    Posted: 02 May 2012 at 10:04pm
Budget:$3000 (+/- $500 depending on if upgrading would really have a noticeable benefit)
Going for a laptop so no need for monitor and already have a mouse for it.
Mainly gaming and then just everyday use (news, videos, etc.).  I already have a work laptop so this will be at a desk nearly all the time so size isn't a real issue.
Would like a config option that is also quieter so would prefer SSD as the main drive at least.
Ideally I'd like a moderate to high powered gaming laptop that will be good for hopefully at least 2 years.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Checkout this 17" gaming laptop for $2,500: http://www.digitalstormonline.com/gaminglaptoploadx17.asp?id=683557
It really depends on your needs such as if you want a 15" or 17", but overall for that much money, you can basically buy a flag ship unit complete will full upgrades on everything.

I think in one of the bigger posts here it says that anything over 8gb/12gb RAM isn't to necessary for gaming so before I make the purchase just wanted to know if it is recommended to go up to 16gb RAM like what's on your config. there. 
Thanks in advance for any help.

For gaming strictly, 8gb is enough for any game out currently in the market. I do heavy photo editing with adobe PS/LR so it's more beneficial for me and for others who render/edit videos and whatnot. But it never hurts to have more
As always, your call!
