I'm not necessarily sure if the choices I made in the ibuypower customizer will show up, if not, I'll post them afterwards.
But I suppose you're right. I just made something vastly superior to both those other laptops for about $500 cheaper.
EDIT: Yeah, no, it didn't show up, so I'll just post it:

Good, no?
a 420 watt PS on that system will prolly reboot every 30 seconds need atleast a 600 watt for what you have listed and also i would do some research ibuy is getting slammed on reveiws.
Eh, like I said, I'm not completely tech savvy, so any help is appreciated. I'll upgrade the power supply. My budget is about $1905 in total, so it still fits well enough.
As for the site, well, it seems pretty fine to me. Unfortunately, I've no idea where to really research the reputations of these sites, and the computer site you showed me was just a bit more expensive for just about the same system, though the help, like I said, is appreciated. This is the first time that I'm actually stretching out and making (or at least customizing) a PC of my own for exactly what I need and want to do.
just goto google and do a search that says top 20 ranked pcs it will bring up a the reveiws or top 50 if you really want a huge list. I would do that before you decide anything better safe then sorry ibuy is like 29 i think they have crap support and like 85% of ppl say they break down right after they plug it in or something crazy like that just trying to save ya some grief always better to spend an extra 400 bucks then get a POS. http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/landingpages/qx9650/default.asp?gclid=CJTEkoSE6JMCFSEbagodF2SGWQ these are good cheap cpus ranked way better then ibuy.

Good call. I was able to make pretty much the same system for the same price, and if the company has a better reputation, then it's worth it.
I may have posted this to late, but I bought a gaming laptop from Cyberpower and have had nothing but problems with it. The tech support is terrible and the guy wanted me to open up the laptop and take out the memory and stuff. Usually if you do that it violates the warranty. Anyways it took me months before I could convince them to take it in and fix it, and my warranty almost went out. If your going to get a gaming laptop, buy it from someone like Dell/Alienware or bigger brand companies. They may be overpriced, but they actually put it together correctly and offer good tech support.
