I want to build my own laptop or at least put what I want in it , not this prebought , prebuild , preinstalled with tons of useless stuff that I will probably never use EVER...

So I bought a Asus C90 Barebone....
I bought a Intel Duo Core 2 Processor...
I bought the max amount of Ram the Laptop Mobo allows which is 3GB...
I have bought a OEM of XP...

My problem now is I cant find the Graphics Card and I was talking to some guy he says they sell them in stores BUT RARELY he says I have a better chance online .... I have googled like crazy and I keep coming up with Dell or Alienware prebuild PCs for like $3000 , when my builds total cost with out the graphics piece right now is barely at like $900.... PLEASE I would really like help to find a 8800GTSM or GTXM , hell I would even settle for a 7950GTXM or something like that something that will allow this laptop to tackle some demanding games a little easy. The game he wants to play is Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures with us.

I don't want personal opinons posts about how a laptop is inferior compared to a desktop ... I COULD CARE LESS , Im asking for help if you know it or if you want to help please no annoying childish rants about how a regular desktop is better why dont I go for that?

1. This Laptop isnt for me , Im building it for a friend cause in his line of work hes away from home alot and he wants to play games with us while away. His job consists of making him travel to citys and wait in a hotel for days with nothing to do until the day of the meeting or whatever so seeing as a Laptop would be practical for him I told him I would try to make him one and if not I would show him where he could get a decent laptop for the game he wants to play for a decent price.

2. If I build it he will pay me, not to mention I have build Desktops before and now Im interested for tackling this interesting task of being commisioned to build a laptop, something I have never done an I am interesting in trying.

So... Any help would be helpful.

Thank you,
Lash

Yeah, you can buy practically everything you need to make your own laptop apart from the GFX card.
