-Backlit keyboard.

CM Storm QuickFire TK - Compact Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with CHERRY MX Blue Switches

-A laptop.

if you want to use a laptop for gaming enjoy 3 hours max playtime before needing to do a hard shutdown for cooling

-Windows 7.

fair enough but you can just torrent w7 and get it for free on any pc

-Can run BF4 on ultru with no lag.

on a gtx titan bf4 runs at ~45 fps on max. a gtx titan is about $1,000. it's a poorly optimized game.

-Has a "Pay 45$ a month plan" because I'm poor.

why would you buy a laptop about $1000 more than it's worth if you're poor

the problem with gaming laptops is exactly what i said, cooling.

you can get high end hardware but at the end of the day its ventilation comes from the bottom, which is mostly blocked off by, you know, setting it on something

Mhm, you can get a 500-600$ budget build that will max BF4 on ultra

Or you can just get a ps4.

Alienware is decent, but overpriced

so tl;dr alw is for ppl with money

WHATT, my Radeon HD 6870 runs it at 70 fps, on Ultra, with anti-whatever it's called toned down.

i also run a 6870 and i can guarantee you that if i torrent bf4 right now i won't max it

if so, a $100 card maxing a top tier, next gen game only weakens SWAT's case.

Altair, Battlefield 4 also relies heavily on CPU.

Buy AMD processors, game developers model their games after them because the gamer population can afford them better.

GTX 660-680 also runs on par if not a little worse than the Titan, it's 300 dollars but it's a great buy.

RAM is relatively inexpensive, note you can also salvage it from junked computers, which is free.

You can salvage a hard drive from junked computers.

You can salvage a power supply from junked computers.

SLI is available when you're ready to upgrade.

Lesson of the day, use craigslist to pick up free computers, salvage the parts guys.

You can also get free computer cases that way.
