Not really much of an upgrade, but I did buy a Logitech G9x mouse (crappy mw3 edition) for $44 off newegg. Bought it because of the praise people give it, but I still prefer my Razer Deathadder. It still works alright for my laptop though as I had a cheap razer mouse on there.

Which reminds me one thing I dispise about a lot of GUI based software is they rely WAY too much on the mouse. For everything. Why does one need to click everything damn-it!

So my latest "upgrade" was a gelled pad so my wrist stopped hurting from the beating it was getting from certain stupid windows software. Fortunately I switched from micro soft office (another upgrade) to Libre office and it hurts a LOT less to do simple things (less click more work).

Finally got my i5 3570k with an Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 and a hyper 212 evo heatsink/fan. Also overclocked the cpu to 4.2ghz for right now, might go for 4.5, but not sure yet. I should have my gtx 670 tomorrow then I'll be set.

Installed my 670 but wasn't satisfied as I would only get 45 fps in max payne 3 at 5760x1080 at near max settings. To fix this issue I bought another 670 and installed it. Now I can pretty much play any game at highest settings except for Witcher 2.

Yup only 45, xD. Once I got 60 I found the aiming to be a bit more precise as I'm hitting more headshots.
