The Escapist Forums

Got regularized at my first job, so I can finally fulfill 14 year old me's fantasy of having a gaming laptop. Not that I couldn't afford it before, but getting a bonus definitely greased the wheels of my decision making. I've already finished most of my build, but I'm a little conflicted on the GPU.

Here's my build:

CPU FanDEEPCOOL AK400 AIR COOLER R-AK400-BKNNMN-G-1

I'm looking at the following GPUS:
GPUPrice
Gigabyte Radeon RX 6600 Eagle$262
Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 6600$297
MSI Mech Radeon RX 6600 XT OC V1$331

I'm leaning towards the Gigabyte RX 6600 cuz I am a cheapskate. As far as I can tell the only real advantage of the Sapphire is that it's much smaller and has more updated output ports. And the 6600 XT... eh, it seemed cheaper than I was expected so I just put it in there. What do you all think?

I'd also appreciate any input on the build overall. My budget for now is right about at $1000, without an OS.

(BTW, if you want to suggest alternative parts, go right ahead, but don't waste your time hunting down very specific deals, we most definitely do not live in the same country and international shipping is logistical hell)
