So I'm basically going out of ideas for the build future and upgrade path. I'm not looking into major upgrades like platform change (whole CPU+MoBo+RAM combo), and especially GPU with those prices. But I usually enjoy minor upgrades and some functional improvements. I had in mind fan controller and perhaps Blue Yeti. Any simmilar ideas?
 

Here are specifications:

CPU: Intel Core i7 4770k @ 4.6GHz 1.28V - Delidded 

CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 

GPU: iChill X4 Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070  

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H 

RAM: 16GB HyperX Fury 1866MHz 

Case: Fractal Design Define S 

Fans: 6x Fractal Design Dynamic GP-14 

PSU: Corsair RM550x Fully Modular 

SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 

Screens: Dell S2417DG (1440p 165Hz G-SYNC) + LG 22EA63 (1080p 60Hz IPS)

Keyboard: Logitech G810 

Mouse: Logitech G403 

Speakers: Logitech Z333 

Webcam: Logitech C920

Headset: HyperX Cloud II

And here's how it looks:

Maybe drill a hole in your deskt to rout kables :) I'm also a big fan of hubs mounted unter the desk (like usb hubs or usb type x hus with an sd card reader etc if you have an type c port

 

A mic also could be a idea

 

I would add some backlighting to the monitor arms...personally

It's a student dorm so I can't do anything on their inventory. Trust me the room would look much different if I could :D

But excellent ideas!

This is solid side panel case, so internal looks aren't of importance. :D

And I'm mostly function over form so some major looks improvement doesn't make me happier in terms of setup :|
