    XOTIC is good and we can't tell you if its worth it. Only you can do that because you know you're financial situation. Only thing I would not do is the YES - Redline Boost™ Overclock My System as I would do that myself.

    1st Xotic has a great rep and excellent service. Given that I think this laptop is overpriced. You can get a G53JW at newegg.com for $1170! Granted it doesn't have a sandy bridge CPU, only has 4gb ram (which is easy to upgrade to 8gb for $50) and a 500gb HDD, BUT it is 500$ less and will have pretty much identical gaming performance (they both have the same GPU).

    Given that I would get the newegg one or something else. The G73SW-XT1 has better specs and is over $100 less.
