    Ok, here's my specs

    Potato CPU: I7-5500u intel.
    Great GPU: Asus Rog Strix 1060 wind force 6GB GDDR5 SDRAM (Oc)
    Great RAM: 16 GB (Built-in)
    Good monitor: Dell u2414H (Oc to 74 mhz)

    I can play Beamng great at around 80 - 110 Fps on WCUSA with quite a lot of cars.
    If you're wondering how. I just linked my 1060 to PhysX since my CPU isn't the best.

    I'm just curious that how the fuck you can install a GTX 1060 in a laptop, without Thunderbolt 3 or removing the WiFi slot?

    He can't. He posted a desktop GPU too, so it would also need an external power source as a 1060 can draw as much power as the whole laptop combined probably could. The U series is also more suited for tablets than laptops... so that means the post makes even less sense.

    It came with it then. Gaming laptops usually come with a 1050 Ti, 1060, 1070 or 1080.

    But then as far as I know there is no Alienware laptop with an i7-5500U
    OK, I just found that the older versions of the Alienware 13 had a i7-5500U in it. Thanks for the clarification.

    That's awful. The U series is good for tablet usage, but definitely not for a laptop targeted at PC gaming. At least the CPU might not overheat though... unless Alienware decided to really cheap out on the cooling.

    Later versions of the AW 13 does use Intel Core H-series CPUs rather than U-series ones, but then a 13-inch gaming laptop + H-series CPUs isn't a good idea at all...

    It could work if undervolting (potentially in addition to minor underclocking for stability) were done to the CPU. In many cases, you can get massive performance per watt gains by doing that. Smartphone OEMs often do that for that very reason. The CPUs of course have automatic underclocking on them anyways but its never as good as a properly manually-tuned underclock.

    I have got a "wonderful" collection of computers...
    One I am using currently as of writing this post:
    2015 Dell Latitude E 5440 14"
    4th gen Intel i3 4030U dual core @1.90 Ghz
    Seagate Firecuda 1TB SSHD (hybrid drive)
    Intel HD Graphics 4400 2Gb
    12Gb DDR3 1600Mhz SODIMM RAM
    Windows 10 Professional
    Ubuntu 18.04 (as backup on 16Gb flash drive)

    Next, I've got an ancient heat freak.

    2005 Dell Optiplex GX 620
    Intel Pentium 4 @ 3.20 Ghz quad core(over 120 watts, maybe 200, can't recall)
    160Gb WD Black Hard Drive
    AMD Radeon GPU, can't recall model, it had no fans
    3Gb DDR3 RAM (I think)
    305 Watt Dell PSU
    Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3
    Ubuntu 14.xx (don't recall) (as backup on main hard drive)

    I can't use this machine currently because it has no PSU because my cousin's
    Optiplex GX 700 series PSU almost caught fire; so I had to replace mine into his.
    I may get a new PSU off of Ebay eventually. This computer could heat up a 16x16ft room easily...

    2010 Dell Precision M4500
    3rd gen Intel i7 840Q @ 2.2Ghz turbo
    500Gb Hard drive
    Nvidia Geforce Mx850 1Gb (I think)
    Windows 10 Professional

    This one is a heat freak as well. It burns your lap.

    That CPU is a single-core, not quad. The RAM in that is DDR2, not DDR3. The Pentium 4s did put out plenty of heat, but they were no worse than my i7 4790k in that regard (there's a reason I use a liquid cooler on this CPU).

    I currently have a custom desktop with a ryzen 3 and a 1050 ti, I built it during one of the worst times to build a pc so it came out to around $550 without windows. I also have an HP 11 g5 chromebook my brother hit with a shirt and killed the screen so now the display is toast. and i just bought a lenovo ideapad 330 to replace the chromebook.

    My very first pc was some sort or Intel Pentium or Celeron single core, an Asrock 775 board (dunno which one) and 1 or 1.5 GB DDR2 800 memory.
    After that thing my dad put in an old Core2Duo E6600 and some sort of GeForce 7 graphics card from Zotac.

    A bit later I bought my legendary Winfast GTX 260 Extreme + for around 50€ off Ebay. Best GPU I ever had.

    Another year or 2 later my dad bought me a new motherboard, cpu and some more memory.. This time a AMD FX system with an AsRock 970 Extreme4, FX4130 CPU and 2x4GB DDR3 Crucial Ballistix Sport (The shiny blue ones).

    Roughtly one year later my GPU got an upgrade in form of my still in use MSI GTX 960 Gaming 4G.

    Since then I only got another new Board, CPU and more RAM .. This time an i7 4770k, ASUS Z97-AR Board and 2x8GB Corsair Vengance Silver DDR3 2133Mhz, which is my current rig.

    ----------------

    I also got an old "Retro pc" standing around hosting an old Asus AMD Board, an Athlon 64 x2 Dual core, 4GB of DDR2 800 memory and a Winfast 8800GTX.

    It´s built and ready to go, just never tested if it actually works because I have no HDD flying around x)
