    Ryuk got a reaction from NoobCase in Maximum monitor refresh rate stuck at 85hz from possible 165 (via DisplayPort 1.2)   
    So you think it is 100% the cable? I just tried reinstalling the drivers with DDU and nothing.

    EDIT: Tried running low resolutions, still cannot go beyond 85hz. Tried lowest possible resolutions as well, simply cannot go high refresh rate.
    EDIT2: Doesn't that mean that the bandwidth is not the problem? It should have worked with the lowest possible resolution or am I wrong?

    I'm not sure if you can actually fit an AIO in there look for a low profile air cooler like the Cryorig C1 or some of Noctuas offerings
     
    other than that it looks pretty good, though i can agree with @blu4 and suggest an i5 as it produces less heat to begin with

    If you're flying I'm not sure putting a water cooler in there is a smart idea.
    Especially if you're putting the computer (and likely have to) into the belly of the plane.
     
    Your case choice is quite large...

    GL getting an AIO cooler in there The best cooler for you would be the Noctua NH-L. Also consider getting an i5 with lower TDP, the cooler wont be able to cool the CPU properly in such a tiny case. You will see high temps. Below is a list I've modified a bit:

    and ruin the laptop
    ASUS has a new G551 coming out soon .. I don't like the highlighted WASD buttons though. The screen is overkill too and the top seems way too glossy

    Thank you.

    I considered your suggestions together with mine. I've narrowed it down to Audio Technica Pro700mk2(weird, noone suggested) and the M50X. Detachable cables are kind of a must for me, forgot to mention. I am a heavy user so I need something that will last and has replaceable parts. the pro700 with m50 pads is my current favorite. What do you think about them, if anyone had anything to do with them.

    Not that are small, thin and aluminium. Most gaming laptops are plastic. Yeah it heats up but all gaming laptops do, my m18x could melt the ice caps but since its big it has some pretty powerful exhausts so the machine doesnt get hot. Smaller machines just get up as the cannot move as much air around the chassis
     
    You will have to compromise somewhere
     
    plastic = cheap but feels pants
    thick = better cooling + more powerful but heavier and means backpack
    thin = less weight easier to carry but worse cooling and performance
     
    You have to pick what is important to you, I am looking to replace my M18x for the razer blade, as Its performance is great but its too big to carry, since I have a rig I just need something lightweight for taking around with me to work/friends house/travelling
     
    I have an 11.6" clevo based laptop, which is a ruberised plastic, honestly it feels great, but it has a terrible screen (basically its a netbook with a 650m) but it gets hot and doenst give me the performance I need

    The razer blade will probably stay pretty cool if you are playing lighter games like CS:GO and LoL and stuff. And yeah when it comes to thin all metal laptops that are good at gaming all fingers point towards the razer. but if you are willing to forgo build quality I'd grab any skew in the lenovo Y series that fits you best. But if build quality is a MUST then yeah the razer. They are coming out with a new revisions soon that pretty much adresses every issue with it as well. So it will be just about the perfect laptop (If you don't mind the price that is )

    Nothing beats macbook for lightweight laptop. I'm no apple fan i hate osx but every laptop i every use cheaps out on least one part build/trackpad/keyboard/overheats/bad wifi. I just bought a macbook for $150 off (college student) load windows via bootcamp and use steam gamestreaming to play my games, it works great over ac wifi. Pm me if you want more info

    Of those listed, I'd go with the 2014 razer blade. I like it's size and weight, and the specs are nice. Pretty much any thin form factor will have some heat dissipation issues.
    Edit: Ew, didn't know the razer was capped at 8gb. Ugh. That would be a no go for me.
    Fyi, I'm a longtime os x user. No complaints, except for games I still prefer using windows. Even if I'm playing on my mbp.

    The razer blade is probably the best of them all, it has the build quality and looks of the macbook but gaming specs to kick the but of most laptops, especially if you want the portability. Also it is one of very few laptops to use a unibody metal chassis.
     
    Also all of those laptops will play Crysis 3 at high settings. Gaming laptops are quite powerful these days
     
    Really as far as decent sized laptops that are well built and not plastic and garish (like msi and alienware although I love the m14x) then that is really all I can recommend
     
    EDIT: btw the lenovos are nice looking and well built but they are plastic feeling, though nice high quality

    In your situation I would go mATX, 16GB Ram ( it's too much for now, but in a year or two it might be a necessity ) with a GTX 780 on a motherboard which supports SLI so you could ever add a second one.
    For gaming only, get the i5 4670 ( not the K version as in your build because you are not overclocking ) it's the best Intel CPU for gaming at a normal price and get a H87 board as you won't be overclocking.
    I also wouldn't go for AIO watercooling or even a custom loop if you don't want to overclock.
     
    Also your PSU is overkill, a 550watts one with the 80 Plus bronze rating or better is more than enough.
