Im hoping to have a good chunk of disposable income on the 6th and like most of us want an upgrade that has been over due for a while.
I have a 3570k at 4.5ghz in a CM storm Stryker cooled by OCUK'S V8 kit
27 inch HD 60hz monitor
and dont lol a 560ti 1gb that has served me well for quite a few years
a 64gb SSD
2tb HDD for storage
My upgrade im thinking of is upgrading my pump, monitor and GFX, so while im doing this i will take the opportunity to change the XSPC tubing that came with the kit that has leaked plasticizer (or what ever it is called ) which changed my UV blue to UV green lol
