    I wouldnt worry to much. Get stock everything, including RAM and HDD to save some cash and go with the 6990, imo.

    yes...im planning to get everything stock and get the 6990 with the 1080p...will the 1080p compared to the 16:9 make a big difference?

    Defo. So many people have complained about having the 1600 x 900. The 1080p is essential.
