Since my AW notebook keeps pooping out on me I will finally have to make time to send it back for repairs but in the mean time I have to have something that I can game on. So now I am turning to you guys for suggestions on what parts to go about getting. My budget is a few hundred but I am flexible. So.... HELP! DUKE!!! ANYONE!!
