I really wouldn't build with FX since a few years ago. It runs hot and needs more cooling to run well, the "extra" cores are weak, and it'll need a higher grade motherboard to run well also. Unless you're getting an 8350 and a 990FX board together for less than $100 (you might be able to, used)...

GTX 1080 will be plenty. GTX 970/980/1060 / RX 480 are considered the baseline for VR. 1070 should allow fluid VR play 1080 should be plenty.

I'd go on the assumption that a 1050Ti would be able to reach higher settings in an exclusive few games that use more than 3GB VRAM, and that you feel the need to crank em upthat high. I'd go 1060, the added power would win me over.

Laptops are hard to upgrade, so make sure you triple check what you plan on. I'd favor the raw performance of the 1060 over the lower FPS but better settings of a 1050Ti.

I see... In your case, the 1060M probably won't be that bad, for processors look for an i5 (higher GHz the better, but you're probably gonna want a quad core for recent games) and 16 GB RAM is preferable but if you gotta, 8 GB isn't terrible.

Might I ask what your reason is for a laptop? I usually find that the best solution is a desktop, with a weaker laptop for essential work on the go. Your laptop's battery won't die as fast, and you'll have a hella powerful desktop at home, better than what a gaming laptop offers with less fuss...

I know. Maybe I should have clarified that it wasn't a viable option

Good luck buying new. You're basically forced into chromebooks or something used.

I don't know, didn't try it yet ehe. I have a sound card in my PC...

These get positive reviews and I currently use them, I love them to bits. http://pcpartpicker.com/product/Fx8Zxr/sennheiser-headphones-hd598 I swapped off these ; they weren't bad and save you a lotta money. http://pcpartpicker.com/product/zwhj4D/corsair-headphones-ca9011131na

It will be hard without going through the ceilings with one... I suggest getting a powerline connector from TP-Link or similar brands. They usually work well.

Furthermore, no crapware, you're in charge of cooling and it gets a lot better with most bought cases / fans / pump systems, and such.
