Around what FPS Would i be able to play at and how much would u spend on this laptop

[iplaytokill]

Humm, u gonna lack cause of your cpu.. Don't expect nothing more than low/med settings to play 25mans

[Dugler]

would u surgest going with a desktop then the guy wants 650$ for the laptop n i wanated to see if it was good or not

It's old tech. Not worth $650 in my eyes, especially not if it's second hand.

I would personally strongly recommend a desktop for gaming. If you are comfortable building it yourself, get something alongside this:

Budget Gaming 550

MoBo: MSI H67MS-E23 – $74.99 CPU: Intel i3 2100 – $124.99 RAM: Corsair 1600MHz 2x2GB – $34.99 GPU: HIS Radeon 6870 – $169.99 HDD: WD Caviar Blue 500Gb – $44.99 PSU: XFX ProSeries 450W – $59.99 Review Case: NZXT Gamma Classic – $35.99 Review Estimated Total Price – $546

Add Windows 7 Home Premium for around $100 and you are set (assuming you have mouse, keyboard and a screen). Will outperform the listed laptop with a very large margin.

$650 should get you an i5 laptop >.> yea build a desktop for $700ish or more it will definitely work better unless you need a laptop in which case

i sold all my computer parts not to long ago , so thats why the laptop looked apealling D: id need to buy a screen / mouse / keyboard

I would probably not pay more than 400-500 for that laptop since it is used. It has a decent mid range graphics card which lacks DX11 support and it also has a pretty darn old dual core CPU which would struggle in games like WoW (25 mans to be exact).

As already mentioned, for $600-700 you can get an i5 laptop which would have a faster CPU and roughly an equally fast DX 11 capable GPU:

That's only an additional $100-150 or so, and you would need to buy a mouse for a laptop anyway, since nobody wants to game on a touchpad. I would highly recommend getting a desktop for gaming, especially if you already have an OS, or can get one from "another source".
