Good laptop to run MFSX, Sony Vegas 12 and Pro Tools 10

[Johnny Boy_62]

Hello,

I am looking for the minimum laptop I would need to run Microsoft Flight Simulator X with high graphics. I would also like to run Pro Tools 10 and Sony Sound forge as well as Sony Vegas 12.

I see some nice systems from Pro-Star and XoticPC but can I really use more than 8 GB of DDR3 and do I really need an Nvidia GTX670? I am not sure where overkill begins for the programs I want to run.

Weight and battery life do not matter to me. I was looking at an MSI. Any help?! Thanks in advance.
