Silver warranty, Scorpio black as the primary drive and 8gb ram. Depending on your budget I would also consider an mSATA ssd

Yeh in my opinion I think that that will definitely be very nice for gaming, the gtx 980m is a very powerful card, I have the same laptop but with a 970m and even though it's not up and running yet, I believe it will also be a very nice gaming laptop, so the 980m is just taking it to the next level xP

And I also agree with Keynes on what he said especially with the ram, 16GB is just a waste unless you are going to edit videos as the 16GB doesn't even get used by the laptop in gaming xP
