Would This Laptop Work?

Solution
We don't know BF1's requirements yet so we cant tell for sure. For BF4 and SWOTR it will work, however note that this is not a good laptop. It uses ddr3 instead of ddr4. You could consider getting an Asus/MSI for slightly more and it will include the intel i7 instead of the i5, along with ddr4 memory.

OK, thanks for the answer. Do you have a recommendation for a gaming laptop under 1k?

Thanks! I think I am going to go with the 17in since it is only 30$ cheaper for the 15in....

Agreed, definitely the 17incher. I am forced to game on a 15.6 (which is weak as well) and it is terrible. All I win is that its 1kg lighter, great deal... So if you can I would strongly advice going for the 17 incher.

I am thinking about Alienware AW17R3-1675SLV. Feel like I should get the extra cash just for the quality.

The extra cash you will throw will not be for the quality, because quality nowadays is pretty similar, however it will definitely be worth it since you will get a gtx 970m. And the jump in performance between the 960 and 970 is large.
