IPS display is generally more enjoyable than TN display. Images are sharper and vivid in contrast level and clearer in brightness level compared with those on regular TN panels. Hence, images are more vivid even from left and right side of the viewing angle. TN though has a faster response time...

For a non gamer, you don't need more than the integrated graphics inside the cpu. The quality of your movies will depend solely on the resolution and type of display on your laptop. For gaming, the 1050 should represent a far better value, as it should cost not more than $100 compared to a 960m...

I would go with the i5 + GTX 1070 over the i7 + RX480 for significantly more graphics power in gaming, but if you think the extra logical cores is worth more for video and photo editing purposes, go with the i7. An i5 will still be decent for those tasks, just not as good as an i7 would perform...

I own the HyperX Cloud Revolver. Love the big, red, exhaust-like circles on the outside of each ear cup; they don't light up like those on the Razer Kraken 7.1 Chroma or the SteelSeries Siberia v3 Prism, but they're enough to give my friends something cool to look at. But I have to admit, the...

Like all the above have mentioned, a single GPU setup is generally better. Although they may both have similar in performance in the few titles that are optimized for multiple gpu setups, the problem is with the titles that are not optimized.

You should check your PSU clearance in your chassis for compatibility, not the motherboard. For a standard ATX PSU I recommend this as a minimum https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zNK7YJ/evga-power-supply-100b10500kr Some ITX cases may only fit a small form factor PSU, in which case Silverstone...

A good PSU can save you some money on the electricity bill, and not limit yourself to a 1050ti in the long run. Save yourself some money to get a reliable one like this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zNK7YJ/evga-power-supply-100b10500kr

For graphics both the rx 480 and the gtx 1060 deliver excellent performance at 1920x1080 with detail settings maxed out. Believe it or not, AMD's drivers for the RX 480 has improved a lot. Last year July the gtx 1060 has 12% advantage over the RX 480 on average across DX11 titles at 1080p. Now...

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2svw8K For gaming, the GPU is the most influential component. Beyond the i5, the fps gain is very marginal, if any. In my opinion the budget for overclocking the cpu (getting a z motherboard, a capable cpu cooler) can always be put into the gpu to gain more fps...

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Z64FHN 8GB of RAM is plenty for gaming and you can always add more later, just like your original build suggest. i5-7500, RX 480 8 GB (you can switch it out with Nvidia's equivalent GTX 1060 6GB if you want), 8GB of memory and your system can play latest triple A...

All these mice have excellent sensor and features for competitive gaming. You have to walk into a shop and try them yourselves mate. The overall shape and fit of the mouse to your hand will determine which is best for you. Everyone has different hand size, grip style and weight preference. Some...

The Corsair VS 450 will power your system just fine. The gtx 1070 is also a very capable 4k gaming video card, unless you're a max settings guy or die. For 1080p I dun think the fx "bottleneck" will even show on the monitor even with ultra settings on the latest triple A titles. Sure you lose...

If you don't overclock, I recommend the intel xeon e3-1231 v3, which is basically a locked Hashwell refresh i7. Pair this with a cheap and reliable lga 1150 motherboard, like the asus b85 pro gamer, ASRock B85M-Pro4. Personally I prefer 8 logical cores over the luxury and expense of overclocking...

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RXNRCy Personally with your budget I would go for an i3 7100, a refresh of the i3 6100. The Pentium is fine on DOTA and all mainstream non-demanding titles, but I would spend the extra for an i3 to handle all the background tasks. I believe the ssd can be added...
