So after a misplaced thread I got directed here. I'm heading to college and getting a laptop from my parents. Budget is around 1000 euro's (roughly 1250 dollars) and I'm using it for average gaming and college coursework. I don't care much about graphics as long as it runs smoothly. Some games that I'd like to play on it are League of Legends or Tiberium Wars. Basically pretty recent titles on average settings. I'm really clueless as it comes to these things so after a bit of browsing of my own I came to this preassembled laptop. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/...A50-173203 My question is if I can find it somewhere cheaper or I should look at something differnt. I kind of just looked at the site, because it was referenced here, checked out gaming laptops and this had a lot of positive reviews in my budget range, but when I look at the specifics in detail, most of it doesn't mean anything to me. Finally how should I convince my mom that ordering online is safe and we won't get scammed out of all our money....

EDIT: So shipping costs are a bit expensive from tigerdirect. Does anyone know any good europian equivalent of such a site?
