Thanks man, I mean it's no killer pc, but compared to a 4-6 year old laptop it's a monster.

What's funny is that people were saying "don't expect too much", but I was doing a ton of work with my laptop (video editing, gaming, etc), and this build destroys my laptop 10 fold.

I guess people get so sucked into technology that they forget how happy they were a few years ago with their now "old iphone/computer", and they "need" to upgrade every year.
