I've been into Sazeracs lately. And I would be remiss if I didn't enjoy a few of these this season: Spaten Oktoberfest Märzen

GPU section updated, new builds incoming.

That HP has very good specs for the form factor, which can be overlooked in laptops. For gaming, there are stronger gaming laptops available (see offerings from ASUS [http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220700]), but they tend to be large and bulky, with poor battery life...

That's definitely a powerful build. You could save a bit on the case and motherboard, though, going with an fan [http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Antec-902-Nine-Hundred-Two-Plastic-Steel-ATX-Case-Window-without-PSU]. An optical drive wouldn't be a bad call, either :P

I just looked up GTX 460 prices in Europe...ouch. You're paying as much in Euros as we pay in dollars o_O If a 460 is out of your price range, I highly recommend looking at ATI's offerings. The 5770 is current and a solid card in your price range, and you might be able to find an older 4890...

Whew, big guns. You're definitely in the clear for a 460, with room to OC if you want.

Skinny jeans are alright on the truly emaciated. Everyone else looks weird in them. Now slim-cut suits, those I like.

Light exercise before breakfast is fine, just make sure you get some protein after you're done.

If your beard sucks, it only takes a few minutes to shave it off. Go for it.

Better be Myth. It's old enough to be new.

Long vacation. I should update the OP. The GTX 460 in 1GB flavor is a good card around that price range. It does require a fair chunk more power than the 9600GT, though; what model of power supply are you running?

Stamatis Kokotas - Gie Mou, Gie Mou (My Son, My Son) I heard an instrumental cover of it by Scars on Broadway and had to look up the original. Awesomesauce.

Microsoft Security Essentials [http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/].

How many console-exclusive gamers would switch to a PC if more games offered gamepad support?

CPU: The i5 750 is a quad-core, and there's no need for an i7 unless you're running multiple video cards (the i7 motherboards have better multi-GPU support). Video: Hardware PhysX is controlled by nVidia, and they won't allow it to be enabled on any system with an ATI GPU. If you want it...
