Hey guys I believe this is my final choice what do you think???:D

Sager NP8130


2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-2820QM, 2.3-3.4GHz, (32nm, 8MB L3 cache)
IC Diamond Thermal Compound
nVidia GeForce GTX 460M 1,536MB PCI-Express GDDR5 DX11
8,192MB DDR3 1333MHz Dual Channel Memory (gonna upgrade to the 1600 memory later)
Combo Dual Laye~ 6X Blue-Ray Read/8X DVDRW Super Multi Combo Drive
500GB (w/ 4GB SSD Memory) Seagate XT 7200RPM NCQ Hybrid (Serial-ATA II 300 - 32MB Cache)
External Aluminum USB 2.0 500GB 5400RPM 2.5" SATA Hard Drive (just more memory)
Intel® Ultimate-N 6300 - 802.11A/B/G/N Wireless LAN Module
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit Installed

cost: 1874.04 so its very well within my price range and I like the fact that it will be more mobile but all in all it will last me personally for 3-4 years+ I just wanted to know what you guys think

It looks like a well balanced system. CPU is great. GPU is just fine. You have tons of RAM, I can tell you you do not have to get more, no need but if you want to cool. You got a BD nice.

Not that this is why or what you bought for but you will be hard pressed to actually run into anyone with a better performing mobile system. I mean unless they had more money and went to Xotic. You are getting performance/value as good as any out there.

Good luck, a little wait but I think worth it.

Putting a SATA II drive as primary is wasting SATA III feature of Huron River platform.Put SATA III SSD as primary drive and large HDD as secondary storage.

For external,buy a Lian Li USB 3 enclosure and put your drive of choice in it or buy the StarTech USB 3 Docking Station.

Smog a very good suggestion, but are you considering cost? If not that could make the decision the only one.

If cost is it, I myself might consider get the SSD over CPU upgrade for real world performance. That said it is one of those things where we all make choices.

I myself do not often do big file dumps. I doubt mp3 will make much of a diff SATA II or III?

But good point as ordering is the time to get the ducks in a row.

I understand what your saying smoghog but SATAIII is nt an option for order on this one and this fits well within my budget maybe in the future I can upgrade cause I understand what your saying about it being a waste

If your top priority is frames per sec in games, I would upgrade to GTX 470 and cut back on other stuff.

Yes 470m is sweet, 485m sweeter but reality does rear it's ugly head at times.;)

[TheMeanHampster]

lol people this is the 8130 certain options are not offered. the 460 is all I can order in it and the 460 will do everything I need right now so that's good. I can't way to order it lol

You can order with the stock 500gb HDD and clone it to the SSD when you upgrade or do a clean Windows 7 installation..Then use the HDD for storage.

If you are sure to get the SSD later then pass on the Hybrid SSH.

Great new SSDs will be on the shelves very soon.

Crucial C400 series
Intel 510 series
OCZ Vertex 3 series
Corsair Performance 3 series

Just looking to save him money in the long run and think of many possible options before ordering.

But I agree;MH order something already,anything!PLEASE:notworthy

Everyone may have different opinions as to what is the best feature in the new chipsets.

SATA III support is at the top of my list and I think it should be put to use.
