You can always upgrade it to 16GB for quite cheap, however, I don't really see a need for that much presently unless tou do some really heavy movie/pocture editing. Make sure you're getting the sli though, that will REALLY affect the fps.

So... did I answer all your questions?

Ok; first things first. The hard drive affects both gaming performance and startup/load times for programs in general. The y510p features the standard 5400rpm which is quite slow in accessing files saved on it. Faster drives like 7200rpm drives, or even better, SSD's offer much higher access...

I'm not quite sure what lenovo site you are looking at... I found a matte 1080p screen version with all the upgrades for $1,200 USD on their website http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/ideapad/y-series/y510p/ (the model on the far right). The offer I'm waiting for though, which I think is a...

Well I researched a bit and have found some pretty awesome (but heavy) laptops: First off is the 17" MSI with a GTX 780M: http://www.amazon.com/MSI-GT70-2OD-039US-17-3-Inch-Laptop/dp/B00CU9GNA0/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1376844012&sr=1-1&keywords=msi+gt70+dragon+edition+2 Then I...

You can find the N550jv model you are looking for (the DB71) on excaliber pc: http://www.excaliberpc.com/626437/asus-n550jv-db71-15.6-laptop.html or on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=161064779133&item=161064779133&lgeo=1&vectorid=229466 You could also customize it...

How portable do you need this laptop to be? A $3000 dollar budget will get you a wide variety but if you want a top performance machine, you should expect it to break your back when you lift it up.
