RAM etc

Not sure why people are saying 4gb for serious gaming lmao

But I do think you should get a light up keyboard - you won't regret it

Get the backlit keyboard, they're much more useful than you would ever think.

A light up keyboard seems a bit of a waste. You have something called a screen which does the duty of a light for you, unless you have really bad eye sight?

3GB is fine, but 4GB if you want just to make it a bit future-proof

You've obviously never used a backlit keyboard then. Even with the backlight brightness on full on my MBP the keyboard is pretty hard to see without the backlight. Backlit keyboards are incredibly useful.

Don't need to, I can obviously see my laptop keyboard without one It really depends if you hope to use a laptop in complete darkness quite often. It's one of those things you can live without seeing as you have a perfectly good lightswitch that provides light all year round.

I would stick with 3GB as that is fine for what you do, also the screen usually lights up the keyboard for me lol but I suppose it would make it look nice. How much does it all come to and will you be building it yourself?

Well I thought I'd picked what I wanted then I found another one.

Dell Studio 15,
500GB 7200rpm
4GB
i3 processor
Standard WLED screen
1gb ati mobility radeon graphics (5470 or something)
Standard keyboard
Black chainlink design

£530 after discounts and stuff. It was either this, or,

500gb 5400rpm
3gb
Design studio design on the cover

For £50 more. Wasn't worth it just for a design imo

That's what I thought! Backlit keyboards are actually REALLY GOOD. The screen doesn't light the keyboard up surprisingly

3GB RAM is plenty as it is, I use 2GB on my lappy and I manage to play Modern Warfare 2 and other games fine.
