Pretty much exactly what I'm hoping to go for, so go for it! Let me know if you get any feedback on special offers, I went over my budget by a solid 13%

I was also thinking of getting pretty much the same spec, but wondering if the graphics 2gb Nvidia GeForce GTX 485m is SLI configured. Im Reli looking for a top spec graphics card. I know the GTX 485m is already a gud 1 to have but would be nice to upgrade it to SLI and Im pretty sure this wud run nicely with the i7 2920xm.
