Building Computer- Ideas?

iva had many intel laptops and all of them are now in a scrap head somewhere beacause they burnt out

Laptops = Garbage Cooling Systems, I've had Intel and AMD laptops and they've all reach above 60°C.

Get off the fanbase war.
AMD is the better bang for the buck obviously, because no one generally needs an expensive high-tier Intel unless you're considerably wealthy and want absolute top dog. They win at value, because most people can deal with waiting a few more seconds on processing then spending an extra hundred for an Intel.

Intel has won at every core processing and threading towards direct head-on to AMD, and has a larger memory cache. AMD however provides excellent enthusiast options for a wallet-happy price. Intel was intended for absolute top-end market, hence the top-end price (Muthafucking OP $1000) and the fact Phenom II was only geared towards Core Duo and not the i7 series.

AMD: Value
Intel: Quality

End of story.



All the modern graphics are "HD," even the Low-Profile Ones.
And Dual Monitors isn't necessary, it's very handy, but I think you deal with ALT-Tab since generally your "2nd Screen," is a course book.







Also, Sweet you planning to a bring a laptop? Because that's more preferable as it's more serious for Schoolwork.
