Intellis are nice and X-valves are great one of those two would be my first suggestions.

as long as you have LX buy the intelli, if you dont have LX save for the X valve

im probably gonna go intelliframe first, but i would love to get the x-vale, and no doubt im going to, its just that i spend money when i have some, but who knows what ill do. Its just that i would like the item before i go to the skirmish d-day scenario july 12 but i know i would not have enough for the x valve so it looks like intelliframe.

Try and find a used I-frame here on the forums. You can get it for $90, if you find one. Honestly, that's the first thing to go.
Then, get the level 10 out of the way (you can sell it later when you trade-in for the X, they only want the valve and reg when you send it in...)
These 2 are the most important upgrades, so they should be first. The X-valve should come last, after all the cosmetic upgrades. In the mean time, you'll have time to save money and still have a pimp mag.

*EDIT-Also... This is very important! You need to spend alot of time firing the marker before you go to any event. Especially if you just slapped in a level 10 or I-frame. Trust me, I got my X-valve the day before a Tournie and didn't have time to get used to the differences. It cost our team the 1st place spot.
Just make sure you can shoot the thing consistantly and reliably without short-stroking (especially if you don't have enough time/$ to get the L10)

Whatever you do wait on the X-Valve because the ULE Trigger is due out soon and Tom said the ULE triggers will come standard on them.

Although... I bet it will be awhile since the first batch of ULE's will sorta be a mass beta test before it becomes standard.

Do you have nitro? If not then that should be your first upgrade :) If you allready have it , then I would say Iframe.

I'd say the same thing. Nitrogen should always be the first upgrade, we are all assuming you already have it though.

Compressed air(Nitrogen) before anything, then a lvl 10 if you dont already have one.

Nitrogen, motorized hopper, LX, in that order.

go to paintballgear.com and you can get the intelli for 109 so that would save you money.

get dye stickies, those are cooler than kapp grips.
you can find the for less than the kapp grips too.

I never got why LX is so high on everybody's priorities list... I had my mag for a year before I got LX and never choped a ball. Really the only reason I do have it isbecause it came with the x valve.

I like this list but would change the order a bit.

Motorized Hopper, LX, Nitrogen. IMHO

If you already have any of these then just move on to the next in line.

The reason why the LX is so high on the priorities list is that when you do chop, you might as well be out of the game. Plus, it's a pain in the a** to clean the gun when you chop. Its just a precautionary measure.

couldn't agree more with the poster that said get your bolt or intelli tuned before any event. Probably not so much the intelli but the LX will give you nothing but headaches if you slap it in and try to goto an event.

Run several tanks of air through it and paint so you know it's good to go.
