Hello all, I had found a deal that I posted about before and sadly it turned out the guy was a scammer. So now I'm looking for a new laptop, cheaper is better, but I'm looking for best bang for my buck. I'm looking to play games: Dota 2, Eve online, WoT, Diablo 3, etc etc. I don't bring the...

Usually when it's something like that I'd first check the battery, then the ac adapter, then it gets expensive and annoying. After that it's probably the power supply or the motherboard, at least in my experience, and since you're out of warranty and the model is really outdated, if it's not the...

Most of those are pretty similar. Just slight differences in the gpu's for the most part. I personally would probably get the msi out of that batch, but that's just my liking msi as a brand. I think the acer is probably the best bang for your buck, but I don't like acer as a general rule. The...

It's going to be not much... You can buy better than that for $200-300 brand new nowadays. So perhaps, $50-150...

As I listed above, $850 for the used Valkyrie and $1100 for the new MSI

It's a tough call... I'm personally a fan of Asus, and that comes with 6gb ram, and a bigger hd. But the integrated gpu is garbage. The acer is probably going to be your better bet for playing games, just because of the gpu. But I really don't like the 4gb of ram. Good luck!

So I'm looking at two notebooks. There is a pretty significant price difference, but there is also a kicker that makes this a two part question. I'm looking at a MSI GX60 1AC-021US VS. an Ibuypower Valkyrie cz-17 (slighly older version) I'll post the specs for both at the end. Here is the...
