well duh, you can't reconfigure it and then paste old files expecting it to work the same way

afaik you're screwed. why did you take the files off the drive in the first place?

I need a laptop. These are the things I want in it:

15+ inch screen
250GB+ HDD *or* any size SSD
i3 or more powerful CPU
strong battery life
at least 720p resolution
4GB+ RAM
has to be $500-600 CAD (before or after taxes)
has to have Windows 7 (don't want 8, just a personal thing)

I don't want a Dell or HP. I don't need it to play any games.
I've tried searching Newegg but I'm not familiar enough with laptops to know what to buy.

It will be for programming. I need to know what will be great value for my money.

Thanks for your suggestions guys. I have edited a few things, so here is my new list.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mvmY

Also, to note, I have a copy of Windows 7 Professional OEM with me, so I don't see buying an operating system is necessary.

Just being safe, I don't want to goof things up in terms of compatibility with programs. It'd probably be a good idea too because I might not like Windows 8 either.

while that power supply is rated better, it outputs less power than your last one. keep that in mind.

I suggest adding an SSD, too. you saved $250 on monitors and could afford to spend a hundred or so on an SSD now.

And here is one question to throw out there; why can't I run Battlefield 3 when my system exceeds the system requirements, and comes close to the recommended? Do I need to update my graphics drivers? I get anywhere around 10 - 30 FPS when playing.

it's possible you need to update drivers - it's also possible your GPU is just weak, or bottlenecked. if you don't quite meet recommended, don't expect miracles.

even if we did get TB to look at blockland, the video would go something like this

1) notices how the options menu is extremely dated
2) complains about shadow quality/performance issues with his 680
3) mentions how there's no set goal and notes it's hard to look at sandbox games
4) he'll say the price is too steep
5) he'll mention modability (read: add-ons) briefly but mostly blow it off

People saying this sort of stuff is going to cause game companies to try to shut down let's plays.

they already are trying to do that.

they should take the effort and put it into making games that aren't the same stuff every year.

not really because I can just watch a let's play on YouTube for the story and the gameplay is exactly the same every year with a new feature that no one is really sure they like'

this is starting to sound a lot like that .. other .. shooter game ..

So, I am planning on purchasing a custom PC, and I have come up with a list of parts.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mpSB

Just wanted to know if this list is pretty good, since I am fairly unexperienced with PC parts.

It'd be nice to hear some recommendations. I'd also like to note I have a fair budget. I am going to sell my Mac for around $700 - $1000, plus I have some money with me.

personally I wouldn't spend $2000(1500 if you don't count monitors) on a computer with no SSD in it (even though I did, which is why I would never again)

also you might want to spend just a little more money on a power supply (but you did pick a modular one which is good)

ditch the soundcard if you don't have very good headphones. unless you have a very good reason for needing a soundcard, you don't need a soundcard.

you can also downgrade to W7 Home instead of Professional - most people don't ever use the extra features and you save a bit of money.
