With Christmas upon us, just thought I'd see what type of PC goodies all of you guys and gals ended up with this year. Well, for those of you who made it to the "nice" list this year anyways.

I've been planning to upgrade my rig recently, so most of my gifts this year were all PC related. I ended up with a new case, modular psu cables, a new cpu cooler, new fans, and some LED lighting. Actually, two of those were for my birthday. But as it's fairly close to Christmas, and because they're all for the same build, I decided to wait until tomorrow to open up all of them.

Oh, and I went with a Corsair H110 280mm for the cooler.

Once I get the rig built back up, I'll share the finished photos in the Showcase your rig thread. Oh, and since I was upgrading my rig, wifey let me pick out all the parts which is why I know exactly what I got this year...lol.

I have a great desktop with 2 GTX 970s but my laptop is about 10 years old and was low budget when I got it so I decided to get myself a new laptop as a Christmas gift.

I found one on ebay with an i5 3230m and GTX 650m for 315USD in great condition which is a steal.

I wanted something cheap that wasn't slow (my old laptop couldn't even handle YouTube videos at 720p)

Being able to play some newer games was a nice feature with the 650m.

Same model as the one in the picture but the one I got is black not red.

My GTX 980 was an early Christmas gift for myself, probably won't touch anything in my PC for a long while...

Might get a big hard drive for misc. games and storing music/movies, but that's about it.
