Not sure on new laptop?

[burgergetsbored]

Really not sure on what to do about a new laptop. I need a new one within the next month really as my current one is a bit slow.... The dell that I've been looking at I can get down from £1000 ish to £750 with a 15% off voucher and up to 10% off with quidco. But I'd like to use the laptop for some decent gaming (dead island, mw3, bf3, fallout vegas) And I'm worried being a fairly lowend-medium card it might not cover it. But I also don't really want to be paying more. Is this the best card/laptop I'm going to be getting for my money? Thanks.

The video card will bottleneck your gaming experience. At best you can set games to medium quality.

Since most games are GPU intensive rather than CPU intensive, my recommendation is to drop down to a dual core CPU and get a faster video card. Having a faster video card will give your laptop more longevity when you play more demanding games.

That wasn't an option. This card is the best dell seem to do without moving to a alienware laptop. The CPU also definitely has to be a i5 or i7.

ah sorry I'm in the UK, the graphics are very poor on that anyway 😛 Thanks for the suggestion though! Ended up buying that dell laptop last night anyway, should be here this weekend!
