[QUOTE="Soulbound, post: 333364, member: 33155"] A gaming tower has more advantages over a gaming laptop, mainly when you want to upgrade the hardware. If you are looking for a tower, then your best bet is to custom build it. What you will need to decide are two things: Intel or AMD processor and Nvidia or AMD Radeon graphic cards. Here are some basic recommendations, note that the price is in British pounds: [URL='http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-065-OG&groupid=43&catid=2475&subcat=2487']Intel Core i7 5820K @ 3.8GHz OC Six Core Haswell-E Nvidia Gaming PC[/URL] [URL='http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-067-OG&groupid=43&catid=2475&subcat=2487']Intel Core i7 5930K @ 3.8GHz OC Six Core Haswell-E Nvidia SLI Gaming PC[/URL] [URL='http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-053-OG&groupid=43&catid=2475&subcat=2489']Intel Core i7 4790K @ 4.6GHz Overclocked AMD Radeon Crossfire Gaming PC[/URL] [URL='http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-066-OG&groupid=43&catid=2475&subcat=2489']Intel Core i7 5930K @ 3.8GHz OC Six Core Haswell-E AMD Crossfire Gaming PC[/URL] If you want to go Laptop routes, then you have limited choices: Aorus X7 v2-CF1 17.3" which runs: Intel Core i7-4860HQ, 16GB DDR3, 3x128 SSD RAID, 1TB HDD, Dual NVIDIA GTX 860M SLI Aorus X7 Pro V3-CF1 17.3" which runs: Intel Core i7-4870HQ, 16GB DDR3, 2x256 SSD RAID, 1TB HDD, Dual NVIDIA GTX 970M SLI Alienware (depends on what you want really on that one) Asus ROG series (Republic of Gamers) with 17.3": (I use one myself: ASUS ROG G750JM 17.3" model and cant say I ain't happy... specially the silence and cooling that this beast has).
