How many gigs of music, pics, videos do you have? You may want to consider a 60-80 gig SSD for the OS and programs and an external HDD for the pics and music. Mine will turn on cold and boot into windows and open up anything in under 10 seconds. It takes 1,300 watts to power it

That is a lot of power to run a computer. You must have a built gaming rig. Ive seen dual video cards with an i7 running on less power

Oh yes. I run an 8 core cpu with 13 case fans, watercooled ram/cpu, 7970, asus st, SSD. The thing really sucks up the juice

I really didn't lose too much, 20-40 high def photos of my truck.
All my bookmarks on websites and such. I did love my C6 Z06 background, though.

Definitely gonna get another laptop, thing lasted over 6 years.

You only have a single GPU and you're using a 1300w PSU? lol and I thought I liked overkill :)

Is it sad that I still haven't got one yet?

Plus, my Dell actually did die couple of months ago. I think the whole motherboard is wasted.

 

As for now, using my grandmothers HP laptop, its a lower base model, My Dell was a better laptop then I'm using right now.

 

Forgot to reply to the actual thing I wanted to.

 

No it isn't sad. I've needed a new laptop for probably 2 years now and I still haven't gotten one yet. Even with an SSD the laptop is still somewhat slow, the fact that it's falling apart doesn't help either. I've just used my phone or tablet when I needed something while away from my desktop.

You will be very happy with an i7 1TB. and the windows 7 is a plus!

Gotcha, what would you recommend me?

The one you posted earlier in the link. Do you use RJ11? If so you will need that connector
