What would you upgrade?

[lordsphinx]

Hey everyone,

I just recently won a $250 Amazon gift card in a raffle at work, and can't decide what (if anything) should be upgraded in my current build. There isn't really anything specific that I'm lacking, and without the "free money" I wouldn't really be upgrading anything. That said, I've been trying to think of some non-computer thing to buy and I just can't think of anything I want.

Here is my current build:

I'm thinking the biggest bang for my buck would be a nice 250gb SSD, or going with a higher end AIO CPU cooler. I would get a third monitor, but my desk isn't big enough to fit it, and I don't want to put three on a mount and have one hanging over the end; it will look ridiculous... What would you upgrade?

I'd so with another SSD or maybe upgrade to 16GB RAM because why not.

It really doesn't need anything, have you considered coke? It's a good way to burn through cash.

either samsung SSD 500GB
or
samsung SSD 250GB + corsair cpu cooler h100i

yeah... so I already have 16Gb 1600mhz RAM, and unless I'm missing something and Amazon sells coke now, I think I'll pass.

Sorry, no idea why I read that as only 8GB, it is getting late. So yeah, SSD would be the way to go, or maybe a fan controller is you like those kinds of things in your pc.

My opinion would be to just save the card, because we all know that was is the best right now wont be the best in 6 months, and I believe that you will get a bigger upgrade if you just hold on to it for a little while. (If it doesn't have an expiration date soon)

Maybe a nice pair of headphones for music when not gaming? That's all I can think of, your setup looks complete to me.

Save the card, if you can, sell those GTX770s and get a GTX880 (performance-permitting).

solid build still that has longevity. maybe upgrade to water cooling, or something simple like the Glacier 240L. Lots of good reviews too, saying its expandable, quieter, and cooler than most pre-filled watercoolers.
