http://www.villageinstruments.com/tiki-index.php?page=ViDock I ordered this a week ago, should be here in the next 4 or 5 days (shipping to new york from hong kong) along with a sapphire radeon 5770.

Anybody looking for help about graphics cards on laptops, check out ViDock from Villagetronic. Just gotta buy the dock and the graphics card (assuming your laptop has an Express Card Slot) total about 350 buckaroos.

Just an update, i changed my Processor and Graphics card, any opinions on how this will work? Will it be upgradeable in the future? Will it be able to run other games like Secret War, Wildstar, and GW2?

My first question is, are these components compatible? I don't know much about computer hardware, this list is just what i came up with after spending some time on the ibuypower build options. Second question is how well can this run swtor? I plan on playing games like Secret War, Wildfire, and GW2 in the future but SWTOR is the only pc game i plan on playing for now. Is there anything that stands out as a no-no or "DONT DO THAT!!!"? What things do i need to change? Yes i have read a thousand times building my own is the best way to do it but the thought of messing something up (again, im not very handy with hardware and whatnot) makes me distraught. As it stands, this would cost me $945 which is above what i wanted to spend but if it allows me to play pc games reasonably and allow for updates like graphics cards and whatnot in the future, than i can live with that.
