I don't know much about computer hardware as I never had the money or the balls to replace parts or build my own computer. Parts are pretty expensive here.
I am going to, however, build a machine with these specs:
I won't need a GPU yet as I won't be playing games.

Depending on price difference, the sandy bridge 2500k is way better than the 2400
I can't believe a sh*tty Seagate HDD costs $420... what's the conversion rate?

Actually is R$420 which is like 250 dollars.
SRWare Iron is supposed to be Chrome without Google sneaking behind ya but all they do is disable some features and stop you from enabling them.
Comodo Dragon is a bit sluggish but that's just because my computer sucks.
I use Chromium and couldn't be happier.

I assume the plan is to boot from the SSD and use the HDD as 2ndary?

Oh, that's not as bad as I thought, but still, that HDD would be like $120 here and thanks

Overclocking is gay.I am somewhat concerned about my laptop hitting 70+ C while I'm playing TF2, but I guess it is okay.

That's pretty much it. I am also going to be using the SSD to run slower applications like heavy games(but that's for when I get a GPU).
Recently I've become really interested in AI. I think I'll check some text on AI and steal some of dad's neurology books and see what I can do.

Laptop gaming is fail Considering I didn't have any increase in voltage or peak temperatures, and my idle temperature is somehow lower now, there was really no reason for me to not get 20% more performance from my computer. Just saying.

There isn't? I think you can still run 32 bit chromium on x64 windoze though.
