****I probably gave too much information but im not so much of a computer guy myself. I usually play SC2, sometimes WoW, league of legends, and i might buy some steam games. is this PC going to handle these and future games? And one last question, can I upgrade this computer? Like on a tower you can change this___ with a newer/better one, but can you do that same on a laptop?
