I've been busy and i've been looking at the ASUS ROG G20. I was wondering what i can upgrade in the future. I'm looking at basics. Not anything overkill upgrade. I'm busy with school work, and work to pay for my rent and etc. Also does the alienware graphics amplifier work with any laptop?

Remember a wise man once said, "You'll most likely hear/see more bad reviews from products than good, because if they get a good product, they won't bother to write a review, and if they got a bad product, they'll complain about the product" ~ SoftenButterCream

I don't advise buying a pre-built computer, ever :) give me a budget and I'll put together a shopping list for you! Building your own is cheaper and will often get the job done better.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Eh don't really have the time to. I only get a hour rest a day. Its go to school, rest for an hr, go to work, come home, shower, do hw, and sleep, and repeat. My budget is about 600 currently if i were to built one.

hmm I see... although it only takes about 2 hours to assemble a pc, so you could do it across two days or on a weekend.

 

I would recommend something like this:

 

 
CPU: Intel Core i5-4440 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($168.99 @ NCIX US) 
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B85M-DS3H Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($55.98 @ Newegg) 
Memory: Mushkin Redline 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2400 Memory  ($62.99 @ Newegg) 
Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon R9 280 3GB WINDFORCE Video Card  ($174.99 @ NCIX US) 
Case: Thermaltake VL80001W2Z ATX Mid Tower Case  ($24.99 @ Micro Center) 
Total: $617.18
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

If you want to spend a bit less I would change the cpu with a core i3 4160.
