    Better keyboard, mouse or headset? (No idea what you use currently) Improved cooler? (could even go for a H80?)

    Or booze.

    your hardware is fine. id probably spend it on some sort of peripheral

    a mechanical keyboard is a good buy if you don't have one

    I'm happy with all that though, should have mentioned. But I like the sound of that second idea greatly >.>

    That has to be a joke D;

    I am liking the sound of a H80 or say a Corsair K60 though.

    Get a real mechanical keyboard.

    For £90 grab a used Filco off Deskthority marketplace and be blown away. I believe GeorgeStorm was selling one?

    Or actually a qpad mk-50/mk-80 (not sure if the mk-80 comes within £90) new directly from qpads website, and you get a choice of switch too. Ask around for advice on which mechanical keyboard switch is best for you.

    Other than that get an audiophile headset?

    I wouldnt recommend a Corsair K60 - not all the keys are mechanical

    Go for a Qpad MK-50/80 from their website. You can choose exactly which switch you want at the moment. MK-50 costs £80 delivered atm.

    Alternative is a used Filco or something from here/Deskthority/Geekhack or some other forum

    I have no idea in regards different keys/red/black/brown. I am going to invest in a Mech keyboard in the future. But broke right now.

    Buy some booze and go out.

    Buying anything new for a system like that would be just as wasteful IMO. That SSD is tiny, but £90 isn't going to buy a larger one.
