With the baby room half way complete and "daddies" home office/game room nearing completion, it's time to look for other important purchases. Especially with ESO launch on April 4th.

Now I wanted a laptop, so I could also bring it downstairs, to watch series together, or something. But seeing that most laptops with decent graphics card/ memory etc. Cost over 1000 euros, perhaps it's better to buy a PC and maybe a tablet later on.
Question is, did I pick the right components, or should I spend a little more/less on the parts.
I won't be playing 6 hours a day or something (part of my earlier choice to go for a laptop, with all its portable advantages). But with a very comfy bed/couch directly behind my office chair, also watching series upstairs is very doable.

looks fine, except the PSU doesn't have enough juice, you'll need around 600watts

I'd agree with Kreg there, the PSU is an often under-valued part of the system, but the whole rig will run so much better with the right PSU.

Thank you both, 600 watts it is then :)


Wasn't to sure about the SSHD, but it seemed like a nice enough option, budget wise.

The SSHD is not my preferred route, but if you only want the one drive then it's faster than a standard HDD.     Personally I'd use a single SSD for the boot and some programs, then put everything else on a larger HDD.     It is cheaper if you combine the SSD and HDD into the single SSHD but it is a compromise.

SSHD's are a odd size, they perform a fair bit better then normal HDD's, but no where near SSD's. Its a good compromise, but a cheap 120Gig SSD with some 1000Gig disk is to be prefered.
