Advice on purchasing a new computer

[reignofdeath]

Ive been looking around for something that could possibly handle Sh5 on max as well as Skyrim and ArmaII and some other newer games and found this beauty on Amazon for like 1300. Its an Asus and Im seriously considering buying it my question is, how do you all feel it would run Sh5 with mods and games like Skyrim and SWTOR among a few based on the specs?

Very solid rig, but I'd look at PS ratings (for upgrade later as needed) and definitely get a bigger monitor. Otherwise its a solid machine.

Tis a Laptop, and I need somewhat portability since the military will keep me on the move, so the Monitor I'm not worried about, how much could the PS cost me though??

[CaptainHaplo]

See I missed its a laptop - never mind on the ps - as you won't really be able to upgrade the machine anyway.

Well, im not all too sure about maxing these games, Laptop GPUs are no where near their desktop counterparts, as in a 560M is not equivalent to a GTX 560.

But itll do you well for the most part. I would look up benchmark tests for this particular card. Everything else is fine, shouldnt be a hamper on gameplay too much if at all.

The 560m is what they use for laptop gaming rigs with a score of P2008 in 3DMark11 and P9180 in 3DMark Vantage.
