 Watercooling would cost more than your whole budget.

Yes i would like to know where to save my coinz, but also have looks and mid range performance, i do not play farcry, battlefield and those other games...(I want be able to play AC4 at least)

i am looking for at least 3x better performance in comparison with my current laptop, which is realy bad anyway...

i MUST to use an external cooler if i model 3D (Solid Edge ST6), otherwise my gpu overheats.

 

not to much is asked here 

 

P.S. I also like windowed side panels
