    WHAT? I cannot give him any discount I am just a regular forum member! Get your facts straight before making such statements!

    AND for your INFO I do not do any after sales support NOR are the tweaks that I offer to the HIDevolution Gaming Team an obligation on my part! I do this out of my own will on my own time to help others!

    The best system builder is HIDevolution. Not only do they offer some of the best customer service that I've ever seen. Their build quality and quality checks are top notch so you are certain to receive a laptop that works 100% out of the box.

    I recommend you choose Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut + Fujipoly thermal pads in the configurator for the best cooling. Additionally, they offer a bottom panel mod, see how they did it on my current MSI GT75 Titan:

    Here are the listings (the prices vary depending on the configuration):

    Custom Built MSI GT75 8SF TITAN-015 - 17.3" FHD 144Hz - i7-8750H - RTX 2070

    Custom Built MSI GT75 8SF TITAN-014 - 17.3" FHD 144Hz - i7-8750H - RTX 2070

    Custom Built MSI GT75 8SG TITAN-013 - 17.3" FHD 144Hz - i9-8950HK - RTX 2080

    Custom Built MSI GT75 8SG TITAN 4K-012 - 17.3" QFHD 100% RGB - i9-8950HK - RTX 2080

    Custom Built MSI GT75 8SG TITAN 4K-011 - 17.3" QFHD 100% RGB - i9-8950HK - RTX 2080

    Email [email protected] before you order though to get the NBR Forum Discount

    First of all, thank you and what do you recommend about the dead pixel option, screen color bleed and screen calibration?. Should I pay more for these options or no?.

    Only get the dead pixel guarantee and back light bleed because the last thing you want is to wait for a week or more for your laptop to arrive, only to see that it has a dead pixel or some ugly backlight bleeding.

    Screen calibration IMHO is not required on MSI laptops a they have a utility called MSI True color which has color profiles to choose from for your screen.

    Excuse me. I didn't mean you offer discounts or support. I know you don't work for them. I only gave your name for contact info of who to talk to at HID for these things. No need to get butt hurt over it. Chill out.

    Then choose your words correctly. If anyone would read what you said they'd think I own HIDevolution or something and that I give discounts, tech support, AND the tweaks come part of the package!

    Hello nader! There is no "best website" from which to get your notebook. Feel free to contact the many fantastic resellers that participate in the forums. HID is merely one of many options at your disposal, all of which can certainly meet your requirements.

    I got mine from XoticPC and everything went smooth for me. I had several upgrades including memory upgrades for dual-channel RAM; CPU & GPU thermal paste upgrades and Fujiploy thermal pads added; GPU over clocks and laser engraving. They also added a bunch of promotional extras for all the upgrades, plus free shipping and lifetime tech support.

    Honestly, until reviews come out, I still think you got a superb machine. The GTX1080 is no slouch, and is near an RTX2070, so all things considered, you still have a very capable graphics card :)

    Im looking forward for reviews for these new laptop GPUs, because I don't know what sort of limits they will be imposed. For starters they consume more power than their previous gens counterparts, so maybe the RTX2080 won't be as big a jump as it should entirely be (like 30% or more).
