Creep

Well maybe I will just give it a try this weekend.What is the worst that can happen? I will try the 30H stock bios and if all goes well I will give the unlocked bios a try.

My Msi GT780 has a bios version 3.09 and I was wondering if it is compatible with the 30H version? The reason I am asking is because I seem to remember there was two motherboard revisions and you couldn't mix up the bioses. I would love to try one of the unlocked bioses but I cant seem to find any information about the GT780 bios history and i am a little scared to brick my laptop.

I think I would have to go with the MSI GT72 Dominator Pro also. You should be able to find one in your price range.

Amazon has a Dell XPS UHD 15 for $1709.99 which should do well for your purposes with enough left over for maybe a larger SSD or another 1 TB HDD
