What should I upgrade?

[Chandres]

So I have worked and now have 350 dollars so waste. I don't really know what to waste it on. My PC is about as good as it gets for 1080p gaming.

 

GTX 970 Strix

I5 6600K 4.5 GHz

Z17XPSLI

H80IV2 120MM COOLER

750 80+ GOLD PSU

SPEC01 CASE

144hz 1ms BENQ 

32GB DDR4 RAM

256 GB SSD

6TB OF HDD STORAGE

 

I don't know what to upgrade and I don't wanna upgrade my GPU nor my Monitor because I like gaming on 144hz. Please

[ComradeVodka]

Maybe upgrade the case. Spec01 isn't that great of a case. Maybe the FD Define S or Enthoo Pro?

[AndyKala]

Get some custom cables, and lights. Maybe a 240mm AIO cooler. Your build seems fine. Have you thought about saving your money?

Save the money, in case anything breaks.

MAYBE a better CPU cooler if your case can fit one, but the difference between that and a 240 or 360 AIO is going to be only a couple degrees, hardly worth it. Might get you MAYBE 0.1 GHz increase if you're really lucky.

 

If I were you, I would pocket the money. put it away. save for your next system There isn't really any practical you could do to that system for 350 if you're just at 1080p

as other have said, maybe some custom sleeves for your PSU and cable combs to train them to look sexy AF. Also, LED lights add amazing effect. I have 2 60mm Cablemod Widebeam magnetic strips in my case and its amazing looking, even with having a smoked side panel.

Give them to charity?

I donate to charity as much as I can, sometimes I just want to give me self pleasure. I live in a 3rd world country (Colombia) I live next to poor people. If I donated to charity they would not take care/help of the people who I care about

[Wolther]

How about Audio?

Get a nice pair of headphones maybe? 

Mouse?

Keyboad? 

Mic? 

Headset stand

a better table or chair?

Fan controller?

 

A second monitor is always nice also. Not to play on both screens, but to multitask instead of tabbing out all the time

[Clonzoo]

There isn't much to do with your PC unless you wanna start building towards higher res or something. As for 1080p there isn't much you can do.

Good answer! everyone knows aesthetics get you at least an additional 10-15 fps out of your games! All joking aside, I can certainly appreciate your want to make it look better. That certainly comes into consideration when I build too =)

 

if you want aesthetic improvements to your build... get an NZXT hue+ LED lighting setup. those are pretty sweet. get a set of custom cables or cable extensions to help color co-ordinate your build. and maybe a different case if you're not in love with that one. That should bring you to the neighbourhood of 300-350 USD if you spend wisely. These are of course just suggestions, feel free to adhere to them or not.

 

350USD is ALSO a starting area to get a low end custom water loop for your CPU (you would need a bit more money if you wanted to go GPU loop instead). I don't know if you're into that kind of thing, but smart spending could get it done. Aesthetics and performance all in one neat little bundle
