Hello everybody, I usually just look at old articles here on TomsHardWare, but today I need some advice :p.

I'm looking to upgrade from my old Toshiba Satellite(Junk) to the Acer Aspire V5-571-6869.

But I have a few questions,

Is this laptop good for gaming? High FPS on games such as Diablo3, WOW, Assassin's Creed, etc. Really any modern game :p.

Does this laptop have a changeable GPU?

Thanks, if anymore questions come to mind, I'll add them :).

no you can't change the GPU in a laptop unless you have a pci slot and get a external but those don't really come on laptops anymore and where a pain in the but so its discontiuned on newegg and i seen it was $500 so get this i found http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834215662 the hardrive is kinda slow so it will have slower load times but a i5 dual core and a gtx 630m should play the games you listed decently i would say to build a desktop for gaming but you want a laptop

The V3 you linked me to doesn't look too bad, thanks for the reply :)!

How would I go about building a gaming desktop? A few of my friends have done stuff of this nature, I'd love to try it :p
