Hey all,

Am sort of transitioning houses slowly so my desktop has been removed to storage at a relatives! I am however missing the odd gaming session so looking for something that can handle the above games?

I currently have an E6520 which has the following spec

i7 -2670qm
8gb ram
NVS 4200m (this is the issue)
Sammy 250gb ssd.

Now the laptop is fine for general usage, but TF2 is sort of 40-20fps with the 1920x1080 native panel resolution and it makes for a largely unplayable game! Can anyone tell me something I can look at second hand that will cope with the above games? Have seen a few laptops about with a gtx 960m but from what I've read this card isn't particularly amazing either and I'd be wanting to upgrade it to a 7970m or similar to get some ok performance from it?

I haven't braved installing diablo 3, as I think the 14gb download would probably net me 20 or so fps!

TL;DR - Spec me something old but capable for CS:S, TF2, D3 and CS:GO please? :)
 
Thanks Matt! Are these 960's typically soldered onto the board or on replaceable cards? I just fancy some light evening gaming time, have made do with a 680 on the desktop but would like a reasonable experience on a laptop too! :)
