That thins is literally stuff, especially for the price.

I terms of the kind of things your looking for, every laptop nowadays is about the same. Don't waste your money on a $2000 laptop like that that doesn't even include off-board graphics.

If price honestly isn't a concern for you, look into a laptop from a build site like iBuyPower or CyberPowerPC. At least then you'll be able to use it for gaming, among other things.

or ASUS. ASUS makes amazing gaming laptops.

How important is it that my ram be essentially the same as the other stick? Also, I'm having a hard time justifying getting another 4 gigs, my system starts and runs apps perfectly fine, and I can have 10-15 tabs open on chrome and it still hasn't slowed down yet. I've heard that adding another 4 gigs won't really increase my game quality... So, why should I get another 4 gigs?

This kinda got lost, although not exactly pageloss...

I, at any given time, am usually using 3-4gb of ram so I got 8gb.

My cheap 2 dollar LG speakers are playing some sort of talkshow/radio when I turn the sound to off or right near off. I've restarted my computer a few times & disabling internet. Should I give my speakers the boot and buy new ones or do I have like a virus since I did a malware bytes full scan recently and no virus's.

It's below average and expensive as forget. Get something with an i7 and a decent GPU for a third of the price.

Do they still do it when you unplug your speakers from your computer?

[SquartleTurtle]

Every time i unplug my charger from my laptop it automatically shuts down even when its fully charged.

What do you guys think about this build?  All of the parts not chosen I already have worked out.  Was thinking about the AMD FX-4130 until I saw what's on there now.

CPU AMD FX-6300
GPU Radeon HD 7790
Mobo Biostar TA 970
RAM G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133
Already have the other parts squared away.

Motherloving double pageloss.

Your ram is sold out (and for good reason too)
Don't get your hopes up for anything else faster than 1600 mhz for the same price from a well-known manufacturer. The 6300 is fine I guess, but if you're on a really tight budget (and it looks like you are) I would recommend using a 4300 instead
