The remainding budget of $60 up to you to decide what kind of keyboards you like. For me it is advisable to spend a little more for a mechanical keyboard. Last longer and very good for gaming needs.

Looking at a min of $130 for a mechanical keyboard. Last a lifetime. So it depends on what you really what you want.

Sadly you cant as it is tied to your laptop mobo. Unless you call up Microsoft and convince them that your laptop is damaged and would like to transfer OS to desktop. Low chances of survival but worth a try.

Okay.. then have to spend abit more for OS

 

[Hailgod]

instead of telling them u want to transfer to desktop, tell them u want to get a new motherboard for your laptop. They should buy that.

Nope the master key used to activate the pre-installed Windows is different from the one on the COA sticker affixed to the laptop backside. While the master product key used on these pre-installed laptop is universal across the entire brand, the one on COA sticker is unique and can be used on other PCs. If you happen to climb that SLICk mountain, you will know what i mean...

But if i were TS, i would trek the hill to the bountiful pasture...

You are trade in the SSD for GTX 760 (about 25% faster over R9-270) and better peripheral (Cooler Master Devastator):

any idea how GTX750TI will fare on this list?

 

[Hailgod]

in between 650 ti boost and 660.
However, you can overclock the 750ti quite alot and just about match gtx 660's performance.
