Hi everybody, I'm about to buy a brand new laptop (my second after I quit pc for about a year now) and I wanna know if the following specs suits me:

CPU: i7 4500U (up to 3.0ghz)

RAM: 8GB

Graphics card: Radeon HD 8850M 2GB GDDR5

HDD: 1TB

The games I'm looking to play are mostly CS:GO on ultra settings, GTA Online when it comes to pc next January and FIFA 15 and pretty much All the games out there too,the last two I don't really care if it's on ultra so it goes for every game (a mix of medium and ultra or high is fine)

The laptop is a Dell 3537-i7

I can't get a desktop setup for personal reasons so please no mention of it

Thank you very much.

I think it might. Is there any sort of budget that you were looking at? I know many good laptops that can handle whatever you throw at it. For about $100 more (assuming that that costs about $1000) you can get this

It won't struggle to run GTA online although I'm not sure that they have released a recommended specs list though.

What's your budget?

Dont have a precise budget but it's probably between 600 to 800 bucks.

But I really want this one, anything above 800 is impossible due to tight budget.

HP Envy 15T is also good. But I think the Dell is the safest bet. You can always buy a preowned one which will be better and cost 800 bucks

I have the 7850M video card and a worse CPU and it handles all games on medium settings quite well. I'd suggest upgrading the ram to 12 or 16GB at max speeds for best performance. You want a 7.9 for ram on WEI

More RAM doesn't make much difference, and higher speed RAM makes even less. 8GB is plenty for any game. For $800 that isn't a bad deal.
