I'm looking for a new gaming laptop
- Unfortunately due to my current living situation it MUST be a laptop
- Preferably 18" screen with 1920x1080 resolution, or 17" screen
- I know I don't need it for gaming but I'd still prefer an i7
- Minimum of 4GB RAM, preferably 8GB RAM but no more than 16GB
- Weight is not an issue
- SSD not required, but certainly welcome
- Looking to play games on Max/High settings with 60fps with a GTX 980M or GTX 980M SLI
-Must have a optical drive
-Must have a built in mic
-Webcam optional
-Battery life is irrelevant because I will be plugged in whenever in use.
$3000 budget
I've done a little bit of research and I know I DON'T want an Alienware, ASUS, Dell, Acer or Lenovo. I've been considering a $3000 configuration of a Sager laptop from xoticpc.com but I'm open to recommendations (hence this thread). If anyone has any recommendations for a $3000 configuration of a gaming laptop that exactly or closely fits these requirements I'd appreciate them.
Again, unfortunately it MUST be a laptop.
