Anything with a “U” won’t be suitable for gaming.

 

Ideally, you want a processor with an “HQ” at the end. While the i5 7300HQ’s naming might seem that it is significantly slower than the i7 7700HQ, in reality it’s not all that slow. It loses out in HT, but as of this time, there’s not a heap of games that can take full advantage of multithreading.

Yes but I to this day have not seen a laptop that anyone owns that has had a HQ I5 either lol. Not even in the stores here.

I have the second highest teir MBP 15", that is a recent purchase. It performs better than I expected, and keeps up with the similarly spec'd Alienware laptops I've played with. Battery life is great. Cooling is decent, I can game on it and I haven't gotten it to throttle any worse than any other laptop I've tried.

 

And I just bought an Oculus Rift.

 

I can pick all 4 if I damn well please.

Friend had a 2016 MBP, once the fan kicks in you grab hearing protection...

More idiocy coming your way.

 

I guess somebody has never tried the Ryzen processors. And I also think he has never played a Vulkan title or used Adobe Premiere Pro, which will benefit GREATLY from multicore processing. Keep in mind we’re talking about the Ryzen Pro, which are Ryzen processors with enhanced security features for enterprise desktops, not ThreadRipper and EPYC.

 

>Shoebox case

>GTX 1080 Ti

>Actually putting other parts that’s a good fit for a 1080 Ti

>$1200

 

Also, you forgot the keyboard and mouse. Gee, I built this sick compact PC and someone kind has lent me their monitor. Sure with I had something to use it with.

 

Try again pal.

The 1080TI is more then half the budget lol, but i guess you could get in a R5 1400 in there? Should be just fine but I can't make a PCPP atm

You could, but it just seems silly to spend $800 on a 1080 Ti with a STRIX cooler (for example and $800 was the price as of this time) leaving $400 for the case, RAM, CPU, cooler, storage, etc.

 

I did a PCPP after reading that. Configured an R5 1600, H100i v2, 16GB of Ripjaws DDR4-3200, an MSI B350M mATX motherboard, a 250GB 950 EVO, a 1TB WD Blue 7200RPM and a STRIX 1080 Ti and before I could configure the power supply, case, additional fans and the OS, I already exceeded $1500.

I’d probably go with the middle one.

 

We haven’t configured a case and cooler though. I’m not sure if we can even put a 1080 Ti in a “shoebox”-sized case if it exists

To some extent (tho very little) he is correct. It does remove sunlight.

What about an actual shoe box though. Those are more or less free if you have ever bought shoes. Just have the top open, cut a hole for the IO and possibly a hole for the GPU and you are done
