Hey all I was thinking of buying a pretty powerful laptop but for the price I'd like to see what my options are for a home pc. I'm also intrigued of building it too, I started piecing one together i want it to be pretty powerful but since I have no intent to game on it I don't want to drop tons of money on a machine that wont be utilized. Hope that makes sense. Thanks
