I just ordered a gaming laptop, here are the specs:


Screen Size = 17.30 inches Touchscreen

Optical Drive Type = BD-RW


Processor =  

  • Intel Core i7-4870HQ Quad Core Processor (6M Cache, 2.5GHz - 3.7GHz) 47W

RAM = 

  • 32GB DDR3L 1600MHz RAM 

 
Hard Drive =  

  • 128GB mSATA SSD + 1TB 7200rpm HDD

Graphics Coprocessor =  

  • NVIDIA Geforce GTX 980M 8GB GDDR5 

Brand Name = MSI
Series GT72
Operating System windows 8


Almost the same with 880M SLI .

Brand name=Alienware

I just had to cancel that order, as they sent me an email telling me it would be another 2 weeks.  So, I ordered it from another vendor and it will be here on the 23rd!  I had to spend another $200, but I got an upgraded CPU, so it was worth it for me...

Great!

I personally wouldn't upgrade from a 7970 6GB to a 290X because I want at least 50% more performance to justify the purchase.

Buy the 16GB of RAM at first (4GB seems pretty low) for your old system, the new one uses DDR3, too. That's maybe enough until the next generation of graphics cards releases.

Thanks for the tip, much appreciated.

Hey you're in the Dallas area right? I should help hook you up with a good budget gaming rig. I build around a hundred units a year, mostly for business clients, but I do end up with stacks of parts to work with. I even know a local airbrush artist who could put an awesome Cowboys star on the side panel, lol.
