any suggestions where the extra $ can go?


ALSO! :
Need a keyboard & mouse (200$ totoal for both), looking at mechanical keyboards, suggestions?

 

[anti-duck]

I either go for a GTX 970 FTW, an SSD, another 8gb of RAM or a better PSU.

EDIT: I absolutely love my CM QuickFire TK mechanical keyboard, never used any others though.

I too am from Canada, I always use NCIX and make them price match. That way you save on shipping and it ships from BC. Price match is as easy as pasting the url in.

No SSD? SSD is one of the biggest quality of life improvements to be made.

 

[morgilroka]

Yeah, i always use NCIX. What's the good SSD's these days? samsung 840 still?

 

[andy_Man]

To be honest, I always go with what is cheapest in the 240GB+ range. Performance wise they are all similar, because they are limited by the Sata bus. I do however, see constant recommendations for Samsung and Intel.

I just bought a an Adata SP900 256Gb for $105 from NCIX ebay page. Pretty good deal considering on Newegg its selling for $159.99. Any how this is what I came up for you.
