That's actually something I was looking for so I could use it as a DVR. I was playing the witcher 3 on it earlier today and the temps didn't get to high on it. It would of been nice if the case supported a small closed loop cooler. The 280x was my old GPU from my desktop I eventually want to...

Try booting with only one Ram stick installed

I just finished my build for a class project for a pc maintenance class i'm taking as part of my IT coursework. I was wondering how if its a good build and should I add anything to it before my presentation in may. CPU: Intel Core i3-6100 3.7GHz Dual-Core Processor ($124.99) Motherboard...

probably overkill I would go with a 500gb I haven't seen many people use more than 300 gb on a laptop

I understand that but I don't think your going to find a noticeable difference in speed of the system by doing a CPU and 2 gb of RAM upgrade. The SSD will make the whole system feel a lot faster.

I would reinstall the OS on the SSD or you can clone drive it but it may have some issues. Just use a desktop

pull the ODD and put an adapter tray in with an SSD upgrade the ram to 8 GB but I recommend buying an 8gb kit

i7 3540m but honestly I don't see much reason to upgrade the cpu in your case. I would add a SSD if your looking to speed it up.

I would stick to the same voltage

I would stick with the 35 watt CPU's that's usually what I do

I have done this countless time while refurbishing laptops and haven't had a problem yet with it. Just make sure its the right socket
