Who wants to help me build a gaming PC?

[D.J]

So, Zero has convinced me to look into PCs after I was looking at gaming laptops. So, I got a 1000 dollar budget for a desktop that has to fit in a small college dorm room. Who wants to help me build it, as I have no idea what the *Can'tSayThisOnTV* to do?

Are you talking "build" as in select the parts, or literally putting the thing together?

Gaming laptop.
A laptop would be usable in your room and for class, so if you need a laptop anyway...
I have an ASUS G60VX and an Alienware M11x R1, if you want to ask any questions.

For the CPU, I recommend a sandy bridge i5, the 2500k is the best one. For the motherboard, I think a P67 (chipset) will suit your needs.

The "Build" as in parts.

I was looking at all Asus branded laptops. I like their style the best and the pricing.

2500k
MSI P67 B3 mobo
560Ti Hawk/TwinFrozr2, non-reference 2GB 6950 or 6950
4-6 gigs of DDR3 G-Skill memory, cheap but reliable
Good Noctua fans for your case and CPU cooler
Seasonic or Corsair PSU rated at 500w or more

Well, parents said no to desktop. That sucks.

So, I am down to two laptops. I would like someone to help me choose between the two.

So here are they are:

ASUS G73SW-BST6:

I would get that one, just because it isn't as huge.

Definitely get the smaller one, you'll be miserable if you ever wanna haul that thing to class.
