    I want to buy this laptop for gaming and music only. Guild Wars 2 and Diablo III

    What is a decent not too expensive build?

    I agree with Meaker, but the 2630qm is out of stock in almost every vendor, and 8gb comes as standard in almost every vendor too.

    The MS-16F2 is a great laptop i have one myself with the GTX560M.

    It plays all my games at max and is fast. My Laptop has the Intel i7 2670QM but what meaker said is right thats the best setup to have.

    Meaker is a Guru for this kinda thing.

    Unlike my other laptops this one is great and is still working solid!

    Check www.powerpronotebooks.com . Their msi 16f2 (powerpro r 11:36) is on sale with a gtx 580m at $1399 with a 2670qm and 8GB ddr3 1600 ram. =) if you decide to stick with an intel 2630qm and a gtx 570m, they still have it at a cheaper price.
