You just won £10,000 to improve your setup. What do you buy?

• 2 more U2515H's - replace P2414's
• Replacement rig
  • ITX, small case, 16GB RAM, on motherboard only storage (m.2/msata), 980Ti. Would debate E5 1600 series Xeon in mATX with Supermicro board (IPMI. server NIC's)

• Asus VivoPC - to be used as a download box/connect to the TV. Work alongside QNAP
• 2 UAP-AC-Pro's to replace existing Meraki AP's.
• A better chair

My current rig is excellent and I'm happy with my monitors, desk, and chair, so....

 

I buy a mutual fund or GIC or some short term investment and let the $15,000 grow ever so slightly.

 

In late 2017/2018 I would use the sum to build a new monster desktop with dual 4K monitors, and possibly a VR headset depending on how that industry is doing. Depending on the longevity of my Pro 4, I might migrate to the latest model or switch brands and get a different mobile solution.

 

Then I would re-invest the remainder, which is probably still like $8000+.

 

Rinse repeat every ~4 years, and trickle-down the still really good PCs to my family/friends.

I would get:

 

- 2x GTX980Ti because why not

 

- A PS4 so I have every current gen console 

 

- One of these super fancy huge 4k curved tv with like oled displays and stuff

 

That would be like £3000 in total.

 

I don't have any other ideas lol

A bigger phase cooler

I'd be modest. Get a decent 1k$ PC, a nice ultrawide monitor... nothing extreme. Save the rest

[ResonantPixel]

I would get 3 r9 nano's in a x99 matx for sheer shits and giggles! (or 980ti classified (the one that's single slot))

[Overkilled]

Very interesting responses. With a really surround sound setup nice speakers a dx racer a really nice desk and the most balls to the wall insane computer you can build you still wouldn't hit 10k

Be creative guys

I would buy a whole new setup for that, and I would save a bit for college and Uni...

[Sir Asvald]

Well. I would give at least £7500 to my parents. And then rest will be spent on some upgrades to my PC and some for bills and other important things that I can't thing of...

If I could only use it on my setup: One of those desk that LMG employees use, a new chair, and new GPU.

If I could use it on anything I want: save up to go back to school and spend nothing on my setup.
