This is the card I am getting (owner is moving to a 6990M):

Will leave me with the following specs:

2720QM ES 8mb (3.13ghz 8 thread turbo, 104.4mhz base clock tweak)
GTX570M 1.5GB GDDR5 @ 850/1700/1800
8GB Kingston Hyper-X 1600 C9 @ 1670 DDR
2x 64GB Crucial M4 SSDs in raid 0
15.6" 1080p LED LCD
Bluray drive
Bigfoot Killer-N 1102
180W PSU
 
I'm afraid to add everything up lol.

You can keep the cost more reasonable by buying the 16F2 barebone with the 570M already installed and going for a normal HDD.

The graphics card + power brick was £300, though I am selling my old card to get some of that back and made up the rest with other old parts I have sold.

16F2 - £600
GPU - £300
CPU - £130
MEM - £75
SSDs - £150
Wireless - £30
180W PSU - £30

- £140ish for GPU being sold

it should be a nice little runner, i had a 6970m which is equiv to a 570m im now running a 6990m also, its about 20% faster. my 6990m plays bf3 completely maxxed at 45fps so yours should get 35:)
 
Do you have an overclock? Because if not mine will come out ahead :)

EDIT: Dirt 3 ultra preset, 1920x1080p, 2xAA = 43.50 AVG, 30.55 MIN

i had it at 827mhz but its just at stock now i only really play tf2, i came from 2 560gtx in sli so its just pointless as ill never be happy hahah but i just love portability too much, like now, instead of having to get out of my bed and get hunchback in the freezing cold, i can snuggle up and play some tf2.
 
To give you an idea:

Stock = 575/1150/1500
Overclock = 825/1650/1920
Percentage = 43%/28%

That puts it ahead of the GTX580M at stock.
