    Ok so based on the advice of mr dogg, I'm sending my 17x back, and getting a 15x decked out like so,

    i7 720 QM,
    4GB 1333 DDR3
    320 seagate 7200 rpm,
    1gb GTX 260
    BR reader
    Bluetooth,
    1080p display

    altogether 1300,
    I am planning a 5870 swap, but as I'm not pro I will gladly pay one of you guys for like a visual guide of how to do it.

    Does this seem like a pretty good setup? Really only planning to WoW and MW2.

    I gladly welcome any thoughts comments etc, I'm really new at the DIY but it sounds like the best policy and I'm really interested in learning.

    Well, I changed my mind and I'm just gonna keep the 17x-R1, and I bought this anyway just for the hell of it, so now I'm an AW owner 2x over lol.
    The Q9000 might be a little dated but holy hell the games play so good

    Sig updated :D
