HELP!!! I'm a MAJOR gamer and love pc games but I have a "crappy" laptop (and Emachines e528) and have a LOT of games. {Now before you start nagging "Just buy a new pc," I am a 14 year old and I have no way of getting a job. (Who's to blame: >Child Labor Laws<) I have 3 YouTube channels (Links will be below) and I am just starting out but I hope for it to become a place where people can come to have a good time or just to lighten up there spirits, like Markiplier. So please all suggestions are appreciated.

Do what every other 14 Year Old has to do. Ask your parents/guardians for a better system (there are no upgrade options). If they say, "No", so be it. Wait until you can get a job and buy your own system. However, regardless of what your parents decide, take this bit of advice:

Stay in school. Study hard. Get good grades. Even if it cuts into your game time. Do that and in 8 to 10 years, you'll probably be able to afford whatever computer components you want, when you want.

Mow lawns, pull weeds, clean houses, offer to run to the store for old folks in your neighborhood...seriously, just because you're 14 and cant get an official job doesn't mean there aren't opportunities. Work hard dude!

Is this advertising or a question?

You should change screen res to 1280x720 and make all graphical settings lowest.

there are also a number of "low specs patches" which will give you more FPS.

I ran far cry 3 `~40fps with 2GB ram, i3-3217u 1.8ghz and integrated graphics
