The cheapest Dell Inspiron 7559 is the one with i5 6300HQ + GTX960M + 8GB RAM?

If yes then the desktop equivalent specs would be i5 6400 + GTX750Ti + 8GB RAM which can be built around 2k, monitor not included yet, please prepare some money for it, same goes to keyboard/mouse/speaker.
What games you play?

not so choosy of games,but i expect any latest games can run on medium setting.

Alright, 1k budget cannot do much, it's either CPU or GPU upgrade.

But I would go for GPU upgrade instead (GPU > all in gaming), RX470 4GB/GTX1060 3GB is below 1k now, when you have more funds later, upgrade the CPU to at least i5 when bottleneck starts to show up.

thanks! will go for that option
