let's see..
quad-core is still enough.
internal GPU is still enough since i don't play games anymore.
i suppose what i need are :
* RAM to be upgraded from 4GB to 2x4GB.
* plus a 250GB SATA SSD of which i'm considering WD Blue or Samsung 750 Evo.
* a 80+ Gold with minimum wattage, like Seasonic G360.
i think that's about all
All of them.
A third SSD because I've run out of storage (a full 500GB is audio libraries for Kontakt and Reaktor that take a painfully long time to load from HDD). Aside from that, I think I'm done with building desktop PCs and I'll just buy laptops from now on.
27"/29" 2k IPS monitor to put in between my existing 23" ones and a "quiet" Geforce 1060
I would say an AMD 4C/8T Ryzen if they get released this year,but it will be dependent on what the exchange rates look like at the time(will go secondhand or refurbished most likely if the pound does not hold).
Nothing this year apart from perhaps adding another (and bigger) SSD!
Hoping to get 2 more years out of this rig at 1080p gaming, not interested in 4k until my current one won't even do 1080p 60fps at high/ultra anymore.
The same components I wanted to buy this year but couldn't, that is a Bristol Ridge APU and B350 motherboard. (I optimistically already bought 16GB of RAM half a year ago to go with that.)
Funds allowing, a big CPU/mobo/RAM/case* upgrade.
Whilst my FX8120 has lasted amazingly well for a ~5year old CPU, it is starting to show it's age here and there.
GPU and storage are good for a good few years more, so i'll only be replacing those if something fails.
*None of the front panel USB/audio ports or the sata-caddy on the top panel are functional anymore, all victims of a dodgy PSU a few years back.
A Fanless power supply for our HTPC.
HDDs,SSDs and GPU.
Nothing...
all of it .. bout time over 5 ish yrs ..
the wifes getting my left overs ..
What does it matter now if men believe or no?

To see the wizard one must look behind the curtain ....
Just ordered a rift so i'll probably need a new GPU later this year to power it properly.
Nothing. Not inside the pc anyway. I wanted a 2560x1440 144hz G-sync screen but the prices are such a joke now I just can't justify it.
Waiting for ryzen and mini-itx motherboards for the platform, apparently the x300 is the enthusiast SFF chipset and I'm guessing mini-itx will only be on the SFF chipsets rather than the standard ones but information is patchy and we still don't see the full limitations of it vs the standard x370.
Will I be able to pop an 8 core (or even a 4 core/8 thread) chip into an AMD mini itx motherboard AND have all the OC features or will I have to stick to intel boards?
That's what I'll be asking in a few months time.
