Right ready to take the plunge

So first of apologies for not adding this to the many D.I.Y. Dock threads but tbh they are getting a bit much.

So my question-questions

I have a acer 4315 (sameish as the 5315) have upgraded many aspects of it thanks to these forums, and am quite happy with it.

However I do miss gaming as I used to be a bit of a desktop upgrade and enjoyed the many wonders that PC gaming used to offer. So seeing as its sporting the infamous x3100 im lacking in the ploygon pushing prowess needed to play the recent latest and greatest titles.

So after quite a bit of reaserch im thinking I should get a desktop 5750 (presubaly with as much RAM as poss) with a PE4L and a PSU im pretty sure im not going to get a x1 2.0 due the fact I only have 3 ports and 1 and 2 are taken by NIC and WiFi.

Is this setup worth a shot should also mention im on a GM965 MB with 2G RAM and a C2D 7250

Thanks

 

Depends on what you want to play? The DIY Vidock is pretty potent. If you can get it all working, it'll be pretty cool. If you ever get another laptop, just make sure it has a decent processor and an express card slot, and you can always use a desktop graphics card instead of buying a power hungry dedicated card.
Go for it!
To get quicker responses for this though, post in the DIY Vidock threads. More people follow it, and you have a really vague topic title.
