so, my price range is like the $1000 mark, i do not want to stay with apple, and optical drives are not wanted. then, chromebooks are good and all but not powerful enough, and i still need to be able to do other odd things with a laptop, when i travel im not taking my desktop so i need something that i can watch movies on or play light games on like portal or MC.

so, i'm a high school student, specifically 11th grade. my macbook pro is really dying on me, its over 4 years old and it can no longer function in class and its just not enjoyable for recreational stuff. i need a new laptop that: a. has a decent battery: like 3 hrs of life at least, it has to last most of the school day b. is light: it has to go into a backpack c. is nice for typing: i have to type on it, like a lot of typing (i have large hands btw) d. can't be ridiculously expensive: its going to be obsolete in like 2 years once i hit college e. consuming media: this is a must, my laptop is what i use when i want to watch stuff in bed so more ram and a better screen is preferred if you are capable of helping, thanks. if you are not capable of helping, then thanks still?

well excon, spen was right for me. I have a Windforce 770 and i love it. i play everything on ultra and i can stream stuff to twitch well. I use that card to power 2 monitors and it powers them well. i just LOVE my GC, i have heard bad things about radeon but I have never used one so i can't make definitive judgement. I have no idea about the rendering performance but I assure you that the 770 kicks ass.

So, i want to water cool my whole system. The only problem is that i want to liquid cool my Gigabyte 770 OC, in a black and blue system. I don't know where to get a good GC water block. beyond that if there are any water cooling items i should use, like certain type of radiator or pump, i think that there will be enough space for most things in my nzxt 530. Thanks for any and all help.
