Hi, I am in the need of a new laptop, which i mainly need for school work. However, I also wanted a low-mid range laptop to run newer games on medium/high settings at atleast 30 FPS. The games I am looking to play are battlefield 3 / 4, skyrim, watch dogs, the sims 3/4, CS GO, Civilization V, Sniper Elite, and fallout 4. My budget, finally, is $850. Right now I am looking at this guy right here:

It's an Asus with a I7 4720hq CPU, 1TB hard drive ( only 5400rpm :( ), Nvidia 960m 2GB GDDR5, and 8GB of DDR3 Memory... The OS is Windows 10, which is nice with directX 12... The screen is full hd at 1920x 1080 which I wouldn't mind bringing down to about 720p for gaming.


Any other suggestions would be fantastic! I am looking for a reasonable priced 965m, and by some luck a 970m in my price range.


What do you think??? I think this is honestly the best I can do in my budget... I know I should build a gaming pc, but that's not my intention... I need a laptop for school and just wanted a plus of a light gaming setup... Besides, I have built pcs, but end up selling them due to lack of use...

Thanks for all your help!!!

Hi, I don't think you can get much better than this http://goo.gl/WjZTol you might find one with some better vram if you look a bit further . It's a bit above your budget but I guess it will play some descend games. If you want to get a 970 you probably won't find it for under 1000$. I think this is the best you can buy within your budget.
