Over the past year ive noticed that i dont play as many games as i used to,out of the 12 ive bought this year ive only finished two and i tend to only play minecraft and starcraft 2.

specs
phenom 2 x6 1090t

Nice, is that an hk416 body? Where do you play?

I would recommend splitting the pc down as its much easier to sell. Also consider keeping the monitor keyboard and mouse then you can just hook the laptop up whilst at your desk and enjoy the larger real estate.

With regards to the laptop tell us what is important to you? Ie:
Size
Weight
Battery
Looks
Budget

If its a dtr i would recommend an i7 quad and nvidia 555m or ati 6770 as a minimum. These will still allow you to game at reasonable fps with most modern games

Yeah i am struggling to play these days due to having young children.

For 400 check out the dell outlet. You should be able to get an xps15 with dual core i5 and nvidia 525m. Not a beast but will allow you to play sc2 on medium with good fps
