i5-6200U (2,30 - 2,80GHz)
8GB RAM DDR3
GT 920M - 2GB
1TB HDD

is it good "gaming" laptop for 420$ or can i find sth better?

Games i would like to play: FIFA 18 and then maybe some COD, BF.. i dont expect ultra/high details .

Thx, KoM.

The GTX 950m is a pretty decent GPU. I would call it a "high end" mainstream GPU. The GTX 1050 is currently considered to be the "entry level" gaming GPU; it's performance is between the GTX 965m and GTX 970m.

The Pentium G4560 is actually a dual core desktop CPU with Hyper Threading. Not sure what the technical differences is between that and a mobile Core i3-7100u is, but since it operate at up to 3.5GHz it should have similar or better performance than an i5-7200u. Since the dual core G4560 is a desktop CPU it is considered to be a power hog in the laptop arena with a TDP of 54w vs. a TDP of 15w for the i3 and i5 I mentioned. The laptop may run hot because of that. As a comparison, a quad core i7-7700HQ laptop CPU has TDP of 45w.

I would look to see if you can pick up a used laptop with at least a GTX 950M and 4-core processor then. Or just game on the desktop and buy a laptop for laptop purposes. Gaming isn't going to be an enjoyable or smooth experience with a ULV processor and 940MX.
