So we're going to have some spare money to use (probably) if our tax refund is the same as last year (it should be)
We'll put a bunch of it into savings of course but also:
Would it be more worth it to
- buy a valve index, or
- upgrade our computer from a 2200G to a 3600, get 16 GB more RAM (for a total of 32 GB), and get a nice ultrawide monitor to replace the cheap 16:9 one we have now?

@Felthry Fair warning on the Valve Index, you can't just... buy one right now. You can order one, and when it's ready to be fulfilled, they contact you to request payment, and... it's got liek a waiting time of around 8 weeks by all accounts (source I just ordered one c_c; )
By all accounts though they really are the best VR system available... and holy hell there's some amazing VR games.

@Nine yeah, I know there's a wait to get a valve index, but it's unlikely there will ever *not* be
re: probably irresponsible purchases, input requested
@Felthry This is also very true. (got the oculus like... second hand ourselves, as a way of getting a good intro to vr, and... welp, Miq's mum likes it enough to shell out the nearly 1K to get an index for the hwole house c_c; )
re: probably irresponsible purchases, input requested
@Nine I'm kinda leaning toward getting the index and also upgrading just the cpu, since that might be feasible, especially if we can sell the old cpu or something
