Hello guys! My name is Nejc, I am almost 15 years old and I am buying a PC, that would cost about 1000 euros. I actually still dont know if i should buy a desktop or a laptop. At the time I am thinking about buying a desktop by parts. I have been looking for some good laptops but I think they are too expensive. The parts of computer that I find them best for me are these:

processor: intel core i5 7600 Kaby Lake
RAM: Kingston Hyper X Fury 16GB (2*8GB) 2666MHz DDR4
SSD: Crucial MX300 525GB SATA3
GC: ASUS GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Phoenix 4GB GDDR5
MB: ASUS PRIME B250M-Plus LGA1151 mATX

I dont know which case would be the best and which power supply should I buy. If you have some suggestions for me please write to me. Also if you find a good laptop with a good price let me know. I want a powerful computer that will last for about four years.

(I am sorry for my bad English, as you probably already found out I am not a native speaker.)

If you are gonna be gaming, get a desktop. As far as a power supply goes, get a 500 watt from a decent brand such as corsair, Antec, Seasonic, EVGA, XFX. Also any midtower case will work, just pick one that you'll like.

Get a desktop, laptops are pretty overrated IMO. It's gonna be better and cheaper. Like John said above get any decent mid tower case you like. If you want a suggestion, look at the Corsair 200R. For the PSU, I'd go for a Seasonic S12II 520w. It's my favorite budget PSU, I had one myself too.
When it comes to the parts you've chosen, I'd go for a lower capacity SSD and add a standalone 1TB hard drive for mass storage, change out the CPU and mobo for a Ryzen 5 1600 and a budget B350 board and try to see if you can squeeze in a 3GB GTX 1060.

Thank you. I am gonna be gaming a bit, but I will mostly use it for programming and 3D engineering and such things. That is why I probably need a good processor and 16 GB of RAM. Do you think that the other components are a good choice or not? And what about the ASUS laptop? Is it a god choice or not?

Neither.

Get i5 8400
He would have to pay extra for a Z370 board.

It's not a bad laptop but the desktop option with the Ryzen 1600 is better

Looks good. Try using pcpartpicker.com to make it easier to manage prices, specs, etc.

I have now decided about everything but processor and motherboard. Could someone please explain to me why is the AMD processor better? I red the specifications and I found out that the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 has 6 cores (12 threads and 16MB cache) and a bit smaller frequency, than Intel i5 7600. This one has only 4 cores (4 threads and 6MB cache). But my friends have told me that Intel is better than AMD. Well the price is pretty much the same (Intel-240 euros,AMD-225 euros) so I really want to get the better option. Please explain which one is better (which one Will work better and last longer, use less power etc.) and why.

AMD is better as of now because of it's price per performance ratio. RYZEN 5 & 7 also features hyperthreading, a useful feature making it more universal than Intel CPU's.

Depends on whether you need a desktop or laptop. Desktops of course better. Laptops sometimes are a must not? If you travel alot. Idk.
