General Purpose / Gaming Portable

I guess the 32GB of RAM is required for work? If not, 16, or even 8 GB is perfectly fine for gaming.

The bigfoot netcard has a reputation for not necessarily being the most reliable. I was recommended the AN-6300 instead, and after doing some research, I would recommend the 6300 as well.

If you dropped the RAM, you really have no purpose for anything but Home Premium, so I modified that as well.

Chose the 8GB RAM option, and the 500GB HDD option because there's currently a free upgrade to 16GB and 750GB. Might as well take advantage of it.

Again, if you need 32 GB of RAM for work, all good. However, I'd recommend choosing the 24GB option, because it will receive a free upgrade to 32.
