The Blade 14 is incredible. My PC is getting very old

So this morning, I spilled this ENTIRE MUG full of hard worked for french press coffee, which I wanted to drink so bad, all over my Black Widow Ultimate (No never got the chroma sadly)  Anyways, the whole cup went into this keyboard.  I quickly unplugged it after spam typing for a second with rage (even tho no characters showed up).  So I cleaned off my desk (which is a playing card table, cause college) and thankfully nothing else got soaked in this delicious coffee.  Anyways It wasn't working, like anyone would do, it took it apart voiding the warranty.  My fingers are still raw from prying up all the keys.  So after i got it stripped to just the green metal and PCB I set it up to a fan to dry, with low expectations.  I had to find a way to kill time and since my keyboard was already apart, I figured I'd clean it, shout out to Slim for that video! (which I had to search for by emailing the alphabet from my phone to myself then copy pasting the letters cause screw on screen keyboard).  So after that I saw the from...Just sitting there....Alone....
So with more time to spare, I walked around the block to the Lowe's right by my house, picked up some spray paint, And went at it.  I like the look, this isn't going on here for your approval just so someone else can do it with a cool idea too.  So reassembled the keyboard after the paint and PCB dried, and somehow it works.  Here you go, the picture of my finished and working "beauty."  
Original / Picture from the internet (didn't take before picture cause I wasn't expecting to spill coffee all over it)
Now (sorry for the LG G3 camera and the mess)
The Perp (yes that is the coffee I was so dearly looking forward to drinking, The picture was taken for snapchat and after it spilled I saved it from my story.)
P.S. I am colorblind, I chose blue cause my H440 is blue (I think) I would LOVE to see other people do fun stuff like this.  I will try to respond ASAP if anyone has any questions, thanks!

The only experience I have had with AMD laptops is when someone didn't take care of their laptop. They should be just fine for most things though. Thermals also should be ok.

Thanks a lot! Still not sure if i will get AMD or not but it is good to know it is a legitimate option!

AMD is probably not a good choice in a laptop, they cost more and preform less, they also use more power and run hotter, but that is because of the older architecture. Maybe wait till the new line of APUs come out on Laptops if you really want an AMD based laptop.

slick should do a review of linus

The Fleshlight case or something?

You can go 3 way sli with 970s.

everything looks good, except the PSU is overkill.
 
Just Food for thought: The motherboard you are looking at should have a feature called Intel SRT (smart response technology), which can use up to 64 GB of an ssd to cache a non-raided hard drive. (I used this for a year with a 1TB HDD and 128GB SSD. Boot times, load times etc. were identical to installing windows directly on an SSD). I would suggest grabbing a cheap 128GB SSD and a cheap 2TB HDD, and use Intel RST/SRT. its kind of like an sshd, except with 8 times more ssd cache available, which will help with gaming load times tremendously. WD might have an all-in-one dual ssd/hdd drive like this, but it will cost more I think. Seagates sshd don't have enough ssd cache imo.
