Ok I am in Kuwait for a year so I need a home entertainment, XBOX like system. This is in a effort to keep myself occupied and away from all the hot kuwaiti women who will get me in trouble with my gf, and killed by a angry Kuwaiti father, so I need this bad. :sol:

and all the realistic knock offs
:lol: i used to live in dubai, UAE...so i know what knock offs really are.

don't sweat mate, if you're a noob, then you've come to the right area - thas cos if you knew everything then you'd be just down right arrogant and egotistical :lol:

okay now lets break it down with what you've been advised;
Ok I was told get duel video cards if possible and two hard drives SSD if the price was right for the RAID 0/1 whatever.
these days laptops don't need the raid array...just isn't feasible IMO. If you were told to do a raid array(which i know you don't know what it really is) ...its actually for a desktop. a dual cards would mean doing crossfiring or sli'ing it. that too is something mostly seen...
