How to improve my setup or PC !!!!

[KamilKrait15]

Not sure if im allowed to post these but i have 200 pounds left. How would you spend that money to improve the setup, or even the PC. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Can put more pictures up if necessary

Well. Could you post your pc's specs?

 

Also, I feel like speakers would be real nice for you. Although, if your trying to stay quiet then maybe not so much. (idk if you have family around or not) 

A headphone holder.

I would get some framed wall art, Head phone stand maybe a second monitor

Im happy going for a headphone stand and I'm completely open to the idea of getting wall art. I don't know exactly what of wall art to get what size etc...

I wouldn't have guessed that. Me thought it would be some AMD CPU...

I like the clean look, but your desk seems a litte empty to me. So what about a desk lamp, headphone stand and some good looking speakers?

 

Your cable management is mostly perfect. That's why I immediately noticed the cables from your monitor. Would be great, if you could hide them behind the stand too

custom loop should be doable, its quite a nice set up tbh, what monitor is it? 

[stealth80]

also what keyboard/mouse ?

I appreciate your comments on my cable management. I really did try. When it comes to speakers I haven't got a clue what to look for. Any suggestions?

I'm glad you say that. I have alpha cool acrylic tubing, alpha cool eisbaer block, alpha cool fittings, alpha cool rad... I think you see where I'm going with this but I have everything except the gpu block. I COULD start it now but not sure if it's worth doing without a gpu block

I think the bose companion 20 look cool and they sure sound well, but I don't know enough speakers to judge, if they're worth the money

I'm not a big fan of the looks of those speakers. I will definitely consider some speakers though

if you have the radiator space (390X is a hot card) I would definately include the GPU, my GPU temps dropped over 20C on water and it now runs a continuous 2050mhz (1080 GTX) without any overclocking

I'm going to wait until the Vega cards come out before I decide whether I should get one of those with a gpu block or just a gpu block for my 390x

Color is different from your setup so idk?

Personally I'd get a second monitor. Yours is really nice for gaming, but it's much more comfortable to have a second display for general use. Ever alt-tabbed from a game?  Well not needed if you have another monitor, you could just have discord/youtube/a music playlist/twitch/etc on the other monitor while you game.

What monitor would you suggest I use ? The bezel on my xl2411z is quite big so I'm not sure if it would look good

Pretty much any 23-24" IPS 1080p 60hz monitor will do the job, your main one where you game will still be the Benq.

There seems to be more than enough room for it on your desk, it doesn't really have to look good from afar, it has to be comfortable when you are sitting there using it. Just pick a side for it to sit and place it. You don't really need to worry about bezels, it's not a triple monitor gaming setup, just a "support" panel so to speak.
