Hi guys, don't know if this a right place to ask recommendations for upgrades. Right now I want to upgrade my SSD, monitor and add another hard disk. Current setup:-
H97 board
16gb HyperX ram
i5 proc
Intel 180gb SSD
2tb Western Digital Hard Disk black
650w Cooler Master PSU
Viewsonic 22inch monitor

So far I'm thinking to upgrade to Samsung Evo 850 240gb (replace current SSD). Monitor and hard disk I'm not sure which brand is good. Any suggestion? My budget is around 1.5k, hopefully the cheaper the better (as long best value for money)

What makes you feel like want to do the upgrade? Especially the SSD and HDD, I rarely see people upgrade them unless it is faulty/broken, not enough storage space, or upgrade to a completely different technology (like SATA to PCIe). Your HDD is a 2TB WD Black, that's the top tier consumer grade HDD that you can get it locally already, I don't know why you want to get rid of it  sweat.gif

As for monitor, different people is having different personal preferences, you might want to list out some of your requirements, like screen size, resolution, refresh rate, design etc to scale down the total choices.

Well, that's the thing. Both my SSD and HDD are almost full, both are already on >90% usage hence the reason why I want to upgrade my SSD and buy another HDD tongue.gif I think that 240gb SSD should be a good replacement for my 120gb SSD, as SSD is still expensive.

My main usage for the HDD is watching movies and play games; others not much. Thinking of buying another black WD, but maybe could find other suggestions here.

For monitor, Prefer to have low response rate as I'm playing games. Right now using TN panel, but if can upgrade to IPS with similar response rate would be nice as well. Size is around 22" to 24", more than that I feel like it's a bit too large for my liking (and space as well).
