    ive been messing around with the laptop config on Hp's web site. i know iam going to get the upgraded cpu, just cant decide between the hdd and ram!

    i know ill be playing games, photoshop cs4, lightroom, sony vegas pro, office.

    games will be L4d2, and mw2. meyby that bond game also.

    what should i do? upgrade to the 2 dimm of of ram for 8 gb, or upgrade to the 410gb dual ssd and hdd?

    or keep the 4dimm ram and then upgrading to the dual hdd/ssd set up?

    will 160gb be enough for the games and the softwere?

    or should i get the standard system with upgraded cpu, 8gb 4dimm ram, 500gb hdd, and get a bluray drive upgrade?

    limit will be $2600us.
