Asking this group when to stop making upgrades is like asking when it is ok to stop breathing...lol

Never! What is this sacrilege you speak! Stop upgrading!?! You must be mad, touched in your head I say!

Probably stop upgrading when the money runs out!

BTW welcome to the forums.

Well NVIDIA just released the 640, I believe.With the talk of "SSD'S" I'd just assume that was the next step?

I would think that going with SSD in a laptop is a very smart move. No spinning parts, hence no friction=less noise/less heat. Sounds optimal for a laptop or notebook. Just my opinion:)

Based on what you have there, I'd be looking at a new video card as my next upgrade. I'd grab the Radeon 7970m, or hell, if I could afford it, I'd get 2 for CF.

It is all up to you and what you want out of your computer, and what you want to put into it.

THXS again for the post;I guess the fact that I drive for a living;made the "SSD'S'' attractive.An with this build exclusively for only Gamming entertainment;to combine Maximum speed;with Graphical Splendor was my main focus.
