Where can I buy a laptop for under 900? I want to use it for gaming like some far cry 2 or something and my budget is 900. So like a pretty good graphics card and cpu and what ever is needed for that without it also being like too hot and I want it reliable. What kind would be good links would be appreciated. Thanks.
I would like a PC more so any recommendations for a PC??? as i said before it has to have a $900 budget and it should be able to handle Far Cry 2 on high with atleast 35-40fps with a 1680 X 1050 resolution..

Nice one sam I did want a 275 or a 4890. seems like their alot faster than the 4870. What if I get the 640gb caviar black? Because I don't necessarly need 1TB but idk as I have heard that 1TB drives might have better quality. Will the 640gb do? Thanks.
There's not a huge difference, it's usually less than 25%. The reason I went with the Terabyte drive over an HD4890 or GTX275 is that upgrade cost $30. It's an extra $100 to change to an HD4890 or GTX275 from that HD4870.
will 640 GB hardrive be good? and jumping from 4870 to 4890 is only 50$ while jumping from 4870 to gtx 275 is 80$
Yeah I see that now, for some reason I had it in my head that HD4890s were $250. Up to you. Any size HDD is fine, it's up to you, how much space do you think you will need?
I mean if I can get the 640gb hard drive which is more than I need then the jump for a better video card would only be about 20 dollars more as for would 650w the power supply still be ample for that? As for the rare cases is the 650 tx almost the same as 620hx as for I don't want them to be like a little better or anything. Like it doesn't mind me if their modular. Otherwise Thanks.
650W is loads for this system, you could really get away with a 450W, but if you wanted to upgrade or overclock to any significant amount you'd be safer with 500W+. Since Corsair's 550W unit isn't as good as their 650W (It's a CWT instead of Seasonic underneath) and the 650W is good value, I chose that instead. Feel free to drop to the 550W VX though, it's still a decent unit and shouldn't give you any problems.
What do you mean safer? Like too much power can break the PC? Or do they have the watts limit controller thing or something? Or did you mean like that would be enough? Thankks.
No it won't break if you don't have enough power, but it might shut down when you play games if it's overloaded. The PSU is a 'maximum'. A PC will only draw as much power as it needs up to the limit of the power supply, it's not like the PSU gives out that much power all the time. That's just how electronics works.
