I'm trying to build a gaming computer, preferrably a laptop. Any tips before I start looking into stuff? I'm assuming the most expensive part is not necessarily the best but how do I tell what is?

what's your budget breh? I don't recommend gaming on a laptop. You can got much farther with a desktop PC for gaming.

Trust me from personal experience do not get a laptop, as your main computer to game on. I had a 'gaming' notebook, and the mainboard died like 2 years after i bought it. Thing is laptops just are not big enough to move all that heat from the GPU efficiently. By the time i was done gaming for the night the temperature on it was like faking 70c or something.

Of course this only applies to intense games, being run 6+hours continually. For more casual gaming good brands are MSI Asus. Anything with a Nvidia GT750m is more than enough for light gaming.

I never owned one nor have i read any reviews on it. So i can't give a recommendation for, or against it . But for from what little i have read, they are overpriced. Basically apple of the gaming laptops.

If you want something on small budget look up Sager, or Force (The new lenovo y500 are dope as fk.). If you can afford more then look for top model MSI or ASUS.
