This monitor, I got it back when it was on sale for like $120 or something, the colors on it are amazing for a TN panel, great viewing angles, only complaints are the plastic for the bezels is glossy and feels really cheap, it's from acer, and it takes like 10 seconds to turn on.

 

I plan on getting a 2nd one some time down the road. (And also a 27" 1440p monitor, then I can have the 1440p monitor in the middle, the two acer G246hl monitors on the sides, and my samsung syncmaster 225bw up above the 1440p monitor )

Use this thing daily. It had a built in 4500mah battery so you can charge your phone off it when playing. Its also splash proof if you close the rubber seal around the ports.

A year old review of mine:

 

The value in this keyboard is quite high. It has loads of features, more than some $100 keyboards, and looks good too. The programmable macros really help when programming / gaming, as you can set those hard to do key combos to a single key. The High frequency mode also made a noticeable difference in gaming ( allows you to hit the keys faster). The keys are mechanical feeling, and are not at all mushy, giving a good tactile response. The only thing I wish was better was the RGB lighting, Some keys are dimmer than others, and the light dimmer affects the colors (yellows turns to red at lower brightness).

Overall Its a great keyboard for the money, offering features that more expensive keyboards don't have. with only one minor drawbac

Titan Z ..

 

JK, my sempron 145 , runs pretty much everything really solid with that single core for daily usage, but stutters heavily on games, for a daily driver it's more than enough

Mini Bluetooth dongle: http://www.amazon.com/Kinivo-BTD-400-Bluetooth-4-0-adapter/dp/B007Q45EF4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1437345088&sr=8-1&keywords=bluetooth+4.0+adapter

 

Its an excellent addition of any pc. I use it to pair my Sony bluetooth headphones (which sound excellent btw) or a PS4 controller for when I want to sit on the bed or kick my feet up on my desk while I game. The range is very good too, except for on the toilet. It seems to not want to work while I'm on the shitter. As soon as I stand back up, it works great.

wireless mouse, isn't great for gaming, but is so god damn handy.

 

Also, any high capacity USB (32GB/64GB)

I guess I have to say my Anker 25W power brick. I guess I need to go to a more recent 40w one with the better charging ICs that would work with stuff like my Note 4 but it's helped a lot with saving sockets and hasn't failed me yet.

Also the wireless mouse I bought for £10 that's still going strong after several million clicks and throwing around almost daily for two years.

IDE/SATA to USB 3.0 adapter...

 

Why run noisy hard drives in you PC?  Just leave them in a drawer.  When you need access to mass storage, hook it up to you PC with one of these adapters.  It comes with connectivity for older IDE drives as well as SATA, and has a power brick to power the drives.
