So my gaming laptop broke which is worth 3k, when i bought it well i didn't know much about computers but now I figured out i can get something waaaay better.
The kind of specs im looking at
an i7 processor at least quad core 3.2ghz+
8-16gb ram
250gb ssd 1tb hard drive
4gb nvidia graphics card
Everything else is well expendable?

Also if anyone can or just wants to convince me to go amd I have an open mind to it. Thanks heaps
PS. And also the whole i7 is expendable too. I want bang for my buck. As Jeremy Clarkson would say POWERRRR!!!

How bout a 6GB Nvidia card?
The Xeon build is the same as the i7 just a non overclocking version to save a lot of cash.
If you want a different color let me know. I can do a bunch of other colors.
