OK so not really a new build but close enough.

Basically I'm looking for a new laptop with a budget in mind, and have narrowed it down to two options.

One is an HP for 699 on sale (NZD)

And has an A6-6310 processor, 8gb ram, 500gd had and a r7 m260 2gb.

The other is an acer for 849, with a A8-7100B processor, 8gb ram, 1tb + 8gb said, and a r7 m265.

Both have dvd drives and 1366*768 screens. I plan to put a boot ssd in whatever one I get. I don't think I'd use the extra hdd space, so do you guys think the CPU an gpu is worth the extra?

Thanks!

Yeah I've had some bad experience with hp laptops too. I remember acer used to be pretty terrible a while back too though

There was a Dell I was looking at with an i7 and a gt840m for 999 but unfortunately that was a sale offer.

If you've got any other ideas (I'm in new Zealand remember, hit me!!)
