Seriously?! In the information letter that I got the tell me that I need at least a 1060, 32GB ram and a i7 (whatever that means) 

why? you to get a i7 + 1050ti laptop, if you want to have a mobile workstation, but for school, an i7+750m will be more than enough.

 

who do you need 32GB ram and a 1060?

when did i say you need 32GB ram and a 1060? 

He's saying the school told him he needed the 1060 and 32gb and i7.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

IKR i think you would need more than a 4 core i7 before you need 32gigs of ram

Now a days almost all the CPUs are 64-bit. 32-bit and 64-bit are both different architectures. Even though Windows 32-bit and 64-bit look the same on both type of processors. A 64-bit OS can benefit you, if you have larger amounts of RAM installed on your Computer (4 GB or more, as Windows 32-bit OS will pretend anything above 3.2 GB isn't there). A 64-bit OS can handle large amounts of memory more efficiently than a 32-bit operating system, a 64-bit system can be more responsive when running several programs at the same time, and switching between them frequently. If you have 4 GB RAM and a modern 64-bit processor then you should install Windows 64-bit, as the 64-bit version of an OS can handle a computer with these specifications more efficiently. But if you have lesser RAM (less than 4 GB ) than stick to 32-bit OS.

I think you've got the wrong thread here.
