Two questions/Topics: The new GTX 10-series for laptops is the desktop versions shoved inside a laptop, so I was wondering if that meant all these laptops have pci x16 slots inside of them, as I heard they are not compatible with XMX (?) laptop graphic slots. If so, how large are these slots...

Would it be better to put two EVGA GTX 670 FTWs in SLI for only 200 (100 per)? If what I have seen from other sites is correct, it would yield almost the exact same performance.

I believe, although I am not an expert, that you could boost that core up to 4.2 GHz in the BIOS without changing the voltage. You should check its stability with some temperature monitoring software such as SpeedFan and run a stress test with something such as Prime95. If you get a BSOD, try...

So I made a thread before asking about a computer build I made HERE and ended up settling with the intel build recommended by logainofhades but stated modifying it over time. This is what I currently have: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz...

I am ending up going with your design, but do you know if there is a similar motherboard in black?

Upon looking at more websites, it appears that they switch between supporting the fx and the i5. I may go with Logain's build because you both suggest it, but I don't understand why the benchmarks are all over the place.

So I was looking at different ram speeds and I am not completely sure what would be better, a 1600 with 7 CAS, or a 2133 with 9 cas. I am leaning on 2133.
