Damn i know that feeling OP, its always nerve wracking building the first fairly expensive build

Full H.265 10-bit encode and decode hardware acceleration. Even Nvidia and AMD don't have that yet.

Is it weird that I'm turned on by that

imo you're spending too much on the ram kits. Better DDR4 3000 2x 8GB kits are available at 80bucks

Hate to say this, but save for the RX470. Would be worth it.

I hope it'll be priced fairly, looks great, I think modding it further will be pretty cool

I don't see why you can't go with the RX470 or the RX480 4GB, both of which come into your budget, but realistically, might cost more depending on where you live. A little more info where you are geographically or the online portals that ship to you could help find the best deal for ya

In my current stage of life, I think I'd go with the New New New(? xD ) Razer Blade 14 with the GTX1060. As a college student, portability and power in my case go hand-in-hand, and the Razer Blade 14 has it all. Tug it around to class or go to LAN parties and game, it can do whatever you throw at it. I KNOW LINUS IS GOING TO SWITCH TO THE 1060/1070(if there will be) ONE.
I already have an HP Pavillion 15 with a i5 6200U and GT940M, and am kinda done with ULV cpus, my testing shows that its single core IPC equals to that of a stock Sandy Bridge-E, which is decent but something I'm not too fond of, one of the main reasons why I don't want the Stealth since there won't be much difference even between a 'newer' architecture i7 ULV and the Skylake i5 ULV (as Intel purportedly has aimed more towards efficiency, rather than IPC improvements), adding apart the costs of buying the Core + a good graphics to push those 4K pixels.

Tb to Razer Switchblade times with Intel Atom. *Pfft*

Would it be safe to say that the RX480 > GTX 1060 3GB?

Well to be honest I don't know what to think of this phone, I already have a Samsung Galaxy Note 5, I can barely see this phone getting the better of my Note 5 at anything except synthetic benchmarks. Nothing special here I guess?

(Still would love to use it tho, Smartphone master race )

I use the standard clunky keyboard of my HP laptop which is paired with a Logitech B100 mouse. Obviously not the best but it works

I kid you not, but I'm using an Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 with a 1GB Point of View Nvidia GeForce 8400GS.

My laptop is an i5 6200U with a GT940M.

I know the RX480 will easily bottleneck my E7500 but it'll be an incentive to upgrade to a newer rig, been waiting to jump on the AMD bandwagon anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It'd really be nice to get a head start in the graphics department

How about this-http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/nuc/change-the-game-with-nuc.html

The integrated Iris 580 is roughly as powerful as the Nvidia GT940M, so rest assured you can play a few more demanding titles than the League of Legends,

And later on you can get a graphics amplifier if you need more gfx oomph thanks to the tb3.

What a load of crap, this article.

Demand>>Supply.

Well to be honest I don't know what to think of this. Or any projector as a matter of fact. I don't really have a benchmark to judge projectors.

The only time I've used projectors were at school for smart boards. Let's just say it wasn't an amazing experience for me.

This product looks interesting as it's a short throw one, so pretty compact not just in size but setup wise too.

If it works for Linus, it works for me too. (Although it's sponsored )

I'd really like to get my hands one on thanks to you guys. I know I have an abysmally low chance of actually getting it but whatever, I tried. It'd totally make me THAT guy when I go to college this fall

Yup, I'd go for the 6800K. Would run the GTX1080s at 8x though, not that it matters since they won't even bottleneck at 8x

but do you think it'll be worth spending 200 bucks for a 10 fps increase?

I can get the 4590 for 150 right now as well as a good mobo for 72. All thanks to a local microcenter.

Then what are you waiting for?

So a new i5 4590 costs 200usd and a good mobo would be 100 more on that.

Whereas you could get a new better am3+ mobo with the noctua for less than 200 and OC your Fx8350.

And reuse the noctua later on.

All comes down to you.

~$100 for a decent water cooler to get decent clocks and a simliarly priced mobo to the one i found for the Intel

There's always the noctua d15. Which mobo do you have right now?

On a plus side when you get a new rig after college you could definitely re use the AIO or noctua as it'll still be pretty relevant.

So wouldn't that be inexpensive as compared to buying a new cpu+mobo?

how about you overclock the hell out of the Fx8350 and save some $$

its actually dual 8gb or a single 16 if I can find one

http://pcpartpicker.com/product/4vWrxr/gskill-memory-f42400c15d16gvr

decent?

Why did you go for a quad channel ram config? Wouldn't dual 8GBs be better?

Well, give ebay some time, they'll take it off.

But they might not, since the nds scene is basically dead.
