gaming laptop will having to be plugged in constantly. You will also want an SSD from the start because it's just so much better. Unless you are planning on being stuck away from home all day build a desktop.. My personal preference is amd/ati because it's so much cheaper.. the specs you are looking at are way more than you need to run games @1080p 60fps..
not that you asked.. i just wanted to add you can save 50% |
Thanks for the info. Ya I want an SSD, but I know they are still quite high in price. I probably won't be stuck away from home all day, so a desktop would probably be best. And like I said above, I don't want to have to worry about upgrading for a while if I build a desktop and plus I'm gonna be using Maya and UDK/cryengine 3 and I want to make I won't be bogged down by slow render times. Like with my macbook pro right now a batch render took over 2 hours for like 20,000 polygons and some really basic textures.
So would you go with a gtx 680 or radeon 7970?

since it's for more than gaming I don't qualify to answer for you. I suggest you ask on www.tomshardware.com forums. They are great ppl over there.

It's no problem. I am definitely gonna build one. I'm gonna do a lot of research to figure out what is gonna be best since I won't be making it for another 3-6 months. I'll check those forums out too.
