I need me an Ultralight laptop. Any suggestions?
I'm currently looking at the Razer Blade, Macbook (both the pro 13" and the non pro version....), Surfacebook 2, and Yoga 920. None of them are jumping out at me though. Budget of $1750

Just go with the MacBook Pro with Touch Bar.
At the very least it will retain its value best out of all of those when you decide you didn't need an ultralight laptop in the first place in March
No I haven't yet, but will now. Thanks
Does this build look good?

I would go with 16gb or ram, and at least get the 1070ti if not the 1080ti.
everything else looks good to me.
thats 212 hyper cooler is a bytch to install, just a heads up.
I think that's a pretty good high-end mid range build similar to what I have but with a R5 1600 and b350. I would get 16gb ram though. My system hovers around 8GB out of 16 on normal usage.
Whats a better alternative for the cooler?
Go with the Cryorig H7. It is superior in every way and also much easier to install for first time builders.

If you wont be overclocking, go with a i7-7700. You chose a board that doesn't allow overclocking. Also the upgrade path is dead since intel 8th gen dropped . A better choice would be an i-5 8600k with z370 board. Is faster with 6 real cores in most games and slightly cheaper. Was 250 on newegg recently.
hmm interdasting
