Tell me one notebook that can compete with the build quality and the touchpad of a macbook pro.

Currently worthwhile CPUs:
>G4560 for budget builds (<$500) unless G4620/i3-7100 is heavily discounted
>i3 are only worthwhile for dwarf fortress & single-purpose emulator boxes
>i5 aren't worthwhile. Get Ryzen 5, drop down to G4560, or up to R7/i7
>R5 1400 is not worthwhile unless discounted
>i7-7700k is good but bad value. If over budget, an R5 is probably as good or better for you
>R7/Xeon for compute/multitask/mixed use
Currently worthwhile GFX cards:
>RX570, RX480(if cheap & not blower), RX580, 1080, 1080TI
>RX570 is usually all you need for 1080p@60hz
>RX550 & RX560 are worth considering if you just need 6 monitor support for cheap and/or play low end shit
>1060 & 1070 are worth considering if you already have a Gsync monitor. 1050Ti is for mITX builds or if on sale at ~$100
>Nvidia GPU + Ryzen has issues in many games atm
>Budget builds: consider integrated graphics over a card weaker than RX560
>May for Vega
General:
>No brand/model loyalty. Parametric filters on pcpartpicker can help
>Consider larger SSD-only for what you budget SSD+HDD combined. Add HDD later once needed
>NVMe aren't for faster OS boot. They're primarily for productivity as a scratch disk
>mATX can often save cost as the board+case is usually cheaper
>1 DIMM is significantly slower than 2 DIMMs

How's this build?

Willing to pay more. Looking at $2500-$3000 as long as that includes a great Gsync IPS monitor since I'll be staring at it for like 14 hours a day

Looks good, but the nvme ssd looks overkill. Do you really need the additional speed it provides over a regular SSD? NVMe ssd are more for content creators that want the highest speed possible access to their medias, for gamers there is really 0 difference, and a regular SSD cost much less
Also, for 165hz, a 7700k is the only CPU that would be able to hit this framerate, so consider getting it instead of a Ryzen. But if you're fine with 120 ~ 140ish FPS, then no need to.
Why /pcbg/ shilling Ryzen so hard? In most tests I saw so far both 7700 non-K and 7600K were better than Ryzen 1600.

There's been a huge upswing in disinformation in these threads, and in the community in general. At the end of the day, YOU are the one who loses if you take bad advice.

should I get the 1600 or 1600x, I'll be overclocking as much as I can, mind

why is microsoft trying to push this black taskbar meme when their color of choice throughout the years has been blue?
>native windows apps - trashy dark mode
>project neon - trashy dark mode
>default windows taskbar is black
what did microsoft mean by this?
>>60128454
>dark mode
>has to be black
why not deep blue or something more pleasing to the eye
i will tell you what microsoft meant by it
>we don't care for the customer because the customer doesn't care for a visually pleasing asthetic and thus we can lower the cost of implementing a dark mode to 0.50 $
>>60128454
I don't see an issue with the dark taskbar.
What I do have an issue with is that they are listening to a bunch of whiny children who want shitty blur and transparency back.
I wish the feedback app thing had downvotes.
Even normies hate Windows now. Microsoft knows the only people who still defend them are gaymers, so they have to appeal to gaymers by giving edgelord dark mode shit

if you aren't capable of getting proper cooling inside your case then you can sell your little gayming build and buy a mac

Sour Grapes
an Aesop Fable
A very hungry fox walked into a vineyard where there was an ample supply of luscious looking grapes. Grapes had never looked so good, and the fox was famished. However, the grapes hung higher than the fox could reach. He jumped and stretched and hopped and reached and jumped some more trying to get those yummy grapes, but to no avail. No matter what he tried, he could not reach the grapes. He wore himself out jumping and jumping to get the grapes.
"Those grapes surely must be sour," he said as he walked away, "I wouldn't eat them if they were served to me on a silver platter."
