Origin; Pay 300 bucks for the "specialist in building gaming rigs" while an MSI/Acer/HP high end is just as sufficient and probably way cheaper. All other brands can get pixel guarantee aswell but usually through the shop that sells it for an additional small cost. Buy a normal laptop instead of the screamers and buy some extra games/gtc's with the money you have left.
BTW: 5770 is (budget) bang for buck card for desktops and laptops. Good card though especially in Xfire where it usually outperforms a single 5850 in games that support dual cards. Real performance is carried in from 5850 and 5870 though mobility cards will always be inferior to desktop cards due to heat issues.

Edited by: Freyya on 26/08/2010 10:51:04 See my updated post and some questions for yourself to answer on the lap/desktop;
Are you going to go to lanparties? Are you actually going to sit on the couch with the laptop @ hand playing games while your crotch is burning away? (prolongued heat exposure can make you unfruitfull if male) Are you actually going to play games when there's no power outlet nearby? Are you actually going to move the pc/laptop so much portability is really an issue? Do I really want to spend 1500+ bucks on a laptop while the same money will buy me a rig twice as powerfull (laptops are prenerfed for battery and heat issues) with an almost twice the size screen or perhaps 2 20" monitors?
Answer those and you have your answer ![Wink](/images/icon_wink.gif) ___________

That system is peachy. I personally am more of an ATi fanboy but nVidia works aswell. Since you'll be looking @ this 4 months from now there will most likely be a new ATi card release and depending on their availability and prices that might be interesting. Intel will probably introduce a new processor family by then as might AMD. Anyways, shelf your pc project for 4 months and look at it when you're ready to buy 1. Also, will you be using the PC in Korea or America? Don't know if there are differences in power outlets and volt output but yeah that's something to look at when buying stuff like that. ___________

Edited by: Freyya on 26/08/2010 12:46:06 Well Korean prongs sound the same as European then as it's also 220V here. European plug
Korean plugs generally seem to be the same though there are some other types aswell. Also if you're going to be wanting to use a laptop for college you might considder a netbook. Small factor basic laptops...or perhaps used laptops are a nice way to look. Play eve fullscale @ home and install the weak graphics version on the lappy to change skills/talk while @ college. ___________
