QOTW: Which PC components did you upgrade in 2014?

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

I got a Xeon E3 1230 V2 to replace my Xeon E3 1220,16GB of DDR3,a new motherboard to replace the old one which died,and another 2TB HDD and some 120MM fans.

Juuuust ordered, the big upgrade is on the way. 5820k, 32GB RAM, GTX980, 128GB Samsung 850 Pro for the OS drive, 500GB 840 Evo for Steam installs. I'm keeping my pile of spinning rust for big slow files, and going to use the smaller current SSDs in the system for the Win 2012 Hyper-V setup - putting the VMs on SSD rather than the rust is going to be nice.

Upgrade is from i7 860, 8GB RAM and a GTX580, so should be a nice boost. Got to be ready for Witcher 3!

Replaced my trusty Chieftec BX case with a silverstone ps07, coupled with new 120mm fans. Lower noise and slightly cooler

Everything, apart from the case.
Still can't play Unity

Got a cheap OCZ 480gb SSD (£100)
Done what I expected

Noctua NH-D14 to Corsair H105
Asus ROG Maximus 3 to Asus Sabertooth 990FX
Intel Core i7 to AMD FX8320 (Overclocked to 4.63Ghz)
AMD 6970 to AMD 295x2
Standard HDD to SSD x 2: Crucial M500 480GB and OCZ Vertex 120GB
4GB Corsair Dominator to 8GB Corsair Dominator
Antec 850 Watt PSU to Corsair RM1000 PSU
Logitech G15 to Corsair K70
Razer Mamba to Corsair M65

I know, there is definitely a Corsair theme going on here. All installed in a Corsair D800....

1.5GB ASUS GTX 580 DirectCU II --> 4GB ASUS GTX 970 STRIX
512GB Samsung 840 Pro (bought last year) --> 840 PRO + 120GB 840 EVO (for future boot drive, got a windows 8.1 install sitting on it un-used until 10 launches) + 480GB Samsung Extreme Pro

Finally convinced of the virtues of SSDs, thanks to the huge improvements we've seen in terms of affordability. Was also starting to have issues with high resolution textures with just 1.5GB of VRAM; 4GB seemed like the sweet spot and the GTX 970 nailed the price:performance ratio I was looking for. Looking forward to a 4K, SLI, GSync setup next year.

Would've preferred to support the Open-Source alternative but AMD still haven't managed to win me over on the fundamentals and NVIDIA's proprietary technologies are taking care of everything I could ask for, so far.
