Alienware M18x Laptop

[FrozenEye]

forget. There's not much point getting a really beefy system unless your monitor is at least 1080p (1920x1080).
I'll still list some parts that are beastly anyway, cause you may wish to upgrade your monitor in the future, and this will handle new games on max way into the future.

The quality on the TV actually exceeds what I thought it would be. But yeah, its all my mom could afford :)

That laptop isn't worth it, I reccommend this one instead;

Cheaper as well.

How much does this thing cost?

holy mother of god $500 for a GPU

guess you end up paying quite a bit for a quality one though, right? :c

$500 is nothing for a high end GPU setup.
My next build will have about $2000 worth of GPUs (NZ dollars though).

Thank you.

Im probably going to just have my mom buy Windows 7, because she seriously needs to upgrade.

So, instead of buying the $100 one I suggested, get this one:

From what I remember (I haven't bought a non OEM OS in a while) you can get 3 copies out of it. One for you, one for your mother, and one for me!kidding :D And you also get some free Trend Micro for your new PC :D

[Sulfate]

this topic is making me rethink the rig I want to buy

especially since the GPU I wanted is listed as "deactivated" on newegg

well, stuff. inb4sulfatemakesbuildmeacompu terthread

Argh, I did a bit of research, some people say it's possible, some people say it isn't. IDK.
