so, it's back to school season and I need a new laptop, and I do have some computer knowladge and I do have a budget, so I narrowed it down to two laptops that will fit me perfectly, and I need your opinion on which one is better for me. I will start learning programming so keep that in mind. I...

while you can, that PSU is just not good enough, and your entire platform is just a little bit outated and not powerful enough for a card like a 1070.

good to know. from what nvidia is saying, it should be somewhere between the titanX to the 1080, so it should be very good.

accedentally put US links but you get the point

what's your budget? I wouldn't buy a 980 ti, because of the GTX 1080 launch a few days ago, you will be able get a GTX 1080 with a good cooler for around the price of a 980 ti, with much better performance. the rest of the system is good, although I feel you are overpaying on your PSU, and...

I would go for the first one, because it has a GTX 970, and a SSD. CPU and all of the peripherals are good enough

there is not "best cpu for the setup", we need to know a few things: do you have a motherboard already? do you have RAM already? what's your budget?

the Xtreme version is better cooled, and more OC'ed from the factory, but in any case, don't buy a GTX 970 right now, because at june 10th the 1070 is releaced, and will be much better than the 970. I have a 970 myself, and upgrading to the 1070, it's THAT good.

yes.

this is above your budget, but this is the best option, if you dont want to go cheaper (with a gtx 960, or a 380/380x. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB ACX 2.0 Video Card ($303.98 @ Newegg) Power Supply: SeaSonic S12II 520W 80+ Bronze...
