Needless to say, I cannot wait for it to arrive. Pics and thoughts will follow.

On a side note I just want to say how nice my experience has been so far with PCS. Professional, clear and easy to navigate site followed by friendly customer support. A world apart from my experience buying my previous laptop from a competitor.

Ordered yesterday :)

Nice spec, similar to mine. If you are still in the pre-building stage and it is mainly for gaming I'd suggest the i7-4700MQ, the improvement in clock speed compare to the i7-4800MQ doesn't merit more than £100 difference imo. You could consider a scorpio black as the main drive and dead pixel guarantee if you haven't chosen one.

Nice spec!

Though I don't quite get it.. your 'old' Vortex III is still pretty cutting edge, is this going to be in addition to it or have you sold your Vortex III?? I can't imagine this will perform that much better than the Vortex III you've got!
