None :'(
I went from a 7850 to a 390 thanks to black Friday. Although this didn't fit in my Antec 300 despite the fact there should have been enough space, so I bought a Fractal Design Define R5.
Thought I better get a decent modular PSU while I was at it as my old one probably wouldn't have been enough for the 390 so I picked up a Superflower Leadex 750W.
Don't think black Friday really saved me any money to be honest...
replace My Z97 mobo to Z170 +a new i56600K+DDR4( I hope)
Does it still count as an upgrade if I moved from a crappy laptop and built my very own PC?
From my laptop I went from a intel i5 3230m and Nvidia 620m to AMD athlon X4 860K and AMD R9 380 so you can imagine how happy I am with the performance
Video card went from a HIS AMD 290 to a Gigabyte 980Ti G1. Still have the 290 as it's a great card.
Just grabbed my 1st SSD but still to install as I can't make my mind up over Windows 10.
Only my mouse, I replaced a RAT 9 with a Roccat Tyon. Very nice mouse but the analogue paddle on the side screws with my xbox 360 controller in many games making it unusable.
Did a full upgrade:
Zalman HD503 case - Aerocool Strike x Air
Core i7 4770k - 6700K
Gigabyte Z87 3DH - Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI (planning on changing to Z170X Gaming G1)
Gigabyte GTX780 - Asus GTX980 TI Strix
16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 - 16GB G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 2400Mhz
120GB SSD - Samsung SM951 256GB M.2 PCIe
Samsung 840 Pro 500GB - Samsung 850 Evo 1TB
Alphacool watercooling kit
Very pleased with the performance!
CPU cooler, HDD, SSD
From gtx770 2Gb to gtx980 ti xtreme waterforce, soon I m hoping for a 1440p screen to match.
a 144hz 1080p monitor, nothing else. Was looking to upgrade my PC but I'll now wait until next year before deciding, hopefully with the threat of Zen, Intel will have to up their game. That and hopefully DDR4 prices will come down to slightly more reasonable levels.
from gtx760 to gtx 980
from LG 27" to LG 34" curved
from Logitech 2.1 to Logitech 5.1
from i5 4760k to i7 4790k
+ Kingstone SSD 240GB
+ Keyboard Cyborg v7
+ Mouse Redragon Perdition Black
Ram 8gb to 16gb. Also want to replacing aging 580 gtx and stick decent cooler on 3570k so I can OC it. Should do me for a few years of poor parenthood.
Radeon 7850 -> GTX 960
Q6600, mobo and 4GB RAM -> i5-4460, new mobo, 8GB RAM
boot drive 128GB SSD - > 240GB SSD
Old case, IDE DVDRW -> New case, SATA DVDRW
4.5 Mbps ADSL -> 37 Mbps Fibre
Total spend approx £160 (after selling old gear etc). Been a good year of upgrades after neglecting it for too long. Just got fibre this week and... wow! No more leaving the PC on overnight to download something from Steam!
Next target is replacing the 1TB storage HD with an SSD of at least the same size. No massive rush for that though.
pc died, so all except gfx card it will come next year
