XPS M1730 Custom Laptop?

Wow, that's a lot of power, and a lot of money. I have a dell XPS M1530 with a Pentium Dual Core, 4Gig RAM, 120Gig HD, Nvidia 8000 series video card and it does excellently with gaming. Personally, I couldn't see spending that much on a laptop. I got mine for a third of the price and haven't been sorry. So, to answer your question, yes it would be great for gaming, but I think a lot of the specs you chose are a bit superfluous.
