Stanley
Im a newbie trying to build my first CPU!!
Please tell me if I should change any parts,
and please tell me if its enough to play today's games
Processor : Intel Core i5-3470
RAM : Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3-1600 CL9
Internal Drive : Seagate ST1000DM003
Optical Drive : LG GH24NS95
Graphics : ColaMax GeForce GT630 2GB LP
I heard rumours about Seagate not lasting and Western Digital is better?
Please tell me if its true.
Answer
Your I5-3470 is a great CPU (which I also have) and would last and would still be good for 3-5 years.
I have a 500gb Seagate HDD for 2 years now and it's still doing fine.
The problem for your build is the GT630, it is not a gaming grade card, if you wanted something that can let you play all games on high settings then getting a card not lower than an HD7770 / GTX 650 ti would be best.
GT640 (upgraded GT630) VS HD7770:

If you wanted to gain better performance from the HD7770, playing on 1600 x 900 resolution on a 20" monitor is a great move.
The HD7770 on 1600x900 resolution can play all games on high settings smoothly and can last you up to 3 years before you notice it to be already struggling in current games.
While on 1080p gaming, high-max settings, you'll be needing an HD7850 / GTX 650 ti boost.
GTX 660 / HD7870 (and higher) - max settings on 1080p

What is The Best Gaming Laptop for My Budget?
TheVollsta
I got a budget of 27000 Norwegian Kroner which is about 4594 dollars.
I need a PC that's able to play most games at least on high and maybe, but not necessarily Ultra.
I'm new to PC gaming - you know i'm the typical Console boy or whatever.. lol so i dont understand much of the pc language.
BTW, I've been looking to buy the Razer Blade Pro when it comes out, but it seems like they aren't shipping to where i live
--I give best answer--
Thank you for your time!

For your budget you could get TWO Asus or Alienware (Dell) top machines with good graphics chips. Then you could winter in Majorca or the Canaries with the rest of that budget.

If you want superior graphics, get a ViDock and put a really high end card in it, use an exterior monitor. http://pcgamerhub.com/external-video-card-for-laptop-gaming/
Better is to build your own exterior PSIe-16x slot from a $100 kit from China and a standard desktop power supply for it. http://lifehacker.com/5851902/turn-a-low+powered-laptop-into-a-gaming-machine-with-an-external-video-card-dock
