very nice, that seems like a very low price for a laptop with that good of parts.  I myself would never buy a gaming laptop again, as i already made that mistake once.  More power to you though, if you need a portable powerhouse!

Well I'd only be using it for Outlook, web surfing, server monitoring, etc.  Occasionally I would go out of town and take it with me and then I might game...I just figure if you put the best parts in it now, the laptop will handle anything I throw at it for the next 10 years...aside from gaming but once again this isn't a gaming notebook primarily.  Back when I decided I needed a new notebook a year or so ago I set some minimal specs that it had to live up to for a decent price.  It had to have quad core CPU, DDR3 4GB+, SSD drives, blu-ray, dedicated graphics card that was halfway decent, nice screen, gigabit NIC, wireless with N tech, bluetooth, Windows 7 x64.  I think that's about it!

you should build a micro-atx setup! a little more fun and choices maybe?

But that's not a laptop, that's a desktop, I already have (3) of those!  I need another laptop!
