You are buying that laptop I though you already owned that. How much are you getting it for. Best buy asus g73jh runs SC2 max on 1920x1080 resolution, and the price is 1200 dollars.
I wouldnt believe most of those guys as they are in that business to make money. They normally build you pc that last for around 1-2 years so you can go back and ask for another one because recent games are not running smoothly. But for 1000 dollars the gtx 460 is not so bad. However if you build yourself you can manage to build a pc within that range with the gtx 480 and even better components than those he mentioned like six core CPU, and 1 terabyte hardrive along with DDR3 Ram, Most likely he is still working with ddr2.
If it cant then it means the game is poorly optmized UNLESS your plying against max users with all of them max units. Because i had a laptop like that and no trouble running call of duty 4 on max.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220739 I sugest this 14", Its very portable and it plays SC2 very well on high settings max screen resolution on BETA. However it is 14' unlike 11' from alienware. Thats the only con. after that it has a better Processor and it has disc tray so you can install your games if you want physical games. Personally i dislike alienware because their PC parts are cheap and yet they are very overpriced. Not so sure with laptops though.
So be it i can see you have some moral values I dont =(. But 1300-770 leaves to $530 to spend on a video card. Maybe you can get the 5970 if you add 100 more. If not then you are either left with the 5870 or the Nvidia gtx 480. Oh dont forget cashback. If you buy through Bing believe you get 3% cashback off your total purchase(last time i checked tends to vary) Once i got 10% cashback.
Razer are brand names like Nike and Adidas but i have mouse 2500dpi bought the brand is ihome for 24 bucks(lol) and it does the job perfectly. Detects very small movements and almost no difference in comparison to the razer(i think it was called maba) Either way that mouse was $140 last time i checked and i had the pleasure to test its only looks i tell ya and presentation. If you dont plan on keeping the nice box or the manual i suggest you go for a cheaper solution because in the end you are not going to notice 2x the performance as i though because of the 5000dpi variable. I didnt even notice a 10% increase in my performance.
Very good PC why upgrade unless you are an enthusiast gamer that wants to see the best graphics in the world. Then sell your 4890 and get the 5870 and get a monitor 1920x1080. Other than that ill be very happy with what you currently have at least till the next gen starts. Because games are developed for consoles of this gen that dont require much horsepower unless they are terribly optimized.
Forget the OS you can get that yourself easily from a friend who owns a laptop with the OS in disk or easily on torrents. Who really wants to give more money to a product that hardly does any relevant updates to fix real issues?
Instead of intel i7 get AMD processors those with 6 cores and your savings can be upgraded for a better video card like a 5870 or a 5970. I also recommend to get a cheaper power supply. Ive been working with computers with 9 years and although corsair are reliable. They are brand name that is hyped by pc consumers. Just get a regular power supply with same watts and enough pins to fill your video card and youll be set to go. Antec does the job for me perfect.
