    Thoughts on this laptop build?

    I'm thinking about this unit, configured (@ $2212) as follows

    - 17.3" FHD 16:9 "Matte Type" Super Clear Ultra Bright LED Anti-Glare Screen (1920x1080) (SKU - SSC002)
    - Sager - 4th Generation Intel® Haswell Core™ i7-4810MQ (2.8GHz - 3.8GHz, 6MB Intel® Smart Cache) (SKU – SPU401)
    - NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 870M (6.0GB) GDDR5 PCI-Express DX11 [User Upgradeable] (SKU – GPU15X)
    - 16GB DDR3 1600MHz [2x8GB] Dual Channel Memory (SKU - RAM04S)
    - 250GB Samsung 840 EVO Series mSATA SSD - Preconfigured as an OS Drive ( Operating System – Drive C: )
    - 1TB 7200RPM [SATA II - 3GB/s] (SKU - HDD097)
    - 1TB 7200RPM [SATA II - 3GB/s] (SKU - HDD094)
    - HDD Raid Settings - OFF
    - 6X Blu-Ray Reader + 8X DVDRW/CDRW Super Multi Combo Drive (Sager) (SKU - ODD084)
    - Sager - Intel® Dual Band AC 7260 802.11 A/AC/B/G/N 2.4/5.0GHz + Bluetooth™ 4.0 (SKU - WIFI94)
    - Internal 9-in-1 Card Reader (MMC/RSMMC/SD/Mini SD/SDHC/SDXC/MS/MS Pro/MS Duo)
    - Integrated Digital Video Camera
    - Sound Blaster Compatible 3D Audio - Included
    - Smart Li-ion Battery (8-Cell)
    - Windows 7 Professional Premium 64-Bit (64&32-Bit CD Included)
    - Sager 3 Year Parts & LIFETIME Ltd Labor Warranty w/ Lifetime 24/7 DOMESTIC Customer Support - Special! (SKU - WTY097)
    - 3 Year - Two Way Ground Shipping Coverage for Sager Warranty Repairs (Canada) (Must be Combined with Sager 3 Year Parts & LIFETIME Ltd Labor Warranty)
    Intended use is WoD and any other games I want to throw at it run at high settings at native resolution. As the warranty suggests, I plan on using this for several years to come, so future proofing is desired.

    Is this good for the price? Does any one have any suggestions regarding alternations this build or alternatives to it?

    About as future proof as a laptop can get, pretty sick rig. Although why not just buy a desktop that will continue to be future proof as long you keep upgrading?

    Because moving a desktop between towns on a weekendly basis gets old fast, as I head out to my mom's place on the weekends (spending 2 days a week away from my cousins/roommates keeps things friendly). I'm also out of town for my job a couple or three weeks a year.
