also maybe. guess i have some research to do. Thanks for the suggestions guys!

maybe that ROG laptop...still looking for something a little more lightweight

eh. looking for something a little more high quality than that...decent laptop for sure, but there's a reason it's under $600...seems like (from the reviews) that it's more of a decent enough laptop to give your teen so he can game/use it for school.

Gaming will be done on Steam Streaming. Don't need a dedicated GPU seeing as my Desktop will be doing all the work and the laptop will just be decoding the video.

no for work i just need something for browsing, microsoft office work, and light programs. And gaming will be done at home over Steam In-Home Streaming. So I don't need something with a dedicated gaming GPU.

"price isn't really an issue as long as it's not something ridiculous like $3k+ for something that doesn't even have a discrete GPU..." none.

What's up guy? Sooo I'm not much of a laptop guy. The little I do know of them mainly stays in the insane gaming laptop scene. But that's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for something that is about: -15" max. - 4-5+ hours battery life. -Decent looking. (I don't want something that looks cheap. I'm ok with plastic as long as it looks good) -Good performance. Again it's a laptop that I'll use for work. But when I come home and maybe want to sit in front of the TV and do some casual gaming(Steam Streaming), I don't want it to be sluggish. Can you guys think of anything that would fit my needs? price isn't really an issue as long as it's not something ridiculous like $3k+ for something that doesn't even have a discrete GPU...

Here are some videos by Linus and Logan that should give you a good idea of the mic quality. (Logan) (Linus)

Should be plenty sufficient. It's not gonna sound absolutely amazing or anything, but it'll sound better than any stock console mic

Maybe try the G230s? http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/g230-stereo-gaming-headset relatively cheap, good sound, and it looks and feels great.

As large as you can. Usually the larger the capacity the longer it should last. Minimum should be a 120GB. Good for the OS, some import/always running programs, and a few of the games you play frequently. a 250+ is good, anything higher is great.

Personally I like the G600 better than the Naga due to the comfort you get from the ring click, but to each their own. The M65 is a good mouse, would suggest. If you want a headset and only game, then look into some of Logitechs or Corsairs stuff. Great headsets there. But if you want to have a headset that's also good for music, then I suggest you look into some $100-$300 headphones + a mod mic.

What about a mouse and keyboard? Try and do some research on the most popular gaming mice and keyboards. Maybe a nice mouse mat as well. Also try to find some nice speakers. You just have to do some digging around, read some reviews, draw some conclusions. We can all suggest stuff that WE like, but you might not like it. If i were to suggest a KB/M I would say try to get a G600 (amazing mouse) and some sort of Mechanical keyboard. Like a Corsair K70 or a Ducky shine 3. Otherwise it looks like you have a VERY solid build. Only suggestions I'd make in terms of your build is try to go Intel. I personally love AMD CPUs for the money, but if you go Intel with that $70 CPU and a Z97 board you have a much longer upgrade path.

Lol I like my 1200W Seasonic PSU. It matches my build really well. And technically it would produce right about the same amount. It's still two 290xs just now in a smaller form factor. Plus I REALLY like the look of those Sapphire cards O_O Remember, looks are a big deal for me thanks to the 760T. Again, I could always sell whatever cards I decide to buy down the road and get, even if it's less than what I paid for them, a decent amount of money back for them. Making my upgrade to the 800 series cards much easier. (Or maybe give em to my cousin and lil bro for their rigs idk.)

Thanks for all the help guys. Been great getting some advice.

again, price isn't much of an issue here, willing to pay a lil more for top tier. And PCPartpicker shows up to 916 watts max and I like to have a lot of overhead when it comes to PSUs. Holy shit those NB ELoops look really damn sexy...any info on them? all my quick google search showed was, good quality, quiet fans. But then compared to the Noctuas I'm planing to get? Also see above comment about 1200W PSU

it's only a difference of 7 dollars...figure i might as well go for the 2400Mhz one for that extra Epeen

alright sweet. thanks guys. OP revised with this list now http://pcpartpicker.com/p/jBvnyc any thoughts guys?

what about this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202110&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID= I was looking for saphhire cards when I came across this and I just love the look...

Really? I've always seen that DCUll is a great cooling option...and I decided against the Windforce.

yeah just did some research...won't be using that site again... looks like all i have to do now is choose between DCUll and Windforce coolers...

what about a pair of 6gb 780s? gpuboss.com says 780>290x and since VRAM may be a problem why not 6gb 780s?

Oh and will having dual 780TIs help with the whole 4K issue? or will 290Xs be better?

UUUGGGHHH the horrible waiting....besides if anything, I could sell my 780TIs and buy any new 800 series cards I like.

Will the extra VRAM but step down 780 really make a difference?
