I actually ordered a laptop elsewhere, but it never arrived after 2 attempts at ordering, so it's there loss and PCS's gain! However, my budget was £880, but I decided when messing around configuring laptops over here on PCS that I would stretch a bit further! I wanted more RAM, but I was told I didn't really need it for gaming, just a good graphics card, but I suppose I could easily upgrade the RAM at a later date easily enough.

The main game I play is Football Manager 2014, so this laptop will play that like a breeze in the wind! Can't wait for it to arrive so that I can do a review on it :D

Overkill for FM. I hope you get your money's worth by playing a lot of other games. Look forward to the review though :)

Considering my current laptop is an under-kill and I've never had a proper gaming laptop before, this is exactly what I wanted :D I do like other games too, so it's possible that the graphics may be needed at some point.

I keep finding myself look at the tracker on my laptop! Can't wait another day for the damn thing, yet I know I have to wait at least 5 :(
