it is a good laptop, but if you have a nearby computer store or a frys you can just buy the ram from there and it will be much cheaper, also you shouldn't get the physx card because it actually decreases frame rate and nvidia will release it on there main card via software. also if there is a 8800gtxm option take it, it is better than 8700m sli. 

also look at alienware (it is also owned by dell)
