i have a amd x2 running at 2.0, with 2 gig of ram and a 7900gts in it. it's like 4-5 years old and starting to feal the age.
want to just get a laptop, i'm sick of sitting on the couch watching my friends playing on their comp. never at home, and would like to bring a laptop around.
i'm looking at the asus g51j-a1, but after a few reviews i'm scared of the heat issues, not on my legs but burning out the gpu/cpu, and once the prices of cpu drop i would like to upgrade it, i don't know if i can upgrade the gpu too?
not worried about weight i'm a strong guy :S.
what would be perfect is if there is a base laptop out there where i can evently buy a 280gtx and the i7-940 or whatever for a lower price range of 1200$
thanks, i know there's alot of questions about this, just looking for somthing more tailered for my question
Thanks
