So what would you guys suggest I go without to make my build cheaper but I can always upgrade later.

 

certainly a nice build.
really all i can see is get less ram which is dead cheap now and get the cheapest hard drive as you will defo have to get a ssd or two.
that is a beast of a lappy and you wont get the full potential of it until you put in a ssd.

is this just in case the guys have visited dunkin donuts earlier

congrats. now once youve paid comes the hardest part. the wait.

 

I have a 512GB samsung 840 pro here which I plan on putting in when it comes. I dont have the option for no HDD so 750GB is the minimum I can get. Like you said RAM is super cheap so I dont mind that. I would like to shave a few hundred off of this. Funds are a bit lower than I initially thought.


As for the White Glove Premium Packaging I didnt actually get that. Right next to where it says that is "No Thanks"

 

We're actually hot wings fans, nobody want's a sauce covered package.

If you already have the SSD, you're set there. Shoot me a PM or an email with your order number. I can check with Sager to see if we're able to remove the HDD on your machine.

 

even better. one of the fastest read/write drives i believe. me jealous, never.

the white gloves was in jest as id never heard of it before.

too spicey for me, give me mahooosive spare ribs any day.
Dereks always on hand to help out so he can send me the drive instead

 

Is there a dollar amount you're looking to get closer to? You could go with the i7 4700MQ instead of the 4800. It wont be easy to upgrade to that later, but you may never see the difference in those CPU's unless doing a lot of CPU demanding programs.

 

Closer to $2200 or $2300 would be nice. Thanks for that CPU suggestion. I probably wont be doing anything too CPU intensive but will the 4700MQ still be pretty future proof

 

The 4700 will serve you for a long time. Even the previous 3630QM has years ahead of it.

 

@derek, when will we be able to see a video review/overview of the new Sager lineup, specifically the 9390?

 

We're actually currently working on them. With all these models coming out right around the same time there are quite a few to shoot, edit, and then put up. We usually have the Sagers up first, then work on getting the MSI and Asus videos up. Haven't heard a timeline, but should be soon.
