wanted to find the cheapest laptop i could to play games on medium to high and so I came across this do you guys think its good?
barebone: msi ge600
http://www.cometsupply.com/mp/MSI/pm/MSI167532001/r/gg/ $258
CPU: i3-330m
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116463 $35
ram : corsair 8gb 1333
http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-1333mhz-PC3-10666-204-pin-CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9/dp/B002YUF8ZG/ref=sr_1_26?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1345090237&sr=1-26
$40
i will use the ssd in my current laptop {vertex 3} as a boot drive. Total: $333!
also this laptops graphics card can be upgraded because it uses an mxm slot
the hd 5730m in the laptop performs like a 6650m
it has a dedicated button for graphic switching so no graphics issues and a subwoofer

So... buy a complete machine if at all possible, don't build up from the ground. Not worth it.


But then again, my ASIC reading was at 74.9%, which is pretty bad. Most of them read around 85% and essentially it translates into how well they will overclock, since the GPU can't be overvolted.
