help Should I get a new PC?

[azb_]

Hey everyone,

 

SO. I have recently got 700 dollars, was going to build a PC. Then, I realized something; I have very little time when I am actually in my room (where the pc would go), aside from when I'm doing homework. I usually just sit on the couch with a laptop instead.... Is it worth it to buy a new PC for the few times I have time to use it? Or should I just save this money for a new laptop

 

Here's the build I would make:

 

CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($191.89 @ OutletPC) 
Motherboard: ASRock Z170 Pro4S ATX LGA1151 Motherboard  ($72.98 @ Newegg) 
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory  ($87.89 @ OutletPC) 
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($48.89 @ OutletPC) 
Video Card: XFX Radeon RX 480 8GB XXX OC  Video Card  ($199.99 @ Newegg) 
Case: NZXT S340 (Black/Red) ATX Mid Tower Case  ($66.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Power Supply: Corsair CSM 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply  ($49.99 @ Newegg) 
Total: $718.62

 

Thanks in advance.

It depends on what you'll do let's say I will buy a laptop for Web Development and daily use but if you want something for gaming build a pc but if you just want to do your homework and for daily use you can get a pretty good laptop for 700$

OK there is good laptops with nvidia graphics card and pretty good specs but building a pc is always cheaper and lots of fun!

And please onto buy a gaming laptop with core i7 or something like that it's useless Unless you are doing some video editing
