I'm trying to find a gift for a friend of mine online, he's into gaming, has a "gaming" pc, and is into gaming culture. Hoping to spend 50-ish bucks but no more than 60 shipped. Can be anything (but dildos). Possibly pc upgrades?

An SSD.

i5-4690k@4.5GHz || MSI GTX 970 || MSI z97 Gaming 5 || NZXT Kraken x61 || WD Black 1TB || Crucial MX100 || 8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro || Corsair RM750 || NZXT H440 || Corsair k70 RGB mx browns || Acer H236HL || ViewSonic VX2255wm-4

In the upgrade side, more RAM if possible.

 

Otherwise, maybe a mouse upgrade, or something for the desk like a headphone stand.

   he's good on ram and the pc was a pre-built so adding an ssd means he'd need a new OS key

just clone HDD contents to an SsD

Just use Magic jellybean to get the OS key and install Windows onto the SSD.

(but dildos)

-insert "that" website here- also has keychains.

 

on topic: is there something obvious thats wrong with his setup? (shitty headphones/other peripherals, worn out desk, etc.)

get something that'll be really silly like a mousepad, but will actually improve his experience.

 

the best gifts arent the most useful ones, but the most memorable ones. i got a fancy mug for xmas, and from now on every time i drink tea i think of xmas eve 2015.
