For all games

[vjsingh3663]

Is this specifications ((Core i5 4210U/4GB/1TB/Windows 8.1/2GB Graphics Card) of my laptop is good for gaming or which thing I have to upgrade?

What's the exact GPU? Just knowing the VRAM is insufficient.

It's unlikely you can make any meaningful upgrades; the vast majority of laptops only have RAM and hard drives with plausible upgrade paths.

i would get 8GB for it, use Crucial's website to get compatible ram. Put an SATA SSD into that for a boot drive and it will be like a brand new machine.

waste.

Laptops are usually not worth it to upgrade, especially when you're looking to upgrade the GPU.

You'd end up spending nearly what a new, MUCH faster desktop would cost.

An i5-4210U + 830M should be able to "run" the vast majority of titles out there today, at 1366x768.

Not going to be cranking up the eye candy on a lot of games, but they should be able to be played - albeit probably at low settings more often than not.

The on glaring issue with that laptop is the 4GB RAM. You'd benefit from a minimum of 8GB there.

An SSD would be nice, over the 5400rpm drive - but it's not going to impact much beyond load/save times.

My HP laptop specifications says ram is expandable up to 8 gb. can I upgrade it to 12 is it safe or create problem and is it worth to upgrade for gaming
