I need help deciding what to get.

I kind of want one with:

7200 RPM (Would prefer a solid state but not sure if I feel like spending the extra cash on it and it's hard to find them in my price range with the other stuff that I want)

Probably want 4 to 8GB of RAM

A decent dedicated graphics card (1-2GB). I mostly play League of Legends but I might get back into D3 and some other game I forgot the name of when I get a better system.

and probably the Intel i7 Processor.


I'm not sure about getting a 15" but if it's much cheaper and won't interfere with screen size requirements of games then I will probably go for that. Otherwise it'll be 17"

I'm looking to spend about $500 to $1000 on this rig.

Please help me find the best deals!!!

And let me know if I'm hopeless in expecting to find a good computer I want for the price range! Thank you!

Buy the y500 now and throw in a cached ssd later for double performance (even with its sata II).

Daaamnnnn! Wish I could snag that deal in US, it cost a bit more here; http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/webca/LenovoPortal/en_CA/catalog.workflow:item.detail?GroupID=458&Code=59371970&category_id=E9A8C337FA7284328C5C21BDE242DF56

Even if I could find that deal, estimated ship times are horrible Estimated ship date: 07/05/13****
