I am having my first custom made laptop built. I am somewhat ignorant about this stuff, but from searching the internet I have come up with this configuration to suit my needs. But I don't really know what I'm doing. I just want to make sure this will be enough for me and that I'm not missing anything. I will be using it for gaming (Skyrim, Crysis3, Civ 5 etc.) and doing work on it also. The work I will be doing isn't very demanding though. Mainly just some paperwork, documents and stuff. I will be storing some music and photos on it too. I do not anticipate any multitasking. Here is my computer so far:
Configuration
EON17-S
1920 x 1080 17.3" FHD LED Backlit Matte Display
Customizable Backlit Keyboard and Touchpad w/ Three Lighting Zones and Seven Color options
Single 4GB NVIDIA GTX 780M
ORIGIN Professional Graphics Card Overclocking
Intel Core i7 4800MQ Quad-Core 2.70GHz (3.70GHz TurboBoost), 6MB Cache
8GB Kingston HyperX 1600MHz (2 X 4GB)
Genuine MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit Edition
6X BD-R Slim Blu-ray Burner
CyberLink PowerDVD 13 Ultra
FREE 250GB Samsung 840 Evo Series
750GB SATA 3.0Gb/s, 7200RPM, 16MB Cache
Integrated High-Definition Audio powered by Sound Blaster XFi
Wi-Fi Link 802.11A/B/G/N Wireless LAN w/ Bluetooth
SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Ports
Media Card Reader
Integrated Biometric Fingerprint Reader
Built-in 2.0 Megapixel Video Camera
Razer Ourobouros
Razer Manticor
My main questions are:
1. Are the 250GB SSD and 750GB HDD plenty good enough?
2. Are mSATA drives something I really need or could benefit from? The computer has 2 mSATA slots.
3. Is 8GB memory sufficient? I don't think I will be doing any multitasking.
4. Is the single 4GB NVIDIA GTX 780M plenty?
5. Is RAID something I should consider? From what I've read I don't know if it necessary for my needs.
I am very impatient so I do want to minimize startup and load times whenever possible. I'm trying not to pay for stuff I don't need and I don't want to overkill. But if I do need something else it is in my budget to do so. Btw, I do not know how to build my own from parts. Thanks for the help.
