I just realized I was describing it after I posted too . <| sep |> You can customize a GT 62 VR at ibuypower . com . They are offering $ 150 MIR as well as 5 % off all systems over $ 999 if you enter a code , that would bring the price close to $ 1 , 100 depending on the components you want . From what I ' ve seen that rebate is specific to that retailer . So if you are willing to deal with the hassle , you can get close to a $ 1 , 100 price point . They have a free upgrade to 16 GB but their SSD deals are constantly changing so you may luck out on a free upgrade to 512 GB from 256 GB or you may not , right now it ' s a free upgrade from 240 GB to 480 GB SSD but like I said it changes constantly . There ' s also a ton of freebies . They also have some other MSI models with varying MIRs if you want to sacrifice heat management for a smaller form factor . Another plus is that unless you live in California it should be sales tax free .
