I have around 100-120$ (USD) that I don't know what to do with.. I currently have headphones that are falling apart, and only have HDD storage, and I'm running out. (250GB/2.5TB) Some options:

Sennheiser HD 518 (85)

Sennheiser HD 280 Pro (100)

Audio Technica AUD ATH AD 500x (80)

Seagate 3TB Hdd (95)

Intel 256 GB M.2 2280 NVMe 4x SSD W= 540 MBps R= 1570 MBps (110)

Plextor 128GB M.2 2280 NVMe x4 SSD W= 1400 MBps R= 2500 MBps (90)

 

Which should I go for?

I would recommend thinking of what you really are in need of. Are you gonna need more storage in the near future? Or do you need the headphones at this point or can you wait until you get more money and buy them then. Buy what you really need is what I'm gonna tell you to do.

 

If you need both storage and headphones then you have to split up the money you got and think which one you want to spend more money on, 1TB of HDD is about 50-60$ depending on what kind of HDD you buy same with headphones you can get them for about 50-100$. 

If you want a SSD you have to think about what you want to store on it, if you're gonna store your games on it you might need (depending on how many games you got) about 120-250GB which is roughly 40-70$.

 

Kind regards

Save it until you absolutely need to spend it on a part that no longer works or until you know for sure what you want/need.  

 

If you're having a hard time deciding on what to get, it's probably because you don't actually need any of it.

Stop ruining the economy!

But it's a fair point. To be honest, if you already have 2 TB of storage you may ask yourself whether you really need more storage or should just do some spring cleaning on your disk.

I guess you could consider an SSD; adding one of those usually does have a large impact on the computer experience.
