Hey guys,

Ok so I have a choice to make; at the end of the year, I will have 310€ to buy either a good monitor, that I need, but after rethinking, my 4/3 monitor is already pretty good and works perfectly, but the choice that I have to make is: am I going to spend these 310€ on a good monitor or do I spend them in a new case and PSU since I want to mod my whole system with custom cables, so I need more room behind the case and a fully modular PSU, I also plan on watercooling my system so having a window is a plus.

I already choose the parts that I want if I buy them, but not sure if I should sacrifice the money for the monitor to buy these components...

Please hlep meh decide D:

What's your current setup

Case is a Corsair 500R, planning on getting the Corsair 750D; PSU is Lepa G750 80+ Gold Semi-Modular, planning on getting a CM V850 80+ Gold Fully Modular.

I would upgrade to a new monitor but that's just my opinion.

Yeah but, I kinda really want to start modding my rig, and this case is good, but it just doesn't have enough room on the back to fit every cable. And obviously having a semi-modular PSU is a bit of a problem for me to sleeve the cables.

actually mine looks like a normal 23" 1920 x 1080p screen, the only difference is it has tv functionality and I'm using HDMI instead of DVI which are essentially the same, I play xbox, watch tv and work on my pc off the same monitor which actually suits me just fine.
