Unfortunately as you said, Macbooks are out of my price range.

I am looking for a laptop with any i7 HQ/MQ (or any powerful quad+ core) with a big battery and 15.6 inch 1080p screen. Another key requirement is a 4 PCIE lane USB-C port to use for an external GPU. I would rather not have a built in dedicated GPU in exchange for longer battery life and lower price. Razer stealth is too small, and the screen resolution imo is pretty stupid for that size. I have looked at laptops like the Dell XPS 15 9560 and Gigabyte Aero 15, and those do satisfy the requirements (especially the big battery) but I would rather have one without a built in GPU, so that it costs under $1500 and has an even better battery life. Any options?

It's a mobile gpu, AMD R9 M265x. The computer it's on is capable to be bought with a 4k laptop screen (Toshiba P50 series)

As the title states.

Thanks! I will update my list with something along the lines of this. Thanks again.

Works, but Mid tower, and ITX, a bit weird... but some kind of fractal design define nano s and that works. Thanks!

Okay, I will take this into account. Thanks!

Some people sent me builds with a 1070, like this one http://pcpartpicker.com/list/Vdhh7h

Okay, but instead of higher costs going liquid, should I cut down some other costs and go with a 1070? There are builds for $1200 that have a 1070.

I will think about putting in a 1070 and scraping down the costs of some other components (ie the psu) Thanks for the help!

Liquid cooling, hm... I will have to think about it. Is it a quiet alternative? I would rather have a quiet pc than one that overclocks very well.

I will just use a different mobo instead. But running the 1070 on a freesync monitor, is tearing a big problem?

Sadly no wifi on that mobo., but ofc that can be changed out Is the PSU any good? 50 dollars make me a bit suspicious on its quality, but its not like I know anything about PSUs, you tell me. Neat build.

Haha it's okay, just type your essay.
