@ yasamoka, i have always preferred nvidea but you seem to know more about this than i do so i will go with your opinion. But remember moores law , i want this thing to last me A long time , with 32gb of ram , the laptop wont get outdated for quite some time :) , this needs to be able to handle the best games and graphics for at least 4 more years as it is a big investments, i have been collecting a little above 1.5 years now. LOL ,i cant change my laptop every two years or w/e. I agree that ssd's are better and i already have a 2 tb external so normal storage wont be an issue, and if i am not mistaken dont ssd's last longer?
Beej is correct with 2500$ you can get a desktop that would be 10 years ahead of ur laptop
btw nowadays no game will use more than 8gb of ram period top tier games dont even use 4gb! 32gb is not future proof its a waste of money cause ur laptops graphic card and cpu will be useless by the time we would be using applications that need 32gb of ram anyways its your money in the end :)
