    dude I get where you are coming from! you are saving a little at a time and want the best bang for your buck. I have bought and sold and saved to get the next level CPU/ GPU. One thing to remember is new CPU's / GPU's use less power so maybe you can get away with the PSU you have now, also the GPU is normally the bottleneck and can be transferred to a new system. However 4 cores are really needed to push a newer game.

    Should be.  Open it up and check the connections.... Should be standard SATA and power.
     
    EDIT: Mr Google says it is actually    mSATA  inside... so if you have mSATA port you are good to go.

    Usually, no. Very few laptops have a dedicated GPU that can be removed and swapped out for a better one.

    Good starter system with lots of headroom. I would consider upgrading to a quad core down the road and then see what GPU prices are when vega comes out. There are some very good deals for LG 1150 4*** series processors on ebay. I would and have gone used in the past to get the best price to performance.

    shop around you only really need an i5 non-k sku, I unfortunately I don't think you can over clock that chip on your current motherboard, otherwise that chip is unlocked and a great overclocked.  Don't sweat it and have fun!

    Kickflapper got a reaction from myselfolli in 980ti or 1070   
    you will get roughly the same performance, however the 980ti needs more power and is older architecture. Your call but 980 ti for 160.00 less seems like a good value for pure gaming.

    Reset the BIOS. Check your manual for this!! This might help, or else, take out the GPU and try getting it to boot on the IGPU

    Welcome to the forum. Does it post to Bios? Can you access safe-mode upon boot?

    Kickflapper reacted to Xenift in What refresh rate can I overclock my monitor to safely?   
    144hz monitors dont tend to overclock well, since the chips inside are like either made to their limits or that they are binned.
    >.> i havent seen a 144hz overclocked more than 15 before.

    I have had similar problems, I would try starting by testing  one RAM stick at a time and then rotating dim slots

    BIOS is the the built in start up settings (before windows boot). Graphics drivers are windows based.

    If you have the resources though a good antivirus such as ESET Nod32 and Kaspersky are not a bad call, I would very much agree with you though when it comes to those "free antivirus" that does nothing but eat the resource and offer nothing but headaches.

    I think you would be close if not fine and clear. However SLI is kinda discouraged and not that worth it now.

    You have a really good base. Prices do change so always shops around and keep an eye on things. Peripherals start cheap and can get spendy quick to upgrade as you go. Your fundamentals are pretty good with lots of room to upgrade here and there when you get some more money. You will see huge difference compared to console.
