Never Heard of this Laptop Brand. Advice please

[jaften]

Hi people. I am running a chuggin 2nd gen i7 with a GTX460 at the moment and feel the need to put it out of its misery. Pennies are hard to come by so was looking for the biggest bang for my buck. Stumbled upon this one and wondered if anyone could give me some sage advice as I have never heard of this make before.

Thanks in advance

Any reason you can't go for a desktop PC or an ITX PC?
Significantly better for the money.

Chuga,

Thanks for the reply. Those parts and that price took amazing. The thing is I am in the UK and have a friend coming over from the US for christmas so it would be a real hassle to bring loads of parts. I would also have no clue how to put all this together. A laptop is just a better fit for my life

What's your budget in pounds?
I'll put together a custom prebuilt from a store I know in the UK.
