Hello,
So, I am looking to buy a new gaming laptop rig with a 4700MQ processor, Nvidia 780M card, 16GB ram, etc. However, when purchasing my laptop, I'm a little unsure as to what specific types of storage to get.
Main uses for the laptop will be lots of gaming (primarily StarCraft II and WoW), business, and CAD.
After searching thoroughly on these forums, I've found that the configuration I THINK I want is a 240GB Intel SSD and a 1TB 7200 RPM HDD for storage. Is this a good configuration? I've heard to put Windows and my more frequented games (WoW and SC) on the SSD and everything else on the HDD.

Is that a good assumption? Since I have a SSD, I don't need an mSATA drive either, correct? I believe all that is right (if I've read the forums correctly) but I just wanted to double check.

Also, is Intel a good brand for SSD? If not, could you please recommend a better brand?

Thank you guys for all of your help!
