This is my current setup.
Do you think the current setup is good? My main focus is going to be high end gaming and graphic/web design. I can't decide if i should scrap the HDD/Wireless HD/Bluetooth upgrades and upgrade my CPU? I don't see to much of a difference with the 2760QM over the 2630QM. Tho maybe i could scrap some useless upgrades to save some money? I just don't know what to do >.<
I'm trying to keep it under $2,000 the closer i hit the $2,000 dollar limit the more angry my wife gets, the further away from the $2,000 make the happier she gets......Dang what to do what to do.
I guess I'm just looking for some feedback, comments.
Also about the 3.0GB DDR3 NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 555M upgrade, the reason i picked this was because i heard the more video memory the better for streaming to another HDTV / Using another Monitor etc.. Maybe the extra memory would help with my graphic/web design?

Drop the RAM down to 4 and do the upgrade yourself later on if you need it. It'll be cheaper and you can recoup some of the cost by selling the old sticks.
I've heard wireless HD isn't all that great. It heats up the screen a bit and loses signal if you walk between the laptop and TV. Maybe you could make do with a HDMI cable?
I'm also not convinced that the 3GB card will help much for anything. -
In my opinion, you don't really need all that add on's. If you need to drop the price, remove the 3.0 gt555m (doesnt really make a difference), you don't really need the killer NIC, but you're getting a decent price on it, the ram get on your own at newegg, like the hyper x, and I wouldnt get the hard drive upgrade from dell, Id do that on my own.

I'd keep the Killer card. I hear the stock one is horrible for gaming over wifi
-
Lose the 3GB card. It makes no difference and it's a waste of money.
-
While the 3GB card is worthless for gaming, is the extra ram useful if he ever does any GPU based video encoding?
