Get rid of the elbow pads, they are unneeded and will only take away your mobility. I'd recommend a new plate carrier and a SERPA holster.

I would also advise a different vest. That OE tech plate carrier is just so boxy looking.

I agree I got it for free so it is what I am currently using. What is another plate carrier that would be good without breaking the bank?

For the amount of pouches you've got sitting on your plate carrier, you could switch to something a bit smaller and more low-profile. Maybe a Rhodesian-style plate carrier: www.airsoftsmith.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=31_77&products_id=961Also, I've always felt that a replica PACA adds a great touch to any US-styled loadout, but I suppose that's just personal preference.

Is that the LBT that Tex just got? Yeah, but who cares? There are at least a hundred CIRAS and four RAVs in Michigan. Two 6094s, isn't a big deal. They are still pretty uncommon.

I know, I was just wondering if it was the same.

I would also like to note that my Plate carrier is not as "boxy" as the one in the picture. I will have pictures up soon in the Gear section.

If you still have questions about good plate carriers, over this week and weekend I will be writing up an extensive thread about plate carriers, and have a good amount of information on a vast number of types that people prefer, etc.
As for your gear, I would not look for a plate carrier that "wont break the bank". I would save up for one that will be worth it in the long run. Unfortunately for replica gear, a 600D plate carrier will only last so long. After a few years of play, 600D just doesn't stand up to the roughness and abuse that us airsofters put on our gear. I would recommend something from the 1000D line (this will all be in my write up too) if you tend to play more often. It is much more durable. I have had both 600D and 1000D gear; I highly favor 1000D! My 600D FSBE ripped after 1 year of play, while my 1000D CIRAS has been used by more than just me for around 6 or 7 years (estimate), with zero rips at all.
Its something to consider if you want a huge upgrade. Definitely worth it to me. Is it worth it to you? Only you can know for sure.

Also, I don't see how you're going to run that buttpack and hydro carrier. Nix the butt pack, if you need to carry more shit, put a utility or something on the back of the hydro carrier.
I would not get OE Tech boots, get something more reputable. Bates, 5.11, Oakley or whatever. Not some clone airsoft gear maker.
