probably irresponsible purchases, input requested 

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 The only think I can think to say is to try the Steam VR performance test software and see how good it says your PC is. The Index would be a bummer to get if it ended up being bottlenecked by your other hardware, and that's a good way to check, I think...

@connie we've done it before back when we were thinking of getting a vive and iwrc our computer was fine but not outstanding? but that was before the index existed
