Sorry if I put way too info in this, I didn't want to miss anything. I want to be able to play most modern games on Medium settings. I also wondered if 6GB of ram is enough (because my desktop has 8GB) and if the display is big enough, etc. The biggest question is is this the best I can do for 570$? Because I am really tight on this money. Thanks.
