help with new laptop

OK, here goes. I have just come into a pretty decent cash windfall and would like to get myself a new laptop to replace the D@ll POS that I am typing this on.

Budget: I tried to stay below $3000, but in my two configurations, went slightly above. I can live with this.

Usage: I am retired and will be commuting from Arizona to West Virginia to spend time with my father (nursing home) since my mother has just passed away and I cannot just abandon him. I will be doing all of his finances as well as mine on the laptop, as well as other mundane tasks (surfing the web, etc). My gaming needs are modest (FO4, Diablo III, Hearthstone, Doom). I know this system will be a bit of overkill, but I have never had a whiz-bang system, and want to splurge a little without breaking the bank (it wasn't THAT much money).

Just looking for a little input on the two configuration's I have come up with, and suggestions that might improve them without adding to the cost (at least not much).

Here are the two configurations I have come up with:

One other question: At this time, my schedule for being in either state is up in the air, as the situation may change on short notice. Anyone know if DS will make provisions to contact me when they are ready to ship to let me choose which address to ship to?

TIA for the help

We can definitely change the ship-to address, just make sure to leave it in the notes when ordering and get in contact with our sales teams and they can also input the info into the notes.
