    I have $260.00... what should I buy

    So its my birthday, and so far I have about 260.00. By the end of the week I should have around 300.00. Heres what I have so far:

    Classic Valve with LVL10
    AM rail with logic milling
    standard bottomline with macroline
    Benchmark 2x trigger
    Powerfeed Stock Body
    Armson Stealth Barrel

    So I was wondering, what do you guys think I should get?

    Trade in my current valve and get a X-valve with ULT?
    green ULE body and Kaner barrel kit?
    Y-grip, check it drop w/ on/off, cp foregrip and other goodies?

    I have no idea what route to go, the ULE would make my gun look better and I'd have a better barrel, but the X-valve will make my gun perform very nicely. But for some reason I hate putting down so much money on one thing. Heres my dream setup:

    Kaner Barrel Kit
    X-valve
    ULT
    Green ULE body
    Y-Grip (or possibly logic electro gri)
    Check it drop/onoff
    CP drop
    15 degree ASA

      If you already own a HPA system, i'd go with the X-valve, but istead of getting the ULT, get all the other goodies (forgrip, drop, etc...)

      If you dont have nitro, go for the ULE+Kaner

        Gideon's route sounded pretty good... I'd go ULE before I went x-valve... chances are you won't encounter too much shootdown unless you pick up a ULT kit. But hey, that way you'd still have more to aspire to. If you like your benchy frame alot, as I did mine, then buy the barrel kit instead of a y-grip. But if you want a shorter and more snappy trigger, get the y-grip or intelliframe and a decent barrel keep in mind you can sell your current barrel and old body to help contribute to the upgrades, it could get you an extra 50-100 dollars or more depending on what you have. Anyways, it's all up to you... have fun with it!

          I'm saving the barrel/body for a back-up gun (AKA the gun my girlfriend uses). I think I might do this:

          Y-Grip
          ULE frame
          Drop or Grip

          Then buy a barrel with the next 150.00 I get.

            Or sell your current gun for like 200-250, and buy a nice ule rt customf or 530. It would have all the upgrades you need for much cheaper.

              That is an idea worth considering, but if you're saving parts for a different gun, well... yeah. Anyways, for a temporary fix I'm sure you can get ahold of a very cheap non gas-thru foregrip for the time being and buy a barrel or drop instead. I had the crappiest foregrip on my mag for as long as I owned it, but I grew to like it... did it's job and cost me nothing. I'll try and look up some deals for you.

                The first thing I would do is get a replacement for the benchy - be it an intelliframe, y, or logic frame. This will give you the most immediate performance improvement. I have a benchy and hate it. Pull is just way too long.

                  look around. you can get a retro valve for 150'ish. you already have the level 10, spend the rest on a ule body. i'm not a fan of the ult as i get my rof from the reactivity and much of that is lost with a ult.

                  retro and ule body will increase your rof. retro valve makes for a nice trigger pull with a benchy frame.

                    how about you buy my tall ss centerfeed body with a green boomie and green stock barrel. they are all in great condition by my standards. Here is a picture of it on my gun.
