Hi all,

I am a big gamer and I recently have to travel a lot for work/don't stay in the same place very often. I have build a 'Mobile PC' which is sadly very expensive.

I was wondering as a big gamer, and someone who needs to use Photoshop (and other 'heavy' programs) for a work, is this still OTT even for those needs.

For your intended uses I would say It's an excellent build,if you can afford it go for it,dont forget to upgrade warranty though.

I went for the ATI card (I don't mind waiting a bit for it) as you are right for hardly any more money it's a lot better!
