Hi
I'm looking for a gaming pc/laptop with prefreably the following specs-

Intel i7 processor
1gb dedicated graphics card
6gb ram

I seen a acer laptop for €649 with those specs but just wondering are they good enough specs for say battlefield 3 and is ther better options out there?

For gaming the main thing to look out for is the speed of the graphics card.

But its one thing you've left out of your spec. But that graphics card will dictate the whole machine.

If it is for gameing you would be better of with an i5 and a good graphics card over an i7 and an ok graphics card an i7 will be no better then an i5 when it come's to playing games.

When you mentioned a gaming pc,I'd say your best bet would be to Pc building/upgrading forum or order one from Amazon.de
