Hi!

I am just about to buy a new laptop from PC specialist. However I am uncertain if my laptops components are all compatible?!

Please could someone look over them and tell me if they work well together or not and if anyone has any suggestions for improvements I would love to hear them! (If I can help it I don't want to spend any more money!)

First thing you will want to do is swap out the i5 for an i7 4700MQ, which is faster and cheaper, so that's a win.

I would advise a single GPU over dual 765m's, something like a 780m though not sure how that looks price wise. upgrade to the scorpio black for the 2nd drive.
