Hey i will be getting some cash soon around £700 - £800

and want to upgrade i need to get a new keyboard best one for gaming was looking at the razer chroma keyboard but ?

also wouldnt mind getting a nice headset with microphone for gaming :D

also need a new case thats at least 230 cm wide a new hdd one im using now is only 500 gb wd blue guess could get a ssd also?

also not sure what parts i should upgrade my specs are fx 8350 R9 290 8 gigs ddr3

is it worth upgrading the r9 290 to fury x?


thanks GothicCorpse

If you've an R9 290 and aren't upgrading your monitor then don't bother to upgrade that.

Your primary upgrades should be a SSD and a second monitor (for general use, not gaming). Next on the list should be your gaming accessories. I do suggest a wireless headset. OCUK have a good range of headsets.
 
ok cool thanks the hdd im using now is kinda old do you think i should buy a say 1tb wd hd and a nice size ssd and then get new case since my case now is nasty and keyboard and headset why wireless? iv always been told go wired for everything :D
 
cool thanks so i get one of them you think its ok if i just keep using my old hdd the wd blue one with that ssd so then i have 1tb

should i go corsair k95 or razer blackwidow chroma?:D

Yes, but you're not getting as second GPU right now. The cable that goes to your HDD surely has more than one SATA connector on it.
