How well would this gaming laptop do?

[Alex1092387456]

Looking to play, BF4, BF3, GTA 5 that sort of thing at decent settings.

Looking to run Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere.

Specs:
Intel i7 4910MQ (2.90GHz) 8MB
8GB KINGSTON SODIMM DDR3 1600MHz (willing to upgrade to 12 or 16gb if that will help).
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M - 2.0GB (this is the top choice for this laptop, willing to upgrade to higher one if that will help).

I'm going to get one from: pcspecialist.co.uk/laptop-computers/, if the above won't cut and or you want to know more or reccomend another one, please have a look.

Thanks,
Alex.

If you want to play those games at decent settings then I'd recommend you get the 870m. There's a surprisingly large jump in performance between the 860m and the 870m but the price difference isn't too much. I know you're using PS, AE and Premiere but you could always lower the processor to the 2.5Ghz i7 because the 2.9Ghz won't make a whole lot of difference and the price difference is huge.

As for the RAM, 8GB is fine for gaming but you might want 16GB for PS, AF and Premiere.

Thank you, although I'm not still not sure about the processor. But you have helped a lot .

Thanks,

though processor isn't worth it. Save your money and just get the 4700. I don't think the performance increase is worth the extra £100+

According to this the 4910MQ leaves the 4700HQ in the dust.

Apparently i cant read early in the morning... Thought dasulman was saying the 4700 was better.
