    Most recently 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse Enterprise and CadMouse, Logitech K350 Keyboard.
    Next are a M.2 SSD, few WD Red HDDs on my bucketlist and a Workstation VGA.

    Upgraded my GPU from an AMD R9 270x to a R9 390x. Very happy with it, I won't pay the Nvidia prices!

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

    A new Iiyama GB2488HSU Red Eagle monitor, a DXRacer Racing chair (if monitors and gaming chairs count, both so worth it), 16GB Team Group Vulcan RED DDR3 2400 C11 memory, just for the sake of it, not that I need it, my i5 3570K's memory controller can't even make more than 2200MHz. Also a new EVGA 650 G2 and a Crucial BX200 240GB for the second PC but sadly spawned from death of a PC Power&Cooling Silencer MKIII 500W and OCZ Solid 3 120GB SSD respectively.

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

    No upgrades so far, though I am in the process of replacing my RAM as one of the sticks is faulty. Beyond that, just hoping for high-capacity SSDs to fall into my price bracket!

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

    Just did a core upgrade, went from 2500K to 6700K, Asus ROG motherboard and some DDR4. Already had a 980Ti and a 2TB SSD. I wasn't sure whether to do this upgrade as everyone says the chip isn't much faster. But I was having weird occasional BSODs on my Sandy Bridge that I was fed up with trying to solve. The result is pretty good. BSODs have all gone. 6700K at its stock 4.2GHz gets a 16% higher 3dmark score than my 2500K which was overclocked to 4.3. It sure runs very smooth in games (I'm only playing at 1920x1080 too). Also, this ROG motherboard is probably the best board I've ever had. It has a pretty good fan controller that lets you manually set fan speed curves, and endless overclocking features.

    I switched from an old Microsoft keyboard to a newer Dell one.

    I might get a second R9 390(X) for CF after Polaris release, if I find one for a good price, but we'll see.
