Keyboard started sticking so invested in a razer mechanical keyboard.

Going to invest in a new AMD R9 480 when they come out late summer/fall. Cheaper card with huge performance increase. Even if it falls short of the 1080, it will be worth it with is low 200s price point.
 
Well...I thought I was upgrading my ram, but this is the route it's taking so far according to the tracker: Indianapolis to Hebron to Melrose Park to....Anchorage? :cursing:

Was the option to outright get a new PC with all the bells and whistles for ?1500.

But then the prospect of getting my first car, as well as career/college shift meant it had to be reinvested- wisely.

Only upgraded the RAM on my PC, from a measly 2GB to 6GB.

Reviews for the 480 came out this morning.
 
I just upgraded my Cpu, Mobo and videocard. Still need to come up with the funds for new ram, a power supply, water cooler, Monitor, Keyboard and mouse. It's a work in progress.
