Buying Pre-Built Gaming Laptop

For what? Your motherboard has a built in Ethernet connection. Just connect an Ethernet cable from your router.

sorry didnt really read up on it, thanks man helped me tons!

also would i need a sound card?

 

[mnewsham]

Onboard sound is good enough for anything shy of 5.1 and 7.1 speaker systems (and even low end ones work with onboard sound) or 300 dollar+ headphones.

I suggest a Newegg open box(when they pop up) G73sw for $899+free shipping. Add a 128gb SSD and you have a very fast, nice machine that runs VERY cool. I already had my SSD, but one you ditch the stock Win 7 install with all the bloatware and the meh 500gb HDD, the G73 is quite potent. I prefer the old style laptop keyboards rather than the raised chicklet-style, but that's pretty much my only gripe. I'd also suggest one for the new price, but I opted for an open box simply to save money...

OP: "Hey guys, I need a plane."
Nerds: "You can get a train for WAY cheaper. Here's the kind of train you should get..."

Not really a good analogy because the desktop is much faster than a laptop

It's more like:

OP: "I need a train"
Nerds: "You can get a plane that goes much faster, and for half the price"
OP: "Can it play crysis?"
