Would want to cheapen but can't(don't mind switching to equally powerful laptop). Any advice or reconsideration? Buying on feb 2 so you have until then for edits (note: this will be used for very hardcore 60fps 4k gaming on Overwatch heavily modded skyrim dishonored 2 etc

Yes, I know it's still $7.02 over BUT:

It has a much better CPU cooler

A probably more reliable HDD

And you can still overclock.

Could I learn your ways of gpu cooling to overclock properly 

Just add more case fans and maybe water-cooled it with an set of Corsair GPU cooling (bracket and AIO cooler)

U can also watercool CPU or custom watercool ur system
