    Hey! I'm looking at buying the Acer Aspire 5755G from simplyacer.com for around €600.

    The specs are as follows:

    8 GB RAM.
    i5 Processor.
    500GB HDD.
    Nvdea GT 630M 1GB Graphics.

    Would these specs be suitable for gaming?

    Specifically GTA IV? I've heard you need "beefy" specs. Do this count? Haha.

    30 fps at low settings...

    Although bear in mind the console version is locked at 30FPS anyway, IIRC. You'll get console-quality (or slightly better) performance/graphics, is the simplest way to put it.

    Oh right, that makes sense. I'm not really into super high quality graphics, tbh. I wouldn't be unhappy with console settings...
