    Looks quite good

    one part stood out as glaringly stupid though:
    Gigabyte provides a 64-bit install on the 128GB SSD, and reserves a 10GB chunk of said drive to act as a recovery partition. The 1TB hard disk remains untouched
    *facepalm*

    Why on earth would you put the most rarely-used large chunk of data you're ever likely going to get on this laptop on the high-performance and low-capacity drive? Makes no sense at all...

    Mention of whether the screen is IPS or TN or something else would be v useful.
    Sorry if I missed it.

    As for storage, I'd get the base config and install my own 256GB SSD and use the HDD as secondary. 128GB SSD is too small for a gaming machine where you really want space for games on the actual SSD is possible. Just IMHO.
