What to upgrade?

InsertName

My immediate reaction is to say upgrade your CPU cooler if you really want to upgrade something.

 

I also recommend just saving that money and waiting till you have enough to make a very large improvement like upgrade the CPU.

 

Alternatively, you could also get a UPS for your system to ensure that it will never be affected by power surges, brown outs, black outs, etc.

I would save up for a bit longer and then buy a Intel Kaby Lake i7 when they come out.

Agree with most of this except the Kaby Lake part. Wait until we see the performance before making that assumption. Haha. But whatever you want to upgrade to just save longer. $100 is not enough to warrant any upgrade in your PC

I'd just save your money like others have said. I don't think there's really anything worth upgrading in that, you have a pretty good system. How are your peripherals? Maybe they could use some upgrading?

 

Have the "new toy" itch? I know I do. I'll probably end up buying a new phone.

Damn you, Black Friday!

Maybe look into a better mouse or headset. I wouldn't bother upgrading the keyboard, I find the difference between keyboards isn't as noticeable as a quality mouse.

Ehhh depends. I have one and I love it for browsing, Excel, stuff like that. But I absolutely hate it for gaming.
