Basically, I have an HP Pavilion dv6 laptop that I use for everything at the moment. It can handle most games pretty well- I'm not overly bothered about having everything on max settings.
However, it's overheating and crashing despite good care because I've realised I've run it into the ground by using it as a gaming PC.
So I want to look for a machine that is more capable of sustained gaming, but to be honest I'm not happy with the size of normal PCs (for reasons such as portability and storage which are important to me), so I'm interested to see if there are smaller form PCs available that will make for a decent gaming machine.
Not looking for anything special, just something that will let me run most modern games and last me a couple of years but it won't overheat or let me down within a few months of use like a laptop can and has. Any suggestions?
EDIT: I suppose a price range maximum of £500 is what I'm looking for, but like I say I don't need a super-high res monster, just something that can handle modern games on good settings.
