What Part of a Setup is Most Important to You?

[Steemax]

Function over form... so the core components responsible for overall performance i.e. CPU, GPU and Memory.

So RGB is the only important thing to you??

 

I guess it really depends on what fits YOU, for me though it is portability all the way. I don't want to put all my money into a beast desktop and be stuck with a crappy laptop, that is where Thunderbolt 3 comes in handy!

All of them except portability. I need my PC to handle all modern games at over 80FPS at 1440p, I demand good peripherals for competitive gaming (Good optical mouse, mechanical keyboard and 7.1 headset) 

Why a 7.1 headset?  I found that an open backed stereo set with a software implementation for surround was much more natural sounding.  Most games nowadays have that built in you don't even need 3rd party jiggery

How do those compare to the 5.1 headsets?

A good PSU is very important in my book, you wouldn't wanna risk a fire.

In other words, what part are you willing to pay a premium for.

Examples;

Peripherals

Portability

Audio

Graphics

Etc...

 

Monitor and Audio. 

 

Good mice and keyboards are good, but really expensive ones aren't that much better.

that kinda money is spent fully in DDR4 ECC ram sticks. 

[Bramimond]

I'd like to say CPU, but then looking at actual spending it's probably harddrives. It's not quite Petabyte yet, though. I'd save the Internet if I could. Preferably daily dumps. But I can't have everything I want.

Performance at a reasonable dollar amount

Expandability 

Functionality 

Sound - I like my systems quiet

Storage - I like having a few options

Case - Needs to look good but be functional. The Evolve X recently looks like the perfect case to me. Do wants.
