Okay, so for Christmas my parents got me the new 15 inch Macbook Pro, but it's the 2.0GHz model. I am a relatively hardcore gamer, and it would really drive me crazy to have to cripple the gameplay of some games to get them to work on this new computer. Obviously, I plan on running Bootcamp to play things like Path of Exile, and will also play things that are rather intensive, like GTA V as well as BioShock Infinite.

Now, I understand that if I really wanted to be serious about PC gaming I should really just get a PC instead of a Mac, but thats just not they way I am going to go.

So, my question is: should I dump the money to get the more powerful 2.3 GHz 15 inch Pro? Is it worth it? I know that the 2.3 has a different setup with its graphics card, and i've read that that is pretty important. Obviously I don't know much about PC gaming, but thats why i'm looking to you guys.

Thanks in advance.

If you want to game, DO NOT GET A MAC! Try to get a refund, ill wait right here, got the money? Good. Do you want a laptop? Are you really sure you need to game on the go? If so, get a gaming laptop from MSI, look for one with a good graphics card (A Nvidia GTX 76X M or a AMD Radeon HD X9XX M/R9 2XX M) or higher values (The X can be any number). I highly recommend you build a desktop though.
