Now mine:

My 2013 rig/upgrade was:

My HTPC got an upgrade (yea, not a gaming PC booo, but ROG board still).
  • Underclocked 2500K/Maximus VI Gene (retired system)
  • One 4GB DIMM (less power)
  • Two new 3TB WD Red HDD
  • One new 256GB Samsung SSD
  • New ASUS RT -n spec router
Not exciting, but 24/7 reliable at ~25W. My old AMD Athlon one was ~60W :eek:

My 2014 upgrade is going to be:

1) My 24" 1080p monitor is long in the tooth and having experienced both 4K and G-Sync I want both. Together. 2014 should have more WQHD/4K options in the market, but I'm not sure what G-Sync will go into yet.
2) Likely a graphics card upgrade with enough VRAM to support said monitor :rolleyes: To see what TSMC 20nm brings!

I had a great last few months building my new Gaming Rig.

My 2013 rig/upgrade was:
-Rampage Extreme IV Black Edition
-i7 4930k
-Corsair Dominator Platinum 32GB 2400 Mhz
-Asus ROG RAIDR 240GB SSD
-Creative Soundblaster ZxR

My 2014 upgrade is going to be:
1) My gtx 690 will get replaced hopefully by 2X Asus GTX 780Ti
2)I have a DELL 30" monitor that i would like upgraded to something similar to Marshall's with 4K & G-Sync

I'm always on the look out for new tech so anything cutting edge interests me 🙂
