What's on your hardware wish list ?

Motherboard/CPU/RAM upgrade.
+ a new case (later on probably).
 
Just got a 512GB adata xpg m.2 ssd drive last Aug for my bday.

Need a high capacity 2.5" SATA SSD to fill my ssd mount that I bought recently.
Also a new pair of joy cons for the Nintendo Switch (for guests and local mp fun with family).

Thinking of also getting a better gpu to upgrade to from my 1080.
Also some new ram and ryzen 3700/x and a mobo to pair it up with.
 
I have 4TB 2016 model (M005 rather than M004) it is 3x1.33 TB platter but still whisper quiet even under heavy load. Can't imagine about 2 platter.
seagate gets bad rep while I've had only stellar experience with their drives.
on the other hand people recommend p300 while this drive really has lots of issues (noise,heat,spin up time).

i have wishlist for secondary pc, powered by athlon sempron & gtx 260, plan to use as office pc, anyway it is alr in shiping, i picking very cheapest part ever, total cost less than $30 including pc case/7.2k rpm hdd/cdrw/ddr2 ram/and standard atx psu:)
 
There's a few more things on my list of things to get, but it's mostly for my collection rather than a really really need it... I've definitely too much already, but I have issues when it comes to hardware... lol Hopefully a few pictures to come soon of some bits and pieces :)
 
I think the only thing I have left on my HW wish list is 3590X and a big-ass 4K HDR TV.
Already upgraded pretty much everything I need, and still can't get rid of everything I don't need )))
What's sad is that my last upgrade simply started with a dead PSU... :D
 
My wish is for a case to replace the Core X9 from Thermaltake, unfortunately there are no cases on the market other than the Level 20XT that can support more than 1 420MM radiator. That case has too much glass for me.

Why not a monitor instead of a TV

 
Well now all I need is a cooling upgrade and better RAM pretty much, oh and a storage upgrade overall.
 
A storage upgrade would be nice. I'd want three 1TB SATA SSDs in RAID 5 to replace my 2TB data drive.

I'd love to get a 3900X, but low availability means that won't happen.

I'd also like a GPU upgrade, but everything better than my 1070 is unreasonably priced now.

The most realistic upgrade would be more memory.
 
A completely new build. My i5-3570k is really starting to show it's age in modern titles. It was a sad day when it started showing up as the minimum spec for games
 
Quick follow up on the g903 and powerplay I got recently.
They're fantastic.The clicks on the g903 are perfect,out of all mice I've ever had they're the best by far,clicky and responsive,not spongy but not too hard either.the shape feels good too,after using g403 for a year playing doom on g903 feels very good.the two function scroll wheel is great for any use,precise steps or limitless roll with an easy switch button.
Plus the control surface on powerplay is best I've ever used.smooth and fast.I actually prefer it to my steelseies dex.

contemplating buying a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd gen for my new PC. I've a Q2U Mic and DT770pro
Also monitor - between LG 27GL850 and ViewSonic Elite XG270QG (once its out, same LG panel but kinda hoping somehow they get contrast better with their implementation closer to ~1000:1)
 
+1.

I think I've upgraded pretty much everything I need, except for CPU. Got R5 1600X for cheap, as an overpriced "placeholder", but I don't think I'll be able to get one 'till next summer... minimum...
...along with additional 16GB DDR4... :fear:
 
134435

new video card for next year... and nothing to catch fire this year.... _-_
 
Tempted to build a SFF build so it won't eat too much space and easy for transport. Thing is I don't know whether to go ITX or buy secondary Deskmini A300.
For ITX build I think I want to do a hackjob putting small mATX board like AsRock A320M-HDV which is 230mm x 201mm and put it inside CM Elite 110. There are people who did fit small mATX on this case. Wanted to fit my main rig Ryzen 1600 and GTX 1070 Katana inside it. I can ask my sheet metal friend to cut the case if it won't fit. The single slot PCIe Katana and the PCIe x1 slot above the PICe x16 will allow me to use both my GPU and soundcard into the ITX case, thats the reason why I wanted to put mATX instead of ITX.


For Asrock Deskmini A300 its simple, I just need to buy A300 plus APU. I already have 8GB DDR4 SODIMM and extra 2.5 inch HDD and SSD.
 
I want a new GPU and Monitor!
but that will be a year 2020 purchase :D
 
An AM4 mounting bracket for my Heatkiller block....
 
new gpu, just holding out as long as i can.
Likewise, I've recently built a nicely spec'ed Ryzen rig (IMO anyway), just waiting for AMD's big NAVI. Meanwhile, my PowerColor VEGA64 Red Devil is chugging along nicely enough.....
 
Fastest 64 core 128 thread Unlocked EPYC, 8 channel ram, RX 5900XT. PCIE SSD in RAID
 
Right now, just a 90001 PS2...
 
Definitively... 3900x... one more week! Should be interesting... I'm going to try it in my X370 before I go springing for a new mobo. I was gonna go for a 3700x but it looks like things are back to normal with 3900x's price availability. Just in time for me to buy, too. Gotta side with that. Universe said so.

Tentatively... full custom loop. It'll be my first ever. And I'm going with glass. I figure it's all unnessesary so if I'm gonna do it I have to do it up.

So basically my wishlist reads as:
-tedium
-headache
-insanity
 
Anything which would stop ghosting at night in FOVR, I don't get a lot but it buggs me just the same. darn bright lights eh :) .
