Processor and RAM is overkill. i5-3210M/3230M is more than enough for gaming but if you want to get a quad core processor, i7-3610QM/3630QM is more worth it. 8GB RAM (2x4GB) is highly recommended, any latest games now won't fully used the 8GB. 16GB RAM only necessary if you're doing video editing/photoshop/3D modelling.

icic.the video card is good enough?

 

[Tudo88]

aftershock titan or alienware x17?or any other powerbeasts that can fit into my budget?

The card itself is the best there is unless you intend to SLI

 

[Tudo88]

sli means dual 680?thats quite expensive man

 

[SoggyBear]

go for x17 then

Yes SLI means dual cards. The 680 is sufficiently enough for most games. Just don't expect to max every setting.

GTX 680M currently the best single graphics card for laptop since the 680MX/790M still not available for any laptop locally. It should can play any games at ultra settings with low-high AA depending on the game.

should i wait a while more to see whether there are any latest update or shld i grab it now?

i think the price is kinda nice and the rumoured gtx780m is actually a gtx680mx in the imac now.Its only like 10% faster than the gtx680m. I guess there isnt much significant difference between them. A slight overclock can match the gtx680mx now in the imac or the rumoured gtx780m.
