    None so far, will probably be upgrading most of my PC once the new CPU generation is out and then upgrade my R9 390 to Polaris 11.

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

    Bought one external hard drive with another one planned. Since I've been using laptops exclusively for the past few years, I am limited to what I can "upgrade". I am still eyeing on an SSD drive upgrade but given that I am not planning to keep this laptop for much longer, I am not sure if it is worth it especially as I'd need one bigger than 512GB to use as my lone internal drive and I am also hoping that 3D Nand is going to pick up by the time I get my next laptop.

    I added an external USB sound card that can drive 250 Ohm headphones. Yep, I am one of those strange guys out there.

    replacement SSD, motherboard and PSU last December to fix hardware failures, a new GPU early January this year to replace my struggling old 6950.

    An upgrade to a second SSD might happen and i'm interested in what the next gen of AMD CPUs are like, but i do not actually *need* any upgrades at this time. My FX 8120 CPU still handles everything i can throw at it, despite it's sheer age.

    None as of yet, but planning to do a full rig overhaul somewhere this year.

    RAM, bought some Kingston HyperX Savage KX318C9SRK2/8 to replace my Corsair 2x4 GB. Sadly the new RAM won't run at 1866, so I settled up for 1600 with lower timings. Planning on buying some additional fans for the case

    Think 2016 is the year for a full system update to DDR4 and the GTX1080, looking forward to the massive bill
