The best what? What is "the best" in your opinion and based on what criteria? 840 evo is far from the best to begin with.

I would personally go for something a little bigger. http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-240GB-2-5-Inch-Internal-CT240M500SSD1/dp/B00BQ8RM1A?SubscriptionId=AKIAIEF7KZG4SSIJ7QQA&tag=toms_shopping_ssd-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B00BQ8RM1A Only $30ish more for double the...

The "or higher" was really meant for the res. However, I think that 14" wouldn't be a bad size either, so 14 or 15.6" is where I want to be. Gigabyte has two thin offerings at both sizes, P34G and P35K. But both lack touch capability. I am probably just a year soon for wanting decent gaming...

Thanks for the link as I hadn't heard of them before. However, those all appear to be thick laptops like alienware options. Some thinner choices I have come across are the razer blade (14" 1600x900 though, no touch screen, and mediocre TN panel) and the gigabyte p35k (no touch, and possibly...

Looking for a touch laptop. Spec wise, I am wanting: 15.6" 1920x1080 or higher, ips, touch i7 4700MQ or better at least 8gb ram at least 128gb ssd at least gtx 750m but preferably better and reasonable thickness http://www.dell.com/us/p/xps-15-9530/pd Was currently looking at the highest end...

Quad-GPU SLI is what you want. Socket 1150 Probably Z87 chipset I assume ATX sized (unless you are looking at a smaller case) And then probably at least usb 3.0 and sata 6gb/s

What country are you in? There has got to be some type of online computer part store where you could find comparable parts to see if you are getting a decent quote. Newegg is just what we use here in the States.

Just adding the cpu/mobo/ram/gpu on newegg, I am at $530. The psu is not worth $200. Gigabyte is not known for psus for a reason. A corsair TX power supply is where you want to be on this build. Is this a prebuilt he is quoting you with a case, hdd, and OS as well or just some parts?

Very nice equipment. Fairly close to what I have myself. Should definitely serve your needs and then some. Sorry I couldn't reply before purchase, but I wouldn't really have made any drastic changes anyways, so good stuff.

Not really doable on the budget for any worthwhile upgrade of your cpu, mobo, and ram. That alone will eat that budget up whereas a gtx 660 alone is over half your budget. So basically, you need a little more money. Also, what power supply you got?

Keep the hdds and dvd drive and possibly the OS if it can be transferred and start anew. Maybe see if you can resell the rest on CL? If the OS cannot be moved to a new system, then try selling it on CL with one of the smaller hard drives so you can recover some money. While it would be nice...

Not a bad rig at all. Upgraded gpu was a big upgrade indeed. Only thing I would not have recommended was that PSU. Not one you will see recommended on computer tech forums unfortunately. I am sure it is an improvement over the stock one, but that and the monitor would be my only two changes...

I think you made the sound choice. Neither would have been a bad decision, but like you said, price justification for the performance increase just wasn't really there.

Personally, a gtx 770 at that resolution should be plenty for the time frame you are talking about and since you don't care about all the advanced image quality settings. It also is $400 vs $650 (60% more) yet the 780 only nets you about 15% more performance stock compared to stock. The 780...

I would say over $50 is probably on the expensive end. http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Optical-Gaming-High-Precision-910-002277/dp/B0055QZ216/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1368236193&sr=8-2&keywords=g400 This is probably more your speed for price and should be a similar fit to the deathadder in terms...
