I agree! 

sorry it's just a habit thing, like hitting a reply button.

I can't tell the difference. It honestly just looks like you took off the red spiral.

It depends, most cases have restricted airflow to the front of the case, and most of the time air flows out the sides of the front in little slits, through an air filter. If you're too lazy, I don't think switching the fans around would be that bad, unless you're a temp freak.

It's just much faster.

I would hold out until Zen right now. Price drops are pretty much over now, so you would be buying at base price, and it wouldn't be worth it.

Wait for Ryzen to come out, then make the decision.

I disagree. I think that normal wear and tear is going to shorten the life span compared to a desktop, and I also think that 16gb of ram isn't that useful paired with a 750m, but that's just like, my opinion man.  

I mean, it's a laptop. They aren't designed to last the better part of a decade. I'm not familiar with child labor laws in South Korea, but if I were you, I would get a job ASAP.

It would make more sense to just have a flash drive on your keychain, which could be up to like 256 gigs.

not really nice choice. 

I really loved to overcomplicated things.

tru
 
i read athlon instead of sempron my bad

I would be surprised if he can get 50 bucks

I would pay $10 for it, then use it for everything that doesn't involve turning it on, like practice soldering into and out of the motherboard.

I built this PC as my first PC ever for gaming. I'm 18 and I got my first job at my local Hungry Howies Pizza place this summer, and I was saving like crazy for Black Friday to get this PC. Hence the name, the Humble Howie PC. It isn't much, but it's a lot for me. I paid like $900 for everything, and I don't remember exact prices, but the PCPartPicker prices aren't correct as to what I paid for.

I chose the i5-6500 because I personally find overclocking a hassle and pointless, and it's the bare minimum for gaming nowadays imo. Since making my PCPartPicker post I have bought a cryorig H7, but that's not included in pics because im too lazy :P. It also hasn't really done much for me.  I originally bought it a few days ago because I heard lots of fan noise in my PC and it felt really hot, but once I installed the cooler, I learned that the really loud fan noises were from my tiny GPU.
This motherboard was the best cheapest motherboard I could find that had an M.2. Slot, so I bought it.

I could've saved a little bit of money on the RAM by buying 8gb, but I figured that I should splurge the small extra amount of money for 16 gigs for future proofing and I thought it would be nice.

I already had this hard-drive, so I put it in this PC for a secondary storage drive. The SSD I got from Microcenter's online store for like $44 bucks, it was insane. It's pretty zippy and really cheap for a 256gb SSD, let alone an M.2 SSD.

The 1060 6gb mini was only $225 dollars on Amazon at the time, so I snatched that crap up real fast, as it was the cheapest 1060 6gb I could find. I figured that 6gb was better than 3gb because games are starting to utilize more V-Ram and I didn't wanna be bottlenecked a year after I built my PC.

This power supply is really nice imo. No ketchup and mustard cables, they're all black, and the nonmodular cables in it are sleeved (kinda?).

This network card is amazing. It gives me better speeds than my old terrible computer gave me through ethernet haha.

I know I probably could've saved some money on the monitor, but I wanted a 1080p HDMI monitor with an IPS panel that was 21.5 in because of how small my desk is (see pics).

As for the peripherals, I got the keyboard because I really wanted blue switches and RGB, and this was the cheapest I could find, and I love it <3. The Mouse was only $40 plus tax because of the deals going on, so I grabbed it. The Stinger was only $30 bucks on amazon, which is amazing for such a good headset.

My first time building a PC was honestly super easy. I didn't ground myself or anything or wear anti-static garbage, and my PC is fine. I also built on a carpet floor, with nothing happening. Cable management was a little bit of a challenge, and I would say that was the only hard part. Everything else was straight forward. Oh yeah, and the stupid case plugins sucked ***. plugging in the power button lights, and 1 pin connectors were annoying AF and I'm honestly still not sure they're in correctly lmao. Also, I freaked out when I first tried to post, because I forgot one of the plugs into the motherboard from the power supply, and I thought I got dead parts but I plugged it in and it all turned out great!!!

On a side note, I think I might need to buy a storage unit for these giant ******* boxes lmao.

theres a lot more to the world than pcpartpicker
their list is very limited
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834154112

Right now there is also a deal on a great MSI laptop for $699 with an i5-6300hq, 960m 2gb, 8 gigs of ram, and 1tb of storage. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834154112&cm_re=960m-_-34-154-112-_-Product This might be a little out of your price range though,
 
Oops, i didn't see the other guy that posted this same one.

Ignore that first guy, this laptop definitely does exist. I understand the need for a laptop also and I am looking for a good one also. If you look at newegg, they have some insane deals right now. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834315423&cm_re=950m-_-34-315-423-_-Product That laptop has the GTX 950m with 2 gigs of gddr5, 8gb of memory, 1 tb of storage, a 128 gig ssd, and an i5-6200u. IT is only $589!!. Also, if you want to go  cheaper, there is another good one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834315535&cm_re=940m-_-34-315-535-_-Product This laptop has the gt 940m with 2 gigs of i think gddr3, 8 gigs of memory, and 1 tb of storage. The only drawback is the screen is 720p at 1366x768. With these cards, you can run gta 5 at medium-high setting at a solid 45 FPS, and if you don't believe me, look up youtube video benchmarks.

Actually i already took ENC 1101, and I'm taking ENC 1102 right now, so I won't need to take them in college.
