Is this overkill? Choosing a laptop build.

[edmonfresh]

Hello,

so by trade I spend a long time on very large files on photoshop CS3, usually have a few other things going at the same time also, downloads, music, videos etc.
I also like to play games, Im not a mega gamer, but I'm enjoying a lot of Skyrim, Hitman absolution and of course, Civilization V.

SO, with that in mind and finally deciding I need a laptop so I can be more mobile I have spent the last 4 days solid researching laptops. I am tired people, really quite tired and my eyes hurt a bit.

I have come to two options -

The MSI CX61 Haswell

Intel® Core™ i7-4702MQ Haswell Quad Core
Screen 15.6" (MSI, 1920x1080 FULL HD Resolution, Anti-Glare)
Windows 8 64bit (Wasnt sure but willing to give it a go)
RAM 8GB (DDR3)
Hard Drive 1000GB
Blu-Ray (not that I care)
Dedicated (NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M with 2GB Dedicated Memory)

£699 - A very good laptop I think you would agree.

BUT, then I found this a custom laptop build site - and came up with this, which obviously is better, but is it overkill, is it THAT much better?
Here - https/www.pcspecialist.co.uk/computers/optimusV-15/


Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-4700MQ (2.40GHz) 6MB
8GB KINGSTON HYPER-X GENESIS 1600MHz SODIMM DDR3 (2 x 4GB)
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 765M - 2.0GB DDR5 Video RAM - DirectX® 11
120GB KINGSTON V300 SSD, SATA 6 Gb (450MB/R, 450MB/W)
1TB SERIAL ATA II 2.5" HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE (5,400rpm)
Windows 8 64bit (Wasnt sure but willing to give it a go)

£930

Any impartial and honest advice would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks in advance lovely people.

for 1920 x 1080 the 740m seems kind of weak. personally i would get the 765m and if the money is tight, just drop the SSD
