I found a list of PC parts that my dad actually filled it out for me to check it out that would be really amazing things to look out for, but would this handle gaming system? Would this Gaming PC even better than this laptop? This includes the cost of PC parts to buy. DO you think this Gaming PC would even run better games? @OldMan27

Dang, I was about to say it seems decent, but a GTX 1070?! Holy crap! Your dad doesn't kid around with hardware.

I'd think the SSD and HDD will be fast enough as they are. As far as the CPU goes, 3.4GHz is a pretty solid range to run the games of today. If you want to run on maximum settings at 60FPS in anything above 1080p for something like The Division or something on-par with Project Cars, though, I'd opt for a higher tier i7, either something with overclocking or closer to the 4.0GHz range. But as for playing what there is right now, this PC will handle it just fine. Might buff the PSU to 600W range to cope with the GTX 1070, but other than that it looks solid.

And yes, it way outnumbers the specs of your laptop. To put it simply, it's like going from a PS2 to a PS4. It's that big of a jump.
 
i'd recommend upgrading your RAM if you're looking for some improvements graphics wise, 8GB wont serve you really well and you're gonna have to get through some optimizing
believe me, i tried .-.

That GTX 1070 has 8GB VRAM. He already has 16GB RAM listed in there. VRAM is different than actual RAM, so 8GB is kind of overkill to me, but it's just the right amount of overkill. If you want insanity then get a Titan Z 12GB VRAM, even though it practically costs as much as a bar of gold. :tongueout:
