    Optional upgrades include:

    1) CPU and motherboard - Add in an i5-4670k and a Z87 chipset motherboard (+$120);
    2) an SSD - 120GB should be fine, but 250 is more likely to be what you want (+$70-$150);
    3) a GPU upgrade - to the GTX760 or an R9-270X, dependent on your future gaming habits (+~$100);
    4) better mouse/keyboard configuration (+~$75).
