Since I have some money now, I have decided to upgrade my laptop.(which is my primary gaming computer.)

Current Specs:
Model: A53SV-TH71
Processor: Intel Core i7-2670QM 2.2GHz
Screen Size: 15.6"
Memory: 4GB DDR3
Hard Drive: 600GB 8MB Cache SATA 5400 PRM
Video Card:
Gaming/Videos: NVIDIA Geforce GT 540M With 1GB Dedi Memory
Everything Else: Intel HD Graphics 3000
Operating System: Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
Click for Exact Specs Ignore where it says K53SV, Its really A53SV (Or so says the sticker on my laptop)

The new HDD:
Western Digital Scorpio Black 750 GB 16 MB Cache
http://www.newegg.com/...?Item=N82E16822136835 Better Performance.
OR
Wester Digital Scorpio Blue 1 TB 8 MB Cache
http://www.newegg.com/...?Item=N82E16822136927 Better Storage.

Memory: I only put 2 because I don't know which manufacturer I should go with. Does one prove better than the other?
Corsair 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR 3
http://www.newegg.com/...?Item=N82E16820145281
OR
Kingston 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR 3
http://www.newegg.com/...?Item=N82E16820139482

What do you think would be better. (What would you buy if you were in this situation.)
 
First I'd say get the Corsair, its cheaper and I've never had a problem with Corsair. Also I suggest looking at DDR3 1600 memory, it isn't a whole lot more expensive and faster than 1333

Now the HDD is personal choice, I would get the 1tb since its more space and fine for general use.
 
Problem with the memory is that according to my laptop specs. It can only handle 1333 MHz RAM.
(Unless that's just what they choose to put in it.)
