Kind of an upgrading question. Looking at affordable semi portable gaming laptops. Came across this asus i5 960m for 879 down from 1100. Asus GL551VW-DS51 w/ Core i5-6300HQ, 8GB, 1TB, GTX 960M, Windows 10, 64 bit at Memory Express
Just for use while I'm out of town for regular internet use and some gaming.
Opinions please if anyone has one.

Any recommendations for a good gaming monitor for under $400?
The PC my dad ended up building came with the 8GB 1070 and I'd assume can do 4K so is it worth getting a 4K monitor yet?

Just a regular protector and not an APC? I don't think I've ever had one die on me at home. I suppose without anything monitoring voltage/current coming in there's no real way to tell. APCs will alarm if they need replacing.

Regular protector also need to be replaced regularly.. the fuse fails without you knowing. If you really want protection install a proper one on your fuse panel. Quote:

i am not good with AMD
but... GTX 970 $250, cpu probably 150 or less, mobo (i would not buy it for more than $100 used) probably $75, ram is like $50
maybe $500? it is AMD afterall and the benchmarks prove it gets crushed by everything..
edit: UserBenchmark: AMD FX-8350 vs Intel Core i5-4590
crushed by old generation i5..... makes me think the system is worth $400-450 now.... not very good gaming CPU wow...

Where's a good place to get a mobo for a socket that's no longer being produced? I'm having a heck of a time finding a cheap 1155 (new or used).

^i bought one off ebay recently. I have some dell motherboards for that socket, but i found out they only run certain processors. Let me know what processor you have and i can see if i got any leftover dell motherboards you can use.

Noob question here. Pondering on the idea of changing out my fans. It's a really old case (Thermaltake tsunami dream va3000bwa) and according to a website, there's 2x 120mm fan and 1x 90mm fan.
What exactly am I supposed to look for in determining which is a good fan and which isn't?

I usually just buy a fan that matches the size and look that I want.
I like be quiet, Corsair, and Fractal Design fans.

for example, would that be a good one? my understanding is, I would want high cfm?
