Laptop help please...

[catbert]

Hello im looking at buying a laptop as a desktop replacement which will be used mainly for gaming such as guild wars 2 and bf3 so it needs to be reasonabily specced... The screen size does not matter to much as ill be hooking it up to my TV the most of the time....

I have about £600 to spend give or take a little but I have just come across this spec of laptop:

•Inspiron 17R - 5720
•Processor: Intel Core i5-3210M ( 2.50 GHz )
•Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium
•6 GB DDR3 Dual Channel 1600MHz (2 DIMMs)
•1 TB SATA Hard Drive (5400 RPM)
•8X DVD+/-RW Drive
•Display : 17.3 Inch High Definition+ (900p) WLED TrueLife
•Graphics : 1 GB Nvidia GeForce GT 630M
•English Genuine Windows 7 SP1 Home Premium (64Bit OS)
•Back Up Media Not Included
•Wireless : Dell Wireless 1704 Card
•LCD Back Cover : Moon Silver Switch Cover
•Battery : Primary 6 Cell 48W/HR
•Internal Qwerty Keyboard

Do you think this is a really good buy for £456.54 or have you any other reccomendations for the £500-£620 mark?

Thanks,

Rob.

You probably need a gt650 if you want to play bf3. I 'think' the 17se inspiron come with them and so can be picked up on the outlet cheap. Not 100% on the graphics card in them but fairly sure thats what it said in a review i read.
