It's a beautiful summer's day, so pull up a chair, grab a beverage, and let's talk technology. This week, we're asking our readers and forum members a simple-but-significant question: what's the best PC component you ever bought?

And we'll let you decide what best really means. It could be a component that holds nostalgic value, it could be something that delivered a staggering performance boost, or maybe it's something you love because you picked up a bargain?

Have a think, and once you've settled on the single component you loved (or still love) the most, let us know in the comments below. And of course, pictures are welcome!

Well, my i5-2500.
My AMD Phenom ii X6 1090t

was a nice big upgrade especially coming from just a dual core 4800+. lets me multitask like hell. Havn't found anything to throw at it that it can't handle. Also it is fairly good with Folding@Home (when i'm on the universitys power bill of course! :P )
Vesa Local Bus IDE card for my 486-SX33 - my mate had a DX40, but I would have loaded DOOM way before him 8-) VLB Graphics card a close second, followed by my 30gb SSD a few years ago!
OCZ Vertex 2 60Gb SSD - made such an awesome difference overall, more than any other upgrade I'd done before.
8800GTX - off ebay for £80 less than anywhere else. Lasted me years and kept my room lovely and warm during cold winters!
