My cable management. I use a BitFenix Prodigy M, which has no options for cable management whatsoever, so I ended up just bundling them up on top of the power supply.

 

That's pretty much my only regret too, mine's the original prodigy though I have the BitFenix Recon fan controller too, only downside I've found is that it's impossible to cable manage it nicely.

I'm on a horse...

That it's not magically water cooling itself, nor is it sleeving its own cables.  Like, man, I BUILT you, go get a job so you can pay for your own upgrades.

My Cooler Master Elite 110 front audio connectors don't work.

 

Also, I have some motherboard feedback in my rear audio, so if there is no sound being outputted I hear squeaking.

I have a Bitfenix Prodigy case and the "handles" have been broken since day one.

The fact that I have a stock Intel CPU cooler and I am always afraid it might come off because the attachment system is such shit.

How loud it is compared to our lasses system, hers is whisper quiet whereas mine has a constant hum that grows to a very loud whooshing noise when I play a game, whereas our lasses computer stays just as quiet as when it's idle.

The K70 I have is wonderful to type on, but the LED's are dying, and I've lost about half of the LED's on it.

I need a better CPU cooler, it's been great, but it's holding back my CPU from reaching the heights it can get to (I've had it running at 5GHz using 1.425V on a different board, but it was way too hot for the cooler so it stays at 4.5GHz until I can replace the cooler)

And the Motherboard has some weird issues and sometimes changes how much voltage it gives the CPU, so sometimes it'll give the CPU over 1.5V, when it only needs 1.285V for 4.5GHz, but for some reason I can't get the motherboard to set it at that using fixed voltage because it simply won't boot, and offset voltage causes the above issue with changing voltages and I can't get it to use less than 1.35V without it failing to boot.

Apart from that it's great, and it plays everything I throw at it with aplomb despite the aging GPU.

That my 770 is made by PALIT, which wouldn't be so bad if the 2GB and 4GB cards didn't have a completely different PCB vs one another, so I could replace the cooler with a custom water block.

My PC occasionally makes the "you plugged a USB thing in" sound. Randomly, for no reason. Its actually really quite annoying!... All peripherals have been replaced and it still does it.

I hate that it is an Alienware.  Also, what comes along with having an Alienware.

No GPU.

No SSD.

Ugly rainbow color cables showing (must sleeve).

Not enough blue.

Doesn't make me breakfast

 

 

The absence of my Logitech keyboard. She left me last night. :(

This motherboard with DDR3 ram. Still doing me well today but I am planning on replacing it with the ASRock X470 and the old haswell I7 I still use, with the Ryzen 5 2nd gen. 

 

So then what’s the worst part of your system? It could be the monitor, the keyboard, the chair (if you consider it a part of your computer) Anything!

In my old/standby rig, it would have to be the CPU, an FX 4100.  Even with it at 5ghz, going back a generation of CPU's to a Phenom II x4 at ~3.8ghz would be an upgrade.

Probably the fans. I think other people would consider my CPU and GPU to be outdated, but they work fine for me. The fans, though, I'd like to replace with some nice be quiet! fans.

the motherboard, because there isnt enough 4pin fan headers so some of the fans have to run full speed whenever the system is turned on.
