long gone

Yeah you're not gonna find much in the way of gaming laptops for $700 xD

Building a desktop, the sky is the limit towards how cheap or expensive a PC can be. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/98vHJx Here's an AMD APU-based build I threw together just now, but of course if he wants to spend more and build a thousand-dollar monster like me then he can by all means do so. And let me tell you... watching your new PC boot for the first time is one of the best feelings in the world.

I can see that now lol

Interesting, it seems to depend on what specific parts you use. The more expensive and fancy the features you choose are, the more it is going to total.

I'll share the website with my friend as I'm sure it will be of much use. Thanks!

All right, cool. That's what I used to track prices for my own PC, btw. If you're interested, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/jc4RnQ
