What a ridiculous system?
 
"Hi we built a computer"
 
"Great! Can I have a replacement part?"
 
"No they dont exist"
 
"How do you build a computer with parts that dont exist?"

Most of these parts I already had, while the case, and GPU are the new parts along with the sleeved cables. Even with those few changes it looks like a completely new build

I like the new color options but the design is pretty bad

My 1440p 144hz screen got tired of running around 70FPS on medium settings with my GTX 970 so I got a GTX 1080 TI.

Four down, four to go!
 
(Don't judge the cable management, I was in a rush)

Rig is in the signature. I don't believe the rating means anything, ran it twice. Vastly different rating the second time. 

Putting something into a new device isn't innovation, it's just CTRL-P'ing someone else's stuff into your product. Slide to unlock was a thing before phones and therefore shouldn't be patented. If we let people patent something every time they change the medium it's used in then we're gonna have a few problems on our hands.

Wow you didn't even read what I wrote did you? Apple has never invented anything, they just take things from other mediums and place it in their devices then claim they invented the world.

I will swear by unlocked processors.

Because facts and actual statistics mean nothing to fan boy's! If you blind with ignorance you can't see the framerate anyway's.

OP wants a windows laptop capable of gaming for around 1000$. I don't understand why you are trying to get him to waste money on Apple tosh.

Yes

Wow, the worst part is, is that I did look there but got sidetracked and added my steam account.

AMD's current strategy... rather the only thing they can do is to compete on price. AMD wants to have premium things that they can charge more for because that's what makes money. Lets remind ourselves that the 8150 started at $245, the A10-7850K costed as much as an i5, and the Nano started at $650. Now you can find a 8320 for around $100, 7850ks for around $120, and a Nano at $500.
 
AMD Zen has to bring something to the table that Skylake isn't providing and be convincing enough of a switch so that people buy it. If Zen is as fast as Haswell, then what's the incentive for people on Ivy bridge or newer to switch? Going to Zen would require a new motherboard and having to buy DDR4 RAM whereas you could just buy a 3770k/4790k and spend less. AMD can compete on value again, but unless Zen is small and cheap to produce that won't create the money AMD needs.
 
There just isn't enough information about Zen to really draw any conclusions. All we have so far is that it's supposed to be 40% clock for clock faster than Excavator. What about power efficiency? Are average clock rates higher or lower?  Does it overclock well or not at all?

40% from bulldozer?   :lol:

I would say either forgetting about the 8pin CPU plug after you put your cooler on, or cable management, it beats me how people do it so well.
