Upgrade to the auo matte screen, has much better reviews and comments, than the standard matte screen, drop the wireless card to the standard, you wont notice the difference unless your broadband speed exceeds the standard. Drop the 1600mhz ram to 1333mhz, you wont notice the difference for gaming, go with the intel 120gb 520 series, it lasts more cycles, and has a 5 year warranty by intel as opposed to the 330 3 year, im not 100% sure on this as i saw it posted by another member on this forum. Drop cpu to 3610qm maybe?, could be money saved as 3610 is more than sufficient.
