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?
