Thats true im just not sure the mobo supports it cuz i opted for the spinning drive over ssd cuz im cheap...

I don't know much about laptop HDD, but it's always been WD or HGST for HDD, and Samsung for SSDs in my book

First, since you got a 4790k, you better get liquid cooling.

This is a good guide, once you get the right cooler: The Intel Devil's Canyon Owners Club

With an H90 I got to 4.6ghz safely. If you get an H100 or H80i you might even be able to get to 4.7.

I thought my H90 would be better than my H80i on my old rig, but I was wrong. The H100 seems to be the standard though.

Just don't go above 85c (though apparently you can go up to 90c on the 4790k)

Thanks, breh. Luckily with Dell monitors you get a 3 year, no dead pixel warranty. I already exchanged 2 on my 1440p's because of dead pixels. Dell has good customer support. They even send you the monitor before you send the old one back. Dell has some of the best customer service in the industry. Kinda makes me wanna buy an Alienware computer, but I know better.

I just did a little research, and it gets good user reviews. I prefer ASUS mobos, but this one doesn't look too bad. No chance for SLI though (which would be a deal breaker for me, but SLI sucks anyways nowadays, so maybe it doesn't matter )

I saw that it had no SLI support but I think one 1070 will hold me down good for a while. Just waiting on those benchmarks.
EDIT: was just checking other motherboards I would be saving probably 30-50 tops with that bundle. Ill probably go ahead and just splurge on a mobo that has everything I want. Im already saving big on the gpu

How old is your laptop?

I wanna say roughly two years old bought directly from IBM. I wonder if the warranty is still valid?
