Picking Kids Laptop for School Work & Modded Minecraft

Maybe a little more expensive than what I originally anticipated, but even though minecraft seems to be their primary game I want to have a little wiggle room to allow it to play some other games as well when a time comes. I've been looking at this one but am still in research mode...

Picking Kids Laptop for School Work & Modded Minecraft

I've always built our own gaming PCs, but I need help picking a laptop with specs that will not break the bank and allow for dual use. I built my 8 and 9 year olds decent, mild gaming PCs, but for Christmas '15 I want to get them both laptops. It will be for general computer usage, homework at...

Creating a 3 Monitor Setup

I've made my decision, and am happy with it. I've always envisioned 3 monitors but after the last few weeks of studying this, and then looking at what it would cost me to do it the way I want and what I would get back over all from it I decided against 3 screens and went with the Dell U3415W 34"...

Creating a 3 Monitor Setup

Took a ride to MicroCenter during lunch to stand in front of a 34 inch curved monitor. No doubt about it, the look is sweet. I would be more than content with that for absolutely any use, from any type of work or gaming. My biggest hangup is for years I've envisioned a 3 screen setup for sim...

Creating a 3 Monitor Setup

So, I've spent the better part of the day reading reviews, and technical articles about 3 screens and 21:9 monitor reviews and I come away thinking, I'm going to bed uncertain and confused. I love the aspect of being surrounded by screens in a cockpit feel for racing sims and flying sims but...

Creating a 3 Monitor Setup

Starting to think going 3 screens that use G-SYNC may be more than I want to spend. Probably look for something that is a quality gaming 27 inch monitor and get 3 of those. If G-SYNC ever gets less expensive I can always get them, then and give my kids a monitor upgrade for their PCs.

What do you think of the 1tb ssd for main drive and 250gb ssd for swap file? Not what I was intending but read on another forum that this was a thing. It's not what I intend to do but I am always interested in different configurations.

These were the SSD drives I wanted. So I'm ok with them. I'm just keeping the thread updated. I had a loose budget, I'm not trying to get it lower. I guess my absolute dead stop on price is 1999.99. Appreciate everyone's feedback. This has been fun. Pity I only do it once in a while. ;-)

I believe you. I also believe I am going to go for that Ti because it might be right for now, here, this build. I have never spent that much on a video card either. Of course my circumstances now have changed from what I've built over the years.

I've got a rough draft here. Based on several recommendations, feedback from you folks, and my own reading, researching, etc. Yes, there is a Ti on this list, I am going a little crazy and exploring that possibility. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LVjKVn

Last night I put in the ZU-1000B power supply. I ran the 3dmark benchmark software, ran the game RUST and watched it for about 15-20 minutes, then left it there for the night and went to bed. The machine started about 10PM last night and stayed online till I shut it down about 6:30AM the next...

I will say this, before I made the initial change the only game that was played on this PC was Minecraft. That game doesn't push the system like a benchmark program or or like the game I used to test, RUST. So I cannot say its a perfect 1 to 1 comparison before and after. I did not test the...
