Decide Whether to Invest in Better Gaming Gear

Gear is easier to upgrade than skill. That is why most gaming upgrade decisions are really a way of feeling like you are improving without doing the thing that would actually improve you. This checks whether your current setup is the constraint or whether the money would be better spent elsewhere.
