thomchopp

hi there.

I'm 16j and building my first gaming laptop.

I have kind of a low budget and dont really know what parts are good for gaming and editing.

You're always welcome to help me if you want.

 

PS: Sorry if my english isn't good i'm from Belgium.

Ok, first, a desktop isnt the same as a laptop.

2nd. This is the wrong subforum, try using the build forums.

3rd. Tell us your budget a low budget could mean anything.

What currency is that? If it's USD then that's a pretty high end build.

 

If it's CAD then it's probably enough for a doughnut, maybe two if there's a sale. /s

Here you go. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/99KH7h

You could always swap out the 1060 6GB for a 1070. 

I'm not sure if this build fits your needs, but I really recommend making a post on the subforum "New Builds and Planning" just click here  and it will take you to it. You will definitely get more help from there

If you are using buying from German stores, do use euros instead. Price for parts is quite higher in EU than what US stores show. It will help much. And if you budget is €1500 for just tower, that really isn't low. You can get nice gaming rig for €1000-1200.
