I was wondering if someone with a lot of gaming and computer knowledge could help me pick out a new laptop or desktop to buy. I am looking for one that will replace my current Alienware M17x which is playing the game okay, choppy on high settings, so I am forced to use low settings, but my laptop is SO HOT right now, and the secondary fan thing it sits on isnt doing anything to cool it off. It was $3k almost 3 years ago.
I am looking for a laptop or desktop that I can pay for over time. Using Dell for instance I was able to pay for this laptop over a two year period.
I currently have $500 and I have a credit card with a $3k limit that I can use in March/April.
I am looking for one that will not over heat, that will be able to play this game at the best possible settings, and one that will last for the next 4-5 years.
It would also be good if it was cost efficient. If you could link me to a build or something it would greatly help me!
I currently have this in my laptop:
Intel® Core2 Duo CPU T9800 @ 2.93GHz
2GB of Ram
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition (build 7600), 64-bit
GTX260m
