Recently I started studying at University of Technology (Informatics), and I am looking for a good laptop around the price i mentioned in the topic. I am from Europe (in case someone if someone finds a nice deal on eu sites) Someone knows any good, reliable one?

So the guy from an online store emailed me that "I should take the EVGA or usual "Strix", because from his experience the OC's are more often breaking or having problems with stability when working". Should I be worried about that?

I managed to find Sabrent Rocket for $150,43 all tax included. I m happy because the ones you proposed are, in fact cheaper, kind of slower. About pure performance, Zotac or ASUS one? Pure curiosity.

Sorry for constant asking, but I think I should mention this: 1. As for where I live (Poland, so that is why I may be responding in different times) theres no available SB Rocket SSD. If I were to buy it from nearest amazon, it would be like 25 dollar cheaper than the 970 evo plus 1TB. So, maybe there would be another SSD you would recommend? 2. The GPU you chose is very similiar priced as the ROG in my country. Maybe you could help me find choose other ones? On polish trusted websites i found these, it would be easier for you to check like this: - ASUS RTX 2080 Ti ROG STRIX 11Gb GDDR6 5 769,00 zł = 1 465,40 $ - MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING X TRIO 11GB GDDR6 5 699,00 zł = 1 447,07 $ - Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING OC 11GB GDDR6 5 199,00 zł = 1 320,25 $ - ZOTAC GeForce RTX 2080 Ti AMP 5 710,00 zł = 1 449,97 $ And here are identical cards, but i found them on shady website ( currently I'm investigating their trustfulness by asking for opinion known Polish IT youtuber): - ASUS 5 370,70 zł = 1 364,13 $ - MSI 5 095,50 zł = 1 294,23 $ - Gigabyte 4 794,50 zł = 1 217,62 $ - ZOTAC 4 811,70 zł = 1 221,52 $ European VAT tax are painful, I know

One quick question: The hardware of your choice like that PSU or cooler should be fine for that decent overclocking you mentioned?

Just wow, I was looking for this kind of pc part swap! Like in minutes i recieve amazing help and explanation from multiple people, even with pcpartpicker link! You guys are great. I’m staying here learning with you people!

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about ryzen also, as they would be better option for all-purpose. Also you mean that intel cpu and this MB will limit the power of the nvme ssd i chose? Or you meant pcie 4.0 will be compatible? Hardest part of learning computer parts was for me the storage Maan, now I am considering a change in CPU

No need to, i should've mention it along with purpose. Right now i have my crappy 60Hz 1080p, but in future i would like to plug it into solid 144Hz QHD

Mostly gaming and some programming

I know, quite expensive rig, but I want it to last long. Is it the best setup for that price? Should I change something to another model with same price or lower? Which one would you prefer? Or maybe buy cheaper x for pricier y? Also my fan setup on this case will be like this: 2x NF-A14 140mm front intake 1x NFS12A 120mm rear exhaust 2x stock fan 120mm top exhaust Is it good? Be gentle as it is my first build after a month of loose research, so when trying to swap an item I would love to see why this change so I can learn ? P.S. Sorry if my english was bad somewhere.
