  1. First build is better performance wise in almost everyway for most applications. The second build has a lot of extras fancy things that are not necessary like that cpu cooler and more expensive power supply.
  2. At this point I would just buy a second cheap used pc and control/use it via remote access.
  3. As for right now this prebuilt trumps those offering by a lot. This prebuilt is 100$ cheaper and have a GTX 1070 and a 240 ssd. https://www.amazon.com/iBUYPOWER-Desktop-9200-i7-8700K-Graphics/dp/B078H7WQ8B/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1521292318&sr=8-3&keywords=prebuilt%2Bpc&dpID=51x%2Bov9d56L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch&th=1
  4. What build can you considering with ironside (parts and price) so I can compare. Also what games in particular do you want to play at what resolution and frames?
  5. What monitor do you currently have? I would honestly upgrade than CPU first rather than your GPU and would recommend that you always avoid crossfire or sli for gaming in general. A single card options is usually the better choice.
  6. You might need to consider a external sound card if the motherboard has too much electrical noise(causes buzzing). You should judge for yourself and test if you notice anything first before committing though.
  7. How much watt does your power supply have and also how much ram do you currently have?
  8. Maybe a microphone stand since your workspace is kinda cluttered. Cheap: https://www.amazon.com/Etubby-Microphone-Suspension-Adjustable-Microphones/dp/B06XKTM5W6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1521057544&sr=8-4&keywords=blue+yeti+mic+stand#customerReviews Not Cheap(I own this one): https://www.amazon.com/RODE-Swivel-Mount-Studio-Microphone/dp/B001D7UYBO/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1521057544&sr=8-13&keywords=blue+yeti+mic+stand
  9. Can you tell me the laptop name.
  10. The main advantage of the 1050TI compared to the 1050 is the 4gb vram as opposed to just having 2gb on the 1050. When you run out of it, everything goes to shit. The 1050 ti is more or less 10-15% stronger than the 1050. I would really recommend that you save for the 1050ti but a 1050 is better than nothing. http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1050-Ti-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1050/3649vs3650
  11. Maybe consider getting 8gb of ram instead 16gb and use that money to get a 144hz TN monitor or a larger 27" IPS monitor instead.
  12. First thing I would do is to try to boot without the graphic card. Use the video out from your motherboard.
  13. Depends on what you are going for. The CPU is going to hold you back on getting a more consistent 144 fps on battlefield 4. If you are going for that then the 1080 is not overkill, no need to regret your purchase based on that(it being defective though is).
  14. You should probably uninstall your GPU drivers then reinstall them. Also get MSI afterburner and adjust the fan settings as necessary.
  15. Never used it. I'm pretty sure the soundblaster app would not work with it since it is only a bluetooth amp(doesn't have a dac). It looks easier to lose but has a clip and a back/forward/pause/play buttons so there is definitely trades off here and there. Note that the volume knob on the e5 isn't really a con since you can remove it fairly easily and could also reinsert it back in (forgot if it was glued in there or not).
