As read here and there, it seems the gtx670 is a brilliant gpu choice, I don't know the technical details behind i7 3630/3930k etc etc. It seems at this price I can only go for 3630qm , I know 3930k would be awesome to have for 4k editing and what not, but you are the professionals, that's why I came to you. Please tell me as much info a you can on what I'm looking at with this budget, at least I know the possibility of editing 4k on laptops is there, at reasonable rendering times. I also want to know if 4k editing is not killing it if done repeatedly, I mostly came across just guys who have tried it and saw it worked well. I can't afford both desktop and laptop and I'm an EU student (studying Film), going in and out the country constantly. P.S.: Of course, I might even consider editing 2k, yet I want as much performance as possible for this money (which is A LOT in my agenda). Thanks guys, you shall be rewarded at the gates of Heaven
