I would say that the key difference is that LTT actually cares about their fan base as opposed to companies who honestly don't care about their individual customers. IMO there is nothing wrong with SLIGHTLY (keyword slightly) stylizing titles and thumbnails to generate views, it is their revenue stream after all. There's a major difference between what LTT is doing and real clickbait.

So, in August I'm moving out to go to a residential High School. I've decided to build a PC for my dorm. The build contains all components and my top budget it $1,300US. I just wanted you all to look and tell me where I can save/ improve. NOTES I have to keep the Thermaltake case because I <3 it. A wifi card is required because there are no ethernet ports in the room. Gaming performance is very important. I do not need Windows 10. I plan to Upgrade to either a 1440p or 144hz monitor in the future. Please recommend another 5 button mouse in the same price point.

Sound cool

The 970 will probably be a layover gpu that may be switched out for the pascal architecture or another card if I move to 1440p.
