That's the basics for $870, minus a graphics card (buy used) and a case which is personal preference for the most part.

If you're not gaming on it you can definitely save a LOT of money:
1) That graphics card is overkill, plus RTX (real time raytracing) will be irrelevant.
2) There would be an argument for Intel CPUs when it comes to gaming, but AMD mops the floor with them when it comes to productivity

This laptop has one of the best CPUs (4800H) for productivity of the previous generation:

It's like 40-50% faster than the Intel CPU in the laptop you listed (10750H) in things like encoding, code compilation.
So you'll get better performance (unless you're doing graphic design or something as well?) and save a lot of money. Hope that helps!

Stop fear-mongering and being hysterical over a virus that kills 0.2% of people infected. And the vast majority of them are fat or old folk.
And the reason we have such a low death % is because we're queranteeing and following health experts guidelines.
I don't understand how you can be this dense.

"Among those who develop symptoms, most (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing hospital treatment. About 15% become seriously ill and require oxygen and 5% become critically ill and need intensive care." - WHO


More people would die not only because of covid but probably also due to other diseases since healthcare providers probably wouldn't be able to provide adequate care.
Exercise, eat well, and stop being a fatass so you won't have to worry about the virus. You guys are so reliant on these nameless "experts" its hysterical. If the experts came out with a study that said drinking gallons of mercury was good for you I bet you'd start chugging
Jeez, I can't imagine being such a bozo that you'd listen to people who's job it is to literally analyze research and create guidelines based off of that.
On a completely unrelated note, who told you that exercising, eating well and not being a fatass will help against the virus? Hope it wasn't some cuck of an "Expert"

Films: LOTR > Hobbit

Books: Hobbit > LOTR (although tbh my memory of them is fuzzy at this point)

scamdemic that's all it is. Hit the gym, get jacked and tanned, supplement with Vit D and zinc and you'll be fine. 99.98%
Damn, should have told all those old people to get tanned, I knew we forgot something. Instead of building ventilators we should have been building tanning beds, if only I could turn back time to change the course of history!

A set of brand new laptops is being released using new AMD processors which are much more efficient for the same performance.

As Blitz asked, what budget are you looking at? What kind of games did you have in mind? Will you use it on the go/do you need good battery life?

I'm going to be honest with you. You know if you can talk your breathing because breath going through is how we talk. He was being choked but because he was talking that means at the moment he still breathing.
I'll just briefly mention that you're completely and utterly wrong in that regard. There's a huge difference between inhalation (generating a small amount of negative pressure to suck air into your lungs) and speaking (creating positive pressure and forcing air out). It's the same reason that an Iron Lung is (technically) a much better way of ventilating patients than intubation, at least from the perspective of your lungs. Huge inconvenience for everything else though.

I was only planning on using them at my home PC, both gaming and music, not for listening to music out and about, so I wasn't worried about sound bleeding out, and I don't really need noise canceling, certainly wouldn't pay extra for it.
With that in mind, and in terms of comfort and sound quality/stage I figured that open backed would be preferable to closed for me.

At the moment £200 is the upper limit of what I'm willing to budget as it'll still be a massive improvement over my current headset, although would prefer to spend less obviously.

I've heard recommendations about getting a DAC/Amp for good headphones but would sort of prefer not to shell out more money if it doesn't really make much difference. Any thoughts on that front?

Anyone know much about headphones? My current cheap logitech one is falling apart and I'm looking for something decent, although I'm certainly not an audiophile.

Currently looking at a Sennheiser 560S, or possibly a 599 if it comes down in price.

The cheaper brands absolutely still do. Not to say that there aren't good monitors at entry level pricing, but there's still significant difference between monitors at the same price point with similar specs.

Not really about a PC build specifically but anyone got any recommendation on 240hz monitors. I want to upgrade sometime in the next week or two but don't want to spend more than maybe £250-400. Both my current monitors are hella old.
I'm not a monitor buff, but just be aware that you need to be a bit careful buying monitors, as lots of companies will put (for example) 240 Hz which in reality is only achievable using an overdrive mode (think like RAM XMP overclocking but on a monitor) which is genuinely bad and gives massive overshoot, seen as visual artefacts like ghosting. I'm not saying this will necessarily happen, but a good monitor with a "lower" refresh rate can give you a far better experience than a cheap monitor with a "higher" refresh rate.
I'd recommend Hardware Unboxed on Youtube, they have some great monitor reviews and are pretty unbiased.

There are two separate issues here Skaenn.
One is the notion that the nations of the world, including international scientific and medical fields want to keep people locked inside, causing trillions of dollars of economic damage, somehow manufacturing both a plausible threat and killing off vast numbers of people through a mechanism which spreads much like a virus. If you believe that you're more paranoid than many psychiatric patients I see on the regular.

If you believe that rich people and those in power are profiteering off of an international catastrophe and are allowing people to die on vast scales for financial and political profit then I think you're pretty sensible.

Hekko's 15e or the old 1er

15e > Nr24

Achilles’ 13e and 51st
13e would have been good shit. Played once or twice with them but I think I was 51st at that point.

Deathstar's/Sophie's reg would have been good, I think it was the 27th or 29th? Before they joined the 51st and went inactive.

I almost joined the 5th KGL which would have been different.

2021 is off to a great start. Coup on day 6! The writers really managed to up the stakes, I really thought they couldn't match last season!

what are your opinios about the 5700xt?
I would get the 2070 Super. It's a little more money but I think it'll be a better investment.

Here are some benchmarks

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-2070S-Super-vs-AMD-RX-5700-XT/4048vs4045
Userbenchmark isn't great for hardware comparisons. I'd recommend looking at actual standardised gaming benchmarks, HardwareUnboxed or GamersNexus are great examples.
