I didn't include the Moniter, CD/DVD-ROM, Keyboard/Mouse, Operating System or any additional software on this list.

Total adds up to: $1,285 (With out shipping, tax, etc.)

The OS and software should be cheap as for the monitor and mouse and keyboard, etc, that's up to you.

SSD are overrated. Still have no reason too buy one. Look Bob my PC boots in 10 seconds. Who ****ing cares.

lol i dont have SSD and mine boots in like 15 seconds

Mine takes 25 TOPS.

Never sat down and calculated it. But then again It never turns off.

I've heard SSDs also dramatically boost the load times of applications.

I could see that.

cf loads in 3 seconds for me tho....

mw3 loads in 6-8

Well duh.

Still see no need for one. My PC loads EVERYTHING just fine at 7200 RPM.

same here.

processor helps too

i just cant justify spending that much more

and bios is locked and heard of others being unsuccesful on the sandy bridge.

Can't flash the BIOS?

I dont want it to overheat

probably play with the graphics card instead.

Ya lappy's are not made to OC. As you stated heat is always an issue.

aRabbs wrote: »

ya, my graphics card is known to run cool so I found a thread on OCing it.

my laptop doesnt get hot now tho.

Ya my next step is a new mobo. Current is an AM3. Aiming for an AM3+ debating on a FX chip not sure though.

aRabbs wrote: »

you know whats gay?

i can change my cpu but not my gpu with out a new mobo

Weird ussualy most Lappy's wont even do that. Atleast the option is there.

aRabbs wrote: »

ya but i dont think i will need a new cpu for some time

its "clipped" in there haha

Ya mine is snug against the board under my water block for the Corsair H80. Pain in the ass to take out and put back in.

aRabbs wrote: »

luckily 2 screws and the back plate comes off.

then 2 more screws to reveal the ram.

unfortunantly keyboard has to come off to get to cpu.

Ya two clips hold the CPU down to the braket which is held down by 4 screws threaded through the back plate of the mobo.
