this will work great.this has an amd a10. which has a quad core processor with turbo boost up to 3.2 ghz. it also has 5 gb total graphics, which will cut through any games for the next four or five years like a hot knife through butter. just choose the amd a10 option and i think the ten dollar battery upgrade is an excellent upgrade. contact me if you need more help.

edit, it also comes with windows 7.a bonus.

Answer 2

Personally I use an Aspire V3-551-X419 for gaming:



AMD A10-4600M @ 2.7Ghz, Turbo to 3.2Ghz,

Radeon HD7660G built into the APU,

Radeon HD7670M 2GB (2024MB) in asymmetric crossfire with the HD7660G

Wireless a/b/g/n

6GB ram

750GB HDD



It runs modern games at medium to high settings... It's a bit cheaper than what you have in mind... but is distinctly the lesser machine.... Might still work of you want a cheaper machine as the game you mentioned has quite low requirements, but if you aren't very good with computers it'll be worse as getting the asymmetric crossfire to work with older games can be a challenge.



It's right on the cutting edge now, so it should last a fair while... though note that it's based on the second generation APUs, which are set to be replaced by the 3rd generation ones any day now... so you'll lose out a bit there.



Also I found it needed a cooling pad.



I can't think of any other gaming laptops that are reasonable of the top of my head (In that price range)



The Core i5 probably won't do you very well..... It's already relatively old - look for an intel i7, AMD A8, AMD 10, or at least an 'ivy bridge' i5.



Best of luck to you, either way

Answer 3

If you need it to last for another four years, then lenovo is not your best option. My brother previously had a lenovo computer which only lasted two. I personally own an HP computer which has much better build quality. Also, the i5 will not stand the test of time.

I recommend that you go to HP.com and costomize the ENVY dv6t-7300 Quad Edition to the following specs. You can add blu tooth if you want.

• Windows 8 64



• 3rd generation Intel Core i7-3630QM Processor (2.4GHz, 6MB L3 Cache)



• NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GT 650M Graphics with 2048MB of dedicated video memory



• 15.6-inch diagonal High Definition BrightView LED-backlit Display (1366 x 768)



• 8GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)



• 1TB 5400 rpm Hard Drive



• NO mSSD Hard Drive Acceleration Cache



• Microsoft Office Trial



• No additional security software



• 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery



• SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-R/RW with Double Layer Support



• Standard Keyboard



• HP TrueVision HD Webcam with integrated dual array digital microphone



• 802.11b/g/n WLAN

Thank you for considering this. I hope you look into HP for their higher build quality even though it may cost you a little more up front.

Answer 4

Ignore the guy hating on lenovos. Lenovo has MUCH better build quality than any HP. The lenovo laptop im using now has been dropped, slammed, and even thrown, and its still working after 3 years. (after a screen replacement of course) I also owned a HP laptop g60. It lasted about 1.5 years. It was never dropped or thrown or abused. Died from dead pixel screen, and harddrive failure.



Anyway, buba, Please listen to me, You will be MUCH happier if you build a desktop computer. If you don't want to build at least buy one. Here is 3 quick reasons why



1) Much cheaper to build

2)Last much longer than laptops

3)can be upgraded in the future



If you really need a gaming laptop because you travel alot then fine.

I looked at your specs and they seem pretty good. Should run most games high settings fine.



But please, choose the desktop if you can. Building one is not hard at all trust me. I felt the same way, but I tried and succeeded. now I have a 400 dollar desktop that will run all modern games at high settings.
