You don't actually need to upgrade anything in my opinion. Nice rig

Or in other words, go out on the lash!

Hi guys,

Just got a cheeky tax rebate that I wasn't expecting of £298.

What would you add to my sig?

I don't really want another 6970 to go xfire.

More monitors? Nicer monitor? Larger SSD perhaps?

I'm just a bit stumped and would rather spend it on something substantial than put it in the bank and fritter away on nothing.

Thanks,

GZA

savings account?

3 monitors.

I'd be very tempted to Eyefinity if I had that sort of money to splash out.

Treat your missus/girlfriend to a wonderful night out?

*get's laughed out*

Erm, I'd go for a monitor or SSD.

p.s. I had a £630 rebate last year. Spent most of it on my cousins stag night. :mad:

waste.

Yes! Upgrade Upgrade Upgrade!!!

OK so the majority seem to go for more monitors and eyefinity.

What I might do is buy 2x of the Samsung's I linked to previously test it out eyefinity-wise and if the heights are different and it bugs the hell outta me, sell my P2250 and get another sammy.

@hybrid572 - I don't see how a 6970 is going to waste in my system? Two I agree with but one isn't. Bare in mind I paid £256 for it at christmas

Will let you all know how I got one and if it is monitors then I'll post pics for all to see.

Thanks again.

[WU-TANG]GZA · 31 Jan 2011 at 19:23

Definitely not. Plus Iwouldn't keep it I'd just spend it on bugger all - food, drunks etc. In London would go on one big (ish) night out

I'd go for quality headphones and soundcard. DO IT !

Looks at GZAs sig.

Sees a Xonar D1. Sees he's spent a lot of money on parts, imagines he has quality speakers and headphones - otherwise no point to the soundcard.

Wonders why Gelly didn't do the same.... :rolleyes:

ouch!! lol

[WU-TANG]GZA · 31 Jan 2011 at 21:25

Yeah I've got ns1000s like Gelly54 does actually

The monitor option is still winning.

Are BenQ good? Read reviews etc but they're normally either very good or very bad which never really helps.

The reason I linked the sammys is I've got a 22" sammy monitor now, a 32" for bedroom and a 40" for lounge and all have impressed me and not failed me so I tend to follow the saying: "I know what I like and I like what I know"

Until something is available that makes it too obvious to switch.

EDIT: oooh - just thought of a cheeky something. My 6970 is HOT and LOUD - any coolers available yet that don't require drilling? lol. Saying that, voids the warranty....
