Let me know what you think please

Will we be needing 32GB RAM anytime soon? On a laptop? Most 64 bit games only require 6GB as of now. 8 to be safe. Especially when youve opted for a slower 675M card. Just a thought.

i would drop the 32GB of RAM down to 16GB. for gaming you only need 8GB, but since you want to do animation and photo editing as well, 16GB is a good amount

I'd drop the processor to the 2.60Ghz, paying an extra 150 bucks for 0.4Ghz overall is a waste of good money in my opinion, drop the 32GB for 16GB KINGSTON RAM or even 8GB, it will depend on if you'll be using heavy duty programs such as Photoshop and other editing programs (I went with 16GB for this reason, also to make it more future proof. xD - Kingston is a top make due to it being configured to using more than 95% of the memory and they run cooler, whereas other brands do not use as much memory.. I'd also up the wireless card to the top model just for a better constant connection.

I don't think you understand how RAM works.

OP, please ignore this advice.

I edited the post and deleted that part, didn't save. I understand RAM enough - I was in the land of nod at the time, but everyone knows Kingston is a good make. xD
