I would like to know that is this combination OK? Is it worth $1864? And is the "Glare Type" Super Clear Ultra Bright LED Glossy Screen w/ 90% NTSC Color Gamut really necessary? Because I heard a lot of censure about the stock screen. (But some people said the stock screen is awesome) SO, I got confused.

Need suggestions~~~~

 

The two major components 2760QM + 6990M. Thats what I wanted to see.
Congrats on your purchase!

 

Thanks! Do you change the screen or you keep the stock one? I heard the P150 has a better stock screen than P170. How do you feel about AMD 6990?

 

Actually the AUO 90% NTSC Color Gamut screen is the best choice right now with the AMD 6990M in the 8170...many would say.

The 6990M is the ultimate card right now for the price!

All the specs look great to me. The only thing i personally would change is the NIC, i'd go with Bigfoot, but that's my personal opinion.

Congrats on your purchase

 

You know what's great about that build, is that you can upgrade to an SSD at a later time to boost your speed by quite a bit. Here's the disassembly guide if you need it in the future
