To begin, I'll just say I havent been keeping up with computer tech at all. Secondly, when I buy I am usually looking for value and budget builds, so 2k for a laptop is pretty beefy for me.
First question, can I get a laptop that will be as good or better than my current desktop for games at this bugdet? E8400, Nvidia 260GTX, 8GB RAM
If that isn't possible, I may have to rethink everything. My ultimate goal is to be able to hook up the laptop at either my desk or home theater to game.
I don't care too much about screen size, battery life, or portability. In either main usage scenario I'll be using other monitors and have it plugged in. I have a netbook and smartphone for traveling, so it doesn't need to be carry-on friendly or anything, I probably won't even be bringing it.
The 2k needs to be all inclusive. I'd like to get a set of wireless peripherals (headset,mic, keyboard), and maybe an extra brick and plug which needs to fit in the budget. I am not a super picky gamer either, if it can run things smoothly at 1080p, I'll probably be happy.
Anyone have any opinions or recommendations? Things for me to research? TIA!
