Everyone is going to tell you to go down to the 1700 because the 1800X isn't worth it. And why the 200R? That a cheap case, get something nicer for all that good hardware.

Can you send me a good case? and my i7-6700 rn in my gaming/editing rig from a while back is just not cutting it.

plus i might just switch to an i7-7700k instead

1700 would be better for editing, overall ryzen 1700 will be a good CPU for you.

This maybe? Now a 7700K is better for gaming, but a R7 1700 is better for editing.

 I would still recommend the 1700 over the i7, the 8c/16t will be helpful in the future.

How is this relevant to whether the blade is good or not? Razer laptops are Crap, even Luke said so.

Just saying, the chroma backlight, overall size/build quallity, we have had this argument before

Average.png

now this is the average difference you will see in games. this is also the r5 1600 and not the r7 1700 so expect the 1700 to have about 3 to 5% better performance so the gap really isn't all that large.

They are terrible laptops. Everyone on the forum is in 100% agreement on this at this point.
