Hello there, I'm thinking on buying an HP Pavilion 15z-n100. I'm customizing it with AMD Quad-Core A6-5200 Processor+ AMD Radeon™ HD 8670M Discrete and 6GB DDR3 System Memory (RAM). It would cost $584.99 with all that. Would it be good for gaming for such games like WoW and Skyrim/The Elder Scrolls Online(I know it hasn't come out yet but I'm assuming it would have similar graphics like Skyrim). Also, should I get the 6GB of RAM or settle for 4GB of RAM which will cost $40 less?

Thanks in advance.
 
I don't think you need to worry about WoW.

It believe Skyrim should be playable at medium graphics settings at 1366x768. You should set textures to high though based on my testing of Skyrim on an Intel HD 3000 which is much weaker. There is little performance difference between low, medium and high for textures.

TESO will have lower system requirements than Skyrim because they want to make the game playable by as many people as possible.
