Well, in August I'll be off to college for Aerospace Engineering. Lately, my current computer (Specs at bottom) has been slowly starting to die out, and I may just build a new system (new mobo, cpu, maybe ram, ect) and just get a college laptop around $700. But, my other option, is I can get a good gaming laptop (preferably under $1,500) that'll hopefully me last year 4 years in college, and maybe 4 years of gaming. I'm not looking to play everything on ultra, but rather mostly on high/medium settings, and by the end of the 4 years, I could tolerate low settings if possible.
So, long story short, do I spend my money on a gaming laptop that'll last me 4 years through college, or build a new rig and get a decent laptop for college?
CURRENT SYSTEM SPECS:
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0
GRAPHICS CARD :Sapphire AMD R9 280X (3 GB GDDR5)
CPU: AMD FX6350 3.9 GHZ 6 CORES
EDIT: This laptop is a bit above my price range, and it doesn't have a touchscreen and I'm not sure if I'll need one or not for college, but it looks good.
