helping my mate

^^^Above is about right, most gaming laptops now have HD screens so you need big balls to drive it. You may find some stuff a year old for around £800 that may be ok but thats also the price to START from if you buy new.

good shout waiting for kaveri i think. from what i have read kaveri should be a great budget gamer, i really look forward to seeing what overclockers can get that thing to do.

just not sure what speed ram, as its going to be crossfired with the R7 260x, i think i should probable get the fastest

looks like good choices so far, that being said that may change closer to the time.
i imagine the kaveri flagship will crossfire properly with the r7 260x, given they both are recently designed chips and both should have Trueaudio, again what gpu is supposed to properly crossfire with the apu will be known closer to the time.
As for ram i imagine it will be like Trinity and Richland with fast ram helping performance by a good margin.
We will need to wait until the apus are released and reviews are out before any real recommendations can be made. ATM this is mostly speculation

yeah i know bud, i will just mark up as the fastest ram for now, just so i can get a general idea of costs an shiz

The Kaveri GPU is equivalent to a 7750. I would assume crossfire up to a 7770 would work since they are based on the same core.

so the r7 260x is not the right choice?

I have no idea. The only card(s) we know 100% that will work in crossfire is the 7750. They are slated to release on Jan 14th so we should know more by then.
