Ethan, what alternative do you have to the lenovo you suggested me?
This is in case if it's not in stock when i buy the new laptop.

This is the alternative i'm thinking about: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230095

Your budget is exactly $700 right?
Can't go just a little over?

Ethan, could you recommend me a good intel board on which I can upgrade my Sandy Bridge to an Ivy Bridge later. Also PCI-E 3?

Total is $310 without the rebates (little over, if this isn't ok, tell me)
Total is $265 with rebates though.

That's $476. I feel like I'm being ripped off, and it's way over my budget. :/

EDIT:
What do you think about http://datorfixarna.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=841_22_318_566&products_id=31039 ?

I've decided to contact the people I'm ordering my computer from and switch from a P67 to a Z68 board.

Ok since you told me to lock my topic and ask here, I will.

I need a list of microprocessors compatable with Socket LGA 775 in performance from greatest to least.

Is it possible to get a transparent version of that image?

Also, you might want to add that the free Windows Server downloads are only available for eligible students.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot. You need a valid .edu email address for it or be enrolled at a participating high school.

Edit:
sorry, didn't read early post. Can you be sure it works with Ubuntu?

Here in Sweden you can also verify with your Mecenat-card if you are a university student.
Also the fact of that WinServ doesn't even come with DirectX or any sound-card drivers so for most people on here it would probably be completely irrelevant.
