    As title says, im looking for a reputable seller, which is reliable in order to buy an m14 and sent it to me over in Europe (Cyprus).

    I want also to ask you guys to give me your feedback for which upgrades u believe is a must for this notebook. I have a desktop which is my primary game machine so im only looking for the minimum upgrades which will be value for money (e.g. i heard that the monitor upgrade worth it). If u have any other suggestions before i proceed with this purchase please let me know.

    Thanks.

    Go for the highest resolution and an SSD if it's possible.
    I would recommend you to get it straight from DELL.

    Go for the full HD screen and GT 765M, Don't waste money on the SSD or ram upgrades from Dell as they are hugely overpriced and worse spec than what you can buy elsewhere.

    I agree, purchase the AW14 with the highest level of non-upgradable devices that you can afford, mainly the GPU. You can upgrade later, but at the cost of a new motherboard. SSD's and ram can be purchased anywhere, anytime and as stated, probably cheaper that what Dell will charge for those upgrades.
