1Tb Storage
NVIDIA GeForce 840m 2GB Dedicated Graphics
Windows 8.1
DVD
15.6in HD 1366 x 768 resolution, high-brightness Acer CineCrystal LED-backlit
802.11a/b/g/n wireless LAN
Bluetooth 4.0; Bluetooth 2.1+EDR
Ports- HDMI port, USB 3.0 port, Combo audio jack compatible with phone headsets,Two USB 2.0 ports, Optical drive
Dimensions- 381.6 (W) x 256 (D) x 25.3/30.3 (H) mm

I'm a very dedicated gamer but i m not to bothered about Max settings as I do the majority of my gaming on consoles. I can get a decent price on this laptop and was unsure if it was any gd? Its an Acer by the way

Any help would be great thanks

According to the benchmarks, the GeForce 840M is about 30 percent faster than the old GT 740M and just slightly behind a GeForce GT 750M (DDR3 version). Many games of 2013/2014 can be played fluently in WXGA resolution (1366 x 768) and medium or high detail settings. However, very demanding games such as Crysis 3 or Battlefield 4 will require lower resolutions and/or details. But that processor, being ultra-low power or ultra low voltage CPU (hence the letter U), the performance will be little less compared to the same level CPU with M letter.. Since laptops need to have longer battery stand-by time, that processor is made to consume low power..

how much are you paying for this laptop / can I have a link to it. it sounds like the $700 on amazon?
as far as $700 thats the best you're going to get, if you upped your budget to $850 then you could get the next upgrade which makes a lot of difference - see this: http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-V3-772G-5413-17-3-Inc...
