Hi folks, hoping to get some advice. I've been looking around for a little bit, and have come up with the Samsung SF310, but I don't know if the graphics card will cut it, and I'd rather an i7. Budget: ideally around €800, but could stretch (read max-it-out) it to €1500 for the dream machine. Intended use: It'll get used…

Hi folks, hoping to get some advice. I've been looking around for a little bit, and have come up with the Samsung SF310, but I don't know if the graphics card will cut it, and I'd rather an i7.

Budget: ideally around €800, but could stretch (read max-it-out) it to €1500 for the dream machine.

Intended use: It'll get used for work (visio, ms office, internet) but I'm looking for it to run Civilisation 5* nicely.

Mobility: not more than 15inch screen - ideally 13

Warranty: not important - I'll fix it myself

Any help greatly appricated.

*Civ 5 spec: Civilization 5 minimum hardware / system requirements:
OS: Windows XP SP3 / Windows Vista SP2 / Windows 7
Processor: Dual Core
RAM: 2 GB
8 GB free space
VGA: 256 MB ATI 2600 XT / NVidia 7900 GS or better video card or integrated graphics on the Core I3 or better.
DirectX: 9.0c
