What is your budget?
Is this for home use? Because a desktop PC will get you far better value and performance in VR compared to a laptop which will generally cost quite a bit more.

Thanks for replying in a month or two I'm moving to Japan I can't carry a pc from the US to Japan shipping will be a killer I can pay around 1250 for the laptop can it run 4k quality games 60fps ofc

You can get a mini ITX PC and bring it on the plane with you, they can be very slim in form factor, as small as a wireless modem.
Would you like me to put together a PC list for you if you're interested?
$1250 won't get you anywhere near 4k gaming with a laptop, with a desktop however I could squeeze in a 1080 which will give you great 4k performance.

No sorry one 1060 will NOT get very good 4k performance 14 fps on ultra maybe. But as Chugalug said a mini ITX PC with a 1080 should do decent in 4k.

Hey guys omg thanks and yes please do and if its build already amazing I don't know how to put it together or have placed around me to do it for cheap thanks alot guys

the 1080 is a good chip but only capable still ofp playing most games in 4k at low to medium we still dont have cards capable of true 4k gaming.

Here you go, goes $20 over what you suggested in terms of price, but features on board wifi, a 120GB SSD and a good cooler.

Incorrect, look up GTX 1080 4k benchmarks and it hits around a solid 60fps at very high/ultra settings with 2x MSAA in the majority of AAA titles.

2 problems, unreliable cpu cooler, crappy ssd, I would get a hyper 212 its overkill but is far better and more reliable. And I would advise OP to spend more and get a 256gb ssd as a 120 isnt going to offer much space once windows is installed.

Talon, you really need to do your research, i'm sorry but you're wrong on all accounts there....
The Shadow Rock LP is a very good cooler even for k CPUs, and this is a NON-K!
It actually performs better than the 212 Evo, which doesn't fit anyway due to heavy height clearance issues.
A 120GB SSD is all that's going to fit within budget, and it is more than enough for the OS, it'll leave about 20GB for software over time, even then software can just be put on the HDD.
The Trion 150 is not a crappy SSD, it is one of the best value SSDs out there, being better than SSDs such as the Sandisk SSD PLUS, and the A Data SP550 Premier.

It's another 25 bucks to get the 240GB variant on the SSD OP, it's up to you whether you're willing to spend that .T
If you can put together a better build i'd love to hear it Talon.

Trion SSD are known to be incredibly garbage, high failure rate, poor reviews and to top it all off, they have less read and write than whats advertised by a lot. They are effectively the crappy toshiba hard drives of the SSD world.

T.T Ask any other person on this forum what they think of the Trion 150, or look at any other build with a medium budget, the Trion 100 series is what you're thinking of, the 150 is a good drive....
