Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out my housing situation for Fall. I was trying to room with a friend but it sounds like he may not be able to, so assuming that falls through I'll need a new option. I don't have any place in mind and don't care if you have a place yet or not. I definitely want my own room, my own bathroom would be nice but not necessary. I'll be 20 by Fall and a Junior. Digital Media/Video Game Design major. I like playing video games on all platforms, making videos, listening to music, etc. I'm somewhat ocd about cleanliness so if you keep the kitchen dirty or like to party a lot we probably won't be a good match. I don't smoke or have pets and don't want to live with someone who does (unless its like a fish tank or something). If you think we might be a good match, let me know and we can talk.

So I've come to the decision that while having the portability of a laptop can be really nice, I don't use it enough for me personally to have to split my money between 2 computers. So, I'm upgrading my desktop and selling my laptop.

So I'm Selling:

Desktop Parts:
Asus M3N72D Motherboard - $60
4gb ddr2 ram - $20
Radeon hd 5770 (sapphire) - $90
450W psu - $20
Phenom II X4 945 3ghz CPU - $90
~320GB HDD - $30
CD Burner/Drive (not sata) - Free with any other purchase or $5

Laptop
Alienware m14x (14" screen w/high res upgrade(900p))
i7 cpu @ 2ghz
6gb ram
750gb hd
gt 555m grphx card
Includes TactX Headset and Orion Backpack
Like New condition, with box, manuals and all
$1200


My new upgrade:
Mobo: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16813131736
PSU: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16817341017
RAM: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820233170
GPU: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814130768 (Whenever it's back in stock. Anyone have an idea when that might be by the way?)
Any thoughts? Better choices, compatibility? (My cpu is a Phenom II X4 3ghz btw)
And my goal is to be able to run most games at the highest settings for over a year, at 1080p, and in 3d(720p). I know that the 680 might be a bit overkill at the moment but I'd rather not be behind a generation.

I've got a friend building a PC and he asked me to post it here so you all could double check that everything looks good. He is buying a case off ebay (hasnt picked yet) which is why it isnt here.

Hi everyone. I'm buying a laptop and was hoping to get suggestions. I want to use it for gaming and adobe creative suite. 14-15" screen. Max price of $1200. Thoughts?

Thanks!

Hey, I'm selling my Razer Orochi mouse. It's used, but I take great care of my stuff so it looks almost new. It has all the original stuff including box, travel pouch, stickers, cord, and of course the mouse. If you don't know, it works bluetooth or wired. I'm looking to get $40. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
