So I have been looking for a laptop for light/medium gaming as well as general tasks. Some people have linked me to useful places. I have found this:

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notebook Display 1 x 43,9 cm (17.3") Full-HD CHIMEI N173HGE-L11 (1920*1080) Matte 

 

Graphics Card 1 x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M 6144MB GDDR5 

 

Processor 1 x Intel Core i5-4690S | Quad Core | 4 Threads | 3,2 - 3,9GHz | TDP: 65 Watt 

 

Memory 1 x 8GB (1x8192) SO-DIMM DDR3 RAM 1600MHz Crucial 

 

SSD Drive 1 1 x 120GB m.2 SSD Kingston (SM2280S3/120G) £58.33 SSD Drive 2 1 x No SSD 

 

Hard Drive 1 1 x 750GB SATA-III 7200rpm Western Digital Black (WD7500BPKX) 

 

Optical Drive 1 x No External Optical Drive 

 

WIFI Card 1 x Intel Wireless-AC 3160 (with Bluetooth) £9.17 Keyboard 1 x Backlit Keyboard UK 

 

Warranty 1 x Standard Warranty : 24 Month Collect & Return (inc parts, labour, support, shipping) 

 

Operating System 1 x Microsoft Windows 8.1 64 Bit English

 

Office Software 1 x Microsoft Office 365 30-day trial version (only when Windows 7 or 8 is ordered)

 

Power Cable 1 x UK Power Cable 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Is this worth it for £1,400 ($2148) (€1928.82)? If you know any better UK places to a laptop from other than http://www.mysn.co.uk/? (because this is where it is from). Thanks in advance.

Try to make it easier to read! No need to tell us about 24 month return :D

Either way, a 970M for £1400 is a great price!
