cooler: Corsair H80 RAM: 16GB 1600MHz MotherBoard: ASUS Sabertooth x79 GPU: EVGA 780 ti PSU: Cougar GX1050 80plus gold CASE: Antec 1100 Channel : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeH6RheyXBWjRGRcF0ZTilA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 16, 2015 I would sell all those monitors and get a single good monitor, I don't know if your card is enough, but something like a single 27' 1440p monitor. Doesn't matter if its a cheap one like mine, Qnix qx2710 II. Overclockable korean panel.

Posted July 16, 2015 A nice New Desk and Chair so all your stuff can fit on one desk instead of the 2 fairly ugly one and the nasty one they are on. other then that get another LG monitor to match the others.

Posted July 16, 2015 This might be a novel concept, but what about saving the money? Seems like your current setup is decent enough. You could put the money into a high interest savings account, or purchase an investment bond/GIC, or even buy some stocks of your favourite companies!
