Need help building a GT70 from barebone

I'm somewhat a newbie in these specific things so bear with me.
Anyway, im planning to build a MSI GT70 with GTX 780m (the only reason why i consider barebone) but i need some recommendations and advices in the parts.
I dont need any ssd or hhd since ihv already had them (+ 1 mSata). I wont need any ram. of course im looking for the cheapest price.
so....
1) will i7 4700MQ enough for a GTX 780m?
2) whats the differences should i consider between a barebone and a pre built for GT70?
i have more questions but i need to know these two first.
Thanks!

 

1) Yes, it will not bottleneck it. If you intend to do gaming, a 4800MQ or 4900MQ may give you a small bump in FPS over the 4700MQ

2) Your best feedback on this would probably be from previous barebones builders and especially barebones resellers. I don't think there are any critical differences as far as quality and performance is concerned (but then again, we don't deal with barebones MSI units).

 

Hello! Since you already have SSDs/RAM etc sure a barebone is a good option

1) 4700MQ is enough for a GTX780m yes you can slightly overclock it with intel XTU software and increase it's clockspeed to its max multiplier. 4800MQ will give extra performance on the games that are extreme CPU heavy, but I do think you will be more than fine with a 4700MQ, considering you are looking at an affordable machine.

2) The main differences, aside from colors or even some aesthetic design decisions, are the warranties and support. Branded MSI models tend to receive support first, while barebones depend more on users to ask MSI for particular updates to be pushed to release. Warranties for Barebones are only 1 year too, compared to the 2 Year warranty plus first year accidental etc.

Just make sure the barebone you choose has the specs/Slots you want, for your msata or regular 2.5 ssd etc

 

Thanks for all the tips ! those helped
I'm planning to build on from gentechpc
Also "Just make sure the barebone you choose has the specs/Slots you want, for your msata or regular 2.5 ssd etc"
how do i check this ?

 

CozR, both versions are available.
If you choose SATA version (Standard), then you can do 2x 2.5" HDD/SSD configuration.
If you choose mSATA version (Upgrade), then you can get 3x mSATA SSD in RAID 0 + 1x 2.5" HDD/SSD configuration.

 

thanks! i guess thats all i need to know for now.
1 more thing, ii notice (on gentech website) the GT60 looks kinda different from the GT70. but on msi those two look the same (beside the size)?

 

Yes, they are pretty much the same except the screen size.

 

They are the same, there can be minor bios differences but the PCB is the same.
