    None as of yet...I'm looking at maybe a Polaris 10 and Zen later this year! I'm wondering if I will be able to get away with the 6 core Zen and 2 Polaris 10s on a 600watt PSU lol...I'm hoping so because that would be the coolest thing ever!

    No component upgrades this year so far, no plans to do so for the rest of the year either unless I win one.

    Just about to stick a Samsung 950 Pro 512Gb M.2 in my AsRock X99. Replacement for an XP941 256Gb. More for the capacity really. But also because I can.

    Re: QOTW: Which PC components have you upgraded in 2016?

    Just waiting for the Broadwell-e cpu's to release.

    But this year I have upgraded far too many parts within both my wife's and my gaming pc's to list.

    But the main parts are :

    My rig: Full upgrade from Z87 to X99 (just missing cpu at minute), also replaced my Titan Blacks with a Titan X

    Wife's rig: Ram upgrade

    I have also just changed both rigs to 16mm PETG hardline from acrylic

    For my PC nothing. Waiting for the next AMD APUs to be released.
    I did upgrade the wife's laptop with an extra 4GB of RAM and a SSHD though just before her windows 10 upgrade.

    Only my mouse so far, went from a Roccat Tyon to a Steel Series Rival 100. My next upgrade will be a GTX 1080 in a few months (probably MSI Gaming X)

    Well I got my workstation up and running which involved buying a few parts. I completely rebuilt my server as well but I dont think I have really done anything on my gaming PC

    Potentially a GTX 1080 and an extra 8GB RAM at the end of the year, unless they announce the Ti version by then, or possibly a 1090?
