2015 is just a few weeks away, so now's as good a time as any to ask: Which PC components did you upgrade in 2014?

This has been a year of impressive hardware innovation, with a new Intel platform for enthusiasts, a liquid-cooled dual-GPU Radeon, and the launch of GeForce 900-series cards.

DDR4 memory has also made its debut, while 4K monitors have gained in popularity and SSDs have become increasingly affordable.

The array of new product launches suggest that 2014 was an opportune moment to revamp your rig, so let's hear it: what upgrades have you made in the past 12 months, and now, with hindsight, have the upgrades lived up to your expectations? As always, let us know using the comments facility below.

Swapped out a VooDoo 2 for a Voodoo 3 3500. Does that count? :P
Upgraded with Samsung EVO SSD in laptop! :)
Put in a Crucial 256gb SSD in my desktop, now boot up in under 2 seconds plus games load a lot faster, definitely worth it!
I upgraded my front room PC to a GTX780, makes the experience much better.

Other than that, it's been a slow year for upgrades.
AMD 7870 -> AMD R9 290 Beasty!
Coolermaster V10 -> Corsair H60 same performance but more space.
