Building first gaming laptop.

[Gabriel Mocan]

Hello everyone, i'm building my first gaming laptop and i'm wishing to spend about ~ $ 1600 on it.
I've choosen ProStar as seller, and made a configuration after lots of research. I hope to know if it is the best option at this price ($ 1604 dollars for this specs).

Your best option would be to get a i7 4710MQ and get a GTX 880M.

And for the hard drives get a cheaper 120GB MSATA SSD then a WD or Seagate 1TB 7200rpm HDD.

The GTX 880M adds $ 300 while the Processor upgrade it's just $ 35. I guess i'll have to stick with the 870M. It's worth to pay $ 160 for the hyper x ddr3 2x8gb pair? it's $ 70 more expensive than the generic 2x8gb pair.

oh I didn't know the GTX 880M was that expensive, just stay with the 4810QM then.

no, just stick with generic, all the hyper X would do is bring the clock speed to 1600mhz instead of the default 1333mhz on the generic RAM. However, the difference in gaming between the two is less that 1 FPS.

Thanks for the advices. I've ended up with this one:

The price was going higher and higher so i decided to break and make something more reliable.
