What could be the best addition to my set-up?

So I have about 220 euros to spend on my set-up and I was wondering what to improve it with, so I came to ask you guys' help!

 

What is the best addition to YOUR set-up, or what would it be?

I would love to see some suggestions, assume I only have a PC built and need everything.

 

 

NOTE:(220 Euros in tech stuff converts to about 200 USD)

 

Quick Specs: i7 4771, GTX 780, 128GB SSD, 2TB HDD, MOBO?

 

Current Peripherals: Samsung 24" 5ms LS24D390HL, Corsair M45, Steelseries QcK+, CMStorm Devastator Keyboard,

 

PS: I use my PC for basically gaming only, but I will be going to Uni next year. (And I play all types of games, MOBA, MMO, FPS, SMASHBROS YEAH!, etc)

Current specs would be nice to know. Otherwise, you're good for a couple hundred turnips

You're asking us to give you improvements to your setup without telling us anything about it. What does it entail?

 

For my setup, I need to get a better graphics card - I think an R9 390 would be good.

a good addition to my setup would be a new damn computer.

I added a quick spec list, but it is also about recommending the best additions to your set-up.

1. I'm asking what was a great addition to your set up, then I can see if it would be anything for me.

$200 can buy me a Mini fridge and a case of beer.  Now that would be a great addition to my setup.

Well, I said assume I only have my PC built and start from scratch, what would be worth spending 200 USD on, or what would be a must have

Maybe get nice headphones and save some money for later. Depends on what you have now.

For a serious answer, It's well worth it to get a better monitor and I'd recommend a 2K 27" one if you can afford it.  Other than that, maybe get a Xbone controller for some of the more casual, relaxing games if that's your thing.

Actually don't have any headphones right now. I had bought a logitech G440 or something (the 50$ blue headset) but turns out I'm allergic to the headband and I hurts like hell and makes my hair fall out

I got Audio Technica ATH-M50Xs and yeah, I can never go back to cheap headsets.

 

There's a lot of good options though at any price point. I've heard good things about the Sony MDR-V6. They don't look pretty or seem to have great build quality, but I hear they sound great.

Yeah right now I'm using horrible earbuds I got with my phone, but I need a headset with a mic though :/

You'd be better off sticking an AntLion ModMic to the MDR-V6.

Get yourself a good set of headphones, that has a huge impact on your gaming.

Don't get a cheap set, get a mod mic and some damn good headphones.

I'd have to say some good 5.1 speakers.
