Any reason to even go for the 1080 Ti? What are the specs of your monitor, and what games will you be playing? A 1070 is fine for most users in many cases. But to answer your question, there's ALWAYS going to be a bottleneck in a PC system. Whether it be the R/W speeds of an SSD, the bandwidth...

Anything from Sennheiser/HifiMan/Beyerdynamic will be an excellent fit for you. Just note that if you don't own an AMP/DAC (I assume you would with all those good headphones), you will want to be careful when it comes to impedance. Sound is a very subjective thing. If possible, I'd look into...

I'd keep the A6. Quad-cores are generally a bit better for multi-tasking, not to mention the extra RAM is always a plus.

No. You would need to buy an intel-socket motherboard and likely new RAM, should you choose to go for a more modern processor.

Those are indeed intel integrated HD graphics. If you want to upgrade your GPU, you will likely need an external enclosure. Be sure that your laptop is compatible with it before you buy.

This article may be of use to you: https://www.tomsguide.com/us/pictures-story/1229-best-cheap-4k-tvs.html#s5 But yes, I'd stick with the TCL TV's.

It would appear that both of them are rated very closely to the same on rtings: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/tcl/5-series-2018-s517 and https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/nu7100. Personally, I'd just go for the TCL panel. You'll still be getting an awesome experience.

Would you be able to Start GTA V? Yes. Would you be able to play it? No. Definitely not. Those specs are WAY too old/weak to run a game as intensive as GTA V (at a reasonable frame rate.)

My apologies, I meant the G502VM. Both of them look pretty equal in build quality, it's just that the VM sacrifices RAM for a FAR better GPU, and 8GB is alright for most games. Though if you had the choice, I'd downgrade the processor on that to an i5 and upgrade to 16GB of RAM.

I'd hate to play the spoiler here, but neither of those two builds will be good for gaming. If you're looking for schoolwork, then it'd be safe to assume most of your work would be stored online? Even then, I'd actually recommend the first build over the second; stronger graphics, way more RAM...

Your laptop more than likely doesn't support bluetooth/doesn't have a bluetooth module built in.

What is your budget? I could more than likely find a better one for the price, but out of these 5, I'd say the Strix strikes the nicest balance. Though if you can afford to, I'd swap out that processor for an i5 and upgrade it to 16GB of RAM, ideally. I picked the strix because it has a strong...

Hey Guys, So I am fortunate enough to be receiving a complete audio tech upgrade for my Birthday, coming very soon. I've already gotten a list completed, and it is as follows. HD 600's...

The 3H V2 is pretty good.

Well, as with many generations its better to get the flagship version of the previous version rather than a lower-grade solution of a newer generation. Example: I'd rather have an i7 2600k than an i5 4690k. But for your needs it seems an i5 will be just fine. Also, since the newer generations...
