The cost of the laptop is too high for what you can already get. That setup is missing a lot... I just purchased my laptop a few days ago. Here's the two I was stuck between. The cost for the ASUS is $1200 and the MSI is $1250 after rebate. If you're willing to spend $150, I recommend you do what I did. I bought the MSI and a 120GB SSD to go with. The last link is the SSD I bought. ($150 after rebate)

If you have a Dell account, you can always look into the Dell outlet (refurbished) machines... "Usually" they are much cheaper. I picked up the M17X R2, 2010 model for little over a grand off the original price.
