    1. Is it possible to order only with CPU and GPU, and then buy everything else somewhere else? in order to save me money

    2. would you recommend using SSD as the drive where i store my most used stuff, and my mechanical drive to not so frequently used stuff.
    or use ssd as cache for mechanical drive, via intel rapid storage technology?

    3. recommend me a laptop cooler, which do well with the computer. :)

    Thanks in advance :)

    1) I don't think that it is possible everywhere. If anyone mythlogic and malibal will have those options. I don't think that you will save a significant amount of money, so I'd say think twice.

    2) SSD/HDD is the most optimal performance. Unless you really want an optical drive in a 15" or don't want 3 drives in the P170EM then go for an HDD/SSD.

    3) Can't help you there. I'd really like to know the answer to this as well.
