    Going to order this beast in the next few hours. Hopefully it will ship with 560M :D. What I was going to get is:

    Windows 7
    Bigfoot network adapter
    2 year parts and labor
    And I was thinking Redline Boost to OC my video card. If this is acheived easily by myself please give me a heads up.

    Any suggestions? Anything that would really help my performance if I get rid of redline boost?

    I'd consider whether the network card is necessary. Do you have a higher end wireless N router at home? Most report that the 6300 has better range/speed than the killer. There was a thread previously listing the issues with the killer performance. The 6300 can do 450mbps, and the 6250 can do 300mbps. Both of these would require at least a draft N router for 300, and one of a handful of brand new models to do 450.

    You can do OC'ing on the video card yourself through software, but some report that it's hit and miss on how much the card can support.

    The extra warranty is highly recommended, as it's a bit of extra piece of mind on an expensive purchase.

    The 460m is currently backordered with many resellers as the 560m is around the corner. No word on ETA though.

    That's up to you. It'll save you some time and hassle of having to do it yourself. Don't take my word on any of this though, I'm sure others here will gladly chime in one way or another! :D
