Default Should i buy this? Need help quick.

Alright, I told myself if i found a great deal like this again , i would so buy it.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1212192622683

I personally think that its a wonderful deal, 200gb hard drive, 3 gigs of ram, Geforce 8200M(which i think is good)

I am pretty much leaving the gameing market for PC's since i have an xbox 360, so the gfx isnt much of a hinder.

So what do you think? Should i go ahead and buy it today, then sell all the parts from my computer for like...100 bucks, to make up the cost to put back into savings?

Just realized it has no expansion card slot...do you think that will be a problem?

Looks like a decent laptop, though some might have beef with Compaq, but then again they probably dont like HP either. I think it will fit your needs fine. As for the expansion slot, both my laptops had the slots, and i never used them.

Welp, impulse buying got the best of me. I bought it :)

So be on the lookout for my for sale thread parting out my computer :)
