What Should I Buy as a Treat?

I'm currently mid-exams, my final set of exams before university in fact. I'll be working a lot during the summer, and already have a good amount saved up for university, but also for leisure. I plan on buying something for my PC, or just some neat accessory, after the exams are finished! What do you guys think I should get? Any suggestions?

 

Currently:

i7-4790K

EVGA GTX 1070 FTW

16GB DDR3 RAM

1TB HDD

1TB SSD

650W G2 EVGA PSU

FractalDesign Define R5

 

Razer DeathAdder Blue

Sennheiser Headphones

Blue Yeti Microphone

Some £50 Logitech Keyboard

 

1440p ACER IPS Monitor

1080p ACER Monitor

 

 

I'm not for certain going to upgrade, or even replace anything! But if there's something you guys think would be a neat little addition, or possibly a decent upgrade! Let me know!

I'd say a new keyboard would be nice, I've been using a CM Storm Quickfire TK Red for a while now and I'm pretty happy with it

I was considering a new keyboard! However, I know cherry switches are all the rage, and clicky buttons, whilst they're satisfying to some, aggravate me! This keyboard has low-profile, fairly quiet keys! If you could find something high quality that has similar keys, I'd definitely have a look! :)

I hate clicky. I like my K55 better than a noisy mechanical jumbo.

I'll look into it! Would you recommend the K55? Or are there much better options that cost a bit more?

Don they make silent switches that are mechanical? I'm pretty sure they do.

I don't drink. Got myself a partner, so porn is more of an inconvenience at this point lol.

 

However, RGB is always the biggest turn on. I get my partner to dress up as a Christmas tree sometimes. /s

If you really plan on setting up some RGB lighting in your case but you don't really know how yet, then check out my Fan & RGB control tutorial in the link below my comment!

Good luck!
