I'm pretty sure a card that costs 40 euros would not be able to play JC2. I don't know about payday, though.

Better parts, lower price. The only difference performance wise is that the envy has 3 more hours of battery lfie (and it looks better)

Thanks, this actually just steered me away from the AMD 7850.

God I hate laptops. :C

Harddrive came in earlier today. Now I just need to wait for the other parts and I can build my first PC!

Any tips or anything after I build it and install the OS? When I was looking for a motherboard some reviews mentioned that there was something wrong and you needed to update the BIOS or something. Now that isn't the Mobo I got, but I'm going to assume the first thing I should do is update all my drivers and everything?

You know about touching the case every so often to get rid of static, right?

the main thing you should do after installing the OS: install drivers.

How difficult would you guys say it would be to modify the GPU, Hard Drive, RAM, and processor in a laptop?

very hard is the least common.

Yeah. Right now it's summertime and the air isn't very dry as the winter, haven't had a lot of static electricty. My floor is hard-wood so that shouldn't be a problem. Regardless I'm going to touch the case just to be sure.

I was looking around on craigslist and I noticed two things. First I could build decent computers and sell them for huge markups. Secondly I could offer computer repair service for a lot of money. The cheapest I've seen is like 40 dollars an hour and normally it would take a few minutes to fix everything up
