  1. No. You talking about one of the top consumer CPU's they should not bottleneck anything within reason or something would be seriously wrong.
  2. I do own a Notebook with the flip functionality (the HP Specter x360) and I love my loptop but honestly I think the flip function is quite stupid. You allways have the keys on the back which for me is just annoying and it is to heavy to use as a tablet comfortably anyways so whats the point? Other then that I think the zenbook series is quite nice the last I checked out was the ux305 altough I haven't seen the ux306 which should be the one with the flip functionality.
  3. If you writing a lot I think the surface pro 4 is a bad choice, the keyboard is quite bad I think. If you really like a convertible and you have the money maybe take a look at the surfacebook still not a great keyboard but definitely better. If you just want a touchscreen I would recommend the xps 13 in my opinion a lovely laptop.
  4. Sure if you don't like low fps in 4K resolution but like more then 1080p.
  5. I'm looking for a laptop that will perform well with video editing. Around the 1000€ mark there are some that I think will do just fine like the Dell Inspiron with a i7-6700HQ and GTX 960M. But are there cheaper alternatives that still perform well maybe around ~800€?
  6. Maybe you want to look into the Opencv library for C/C++ which offers some easy way to manipulate pictures pixel by pixel.
  7. Agree maybe you want to spend a little more on your mobo with a better chipset if in the future you decide to overclock. if you don't want to overclock now, I think just stick with you air cooling unless you really want to spend the time and effort.
  8. Don't know if it necessarily the best but the Xeon E3-1231 V3 is a good processor and definitely an improvement over your Pentium G3258
  9. I like the Vive but I think everyone who used it can see that there needs to be a lot of work done before VR-experience will be something for daily use. I think it isn't the worst sign that Vive is interested in improving their product and releasing new revisions. I for one am very excited for improvements.
  10. One of them was from Cosair the other I honestly can't remember any more.
  11. Don't care much for apple products usually and yes one could make and easy joke but I do like the concept of AR so if more companies like to invest in this technology I am fine with it looking forward what they come up with.
  12. as long as they have the same specs you should be fine, just make sure your mobo supports the ram you choose. I myself have two different kinds of RAM sticks in my system and no issues
  13. just re-partition both your ssd and hdd during the windows installation and you will be fine just keep in mind that all your data is going to be lost.
  14. I would love to see a comeback of this too!!! But this time please with hinges that don't break. I like convertibles but I always find it annoying touching the keyboard on the backside!
  15. maybe the one plus x might be interesting for you it isn't exactly under 200 but 239 is quite close and the phone is quite superb
  16. I agree either go with the r9 390 or the Rx 480 If you prefer Nvidia maybe go with the 1060 if you can get your hands at one the gtx 960 is definitely not worth the 200$
  17. Nah I meant if you have anything from some old computer you can and want to use for this one. But anyways: Case: Buy one that you like there is no real point recommending anything just look at a few and choose the one that speaks to you the most CPU: i5 5600k should be fine 250$ GPU: gtx 1060 or rx 480 really depends on what you can get your hands on 200-300$ RAM: 8GB ddr4 ram just buy one you like and you can get cheap. MOTHERBOARD: Something like the Z170-P D3 I think ~100$ STORAGE: WD black 1TB HDD ~70$ and if you want a SSD for your operating system I am very happy with the samsung 850 EVO ~70$ Just some recommendations, you are very flexible with the Motherboard storage ram and so on.
  18. If you don't care about the cooler I think there is no reason not to buy one. I think the biggest question will be how much the aftermarket cards will cost and how well they will be available so a lot of guessing.
  19. Do you have anything you can/want to reuse like a case, powersupply or ram?
  20. Well actually depends. I think the difference between the gtx 1060 and 1070 is bigger then the difference between i5 and i7. So if you look for best overall performance or emphasis on gaming I think the i5 config. is preferable otherwise for rendering I think the i7 would be your best choice.
  21. I agree. The possibility to crossfire might actually be a good argument for the 480 although if the time comes you might be better of just selling the 480 and buying something bigger. So personally I think I would go with the 480 but honestly you be fine with either. Maybe just choose the cheaper one I'm sure your parents won't mind.
  22. Do you plan to overclock and what are the prices in your region?
  23. I feel suggesting a case is quite difficult. It always depends on what you like since there is not really a objective best case... but maybe you want to consider buying your case used you can sometimes save some real money and get cool cases, that's at least what I usually do.
  24. Sure there are arguments for both cards and yes you might get few fps more here or there on one card in some games. But to be honest you will be fine with either and they are quite close together concerning performance so if you love to buy amd just do I doubt you will regret it
  25. Well then its easy go with the T460 I think it is worth for the better screen alone. If I'm not completely wrong the HD screen on the L460 is an TN panel, and again personal preference but I think on laptops they are just annoying (viewing angels and so on).
