    It's ok. People tend to want the 1080 at this size, but I think it'll work.

    It's worth noting that the upgrade to a Radeon 6770M is only $25. That's a cheap price to pay for what is one of the most powerful mid-range GPUs available.

    They are so backlogged with their orders though and they do charge tax and recycling fee so add another $100 for CA -
