troll topic?

why should you want to upgrade, it looks fancy....

maybe more ssd capacity?

IMO the only thing that might be important is a nice display for those 2 ti     >> asus PG279Q ?

Save up unless you need more storage or ram. Pointless wasting money on an already badass machine that will not need upgrading for years

I mean, that's a top of the line computer as it is. Maybe do some visual work such as colored led fans/interior LEDs? Or paint.

Nice sleeved PSU cables?

That's all you need to know. It's a beast.

or donate to charity... at least then your doing some good to the world instead of a pointless upgrade to your already high end computer.

I have custom sleeved cables already as well as Led strips. But i may be buying some ltt fans, they look better than my current ones, and a g-sync monitor, though i'm unsure as to wither there worth it

Hmm. Other than that maybe peripherals, chair, desk? That type of stuff. If you're happy with that, then there's really nothing else to upgrade.

Get a 144hz monitor or a 4k ips.

A water-cooled mid-tier gaming PC.

can you recommend one for less than £500

144hz monitor

  1. 1
  2. 2

4k monitor

  1. 1

IMO the 144hz monitors make more sense but you chose.

How about a CPU cooler, you know, so you have one.

its water cooled, and filling out the bits so i can put my water cooling bits (all ek if you wanted to know) in takes forever
