I'm mostly going to play League of Legends, Terraria, Minecraft, and some other games with League of Legends needing the best specs. If there is a better and/or cheaper choice, please let me know. Oh and do i need to: -Have an i5-560 processor or is a i5-480 the good enough? -Upgrade my hard drive to 640GB? I won't need much memory though. -Should i upgrade my memory to 6GB DDR3 (2 Dimm) Thanks in advance, Ace
I got a laptop with similar specs (i.e. i5, 500 GB HD, etc.) and while I have to run Minecraft on "Quick" mode, it works very well.
