Hello guys.
I have a quite old laptop which, back in the day, was a very good gaming lap. It's aged a lot and it's obviously outdated. I can still play games like Dota, Paladins or Warframe in it (in their lowest graphic options), but sometimes the games get bumpy and my online experience dies.
I only use it to play with my teenage boys currently, so I wouldn't mind keep playing in the lowest specs, but I'd really like to upgrade it a tiny bit so the bumpy factor doesn't kick in for that kind of games. I'm willing to replace the video card, expand RAM and/or even change the processor, as long as it all doesn't get expensive - I was thinking about spending no more than a few hundred bucks really.
My main worry is me buying a part that isn't compatible with my model, so if anyone would be willing to take their time and help me, I'd deeply appreciate.
Here are the current specs:
Intel Core i72630QM 2.00GHz @ 2 GHz
MMX SSE SSE2 SSE3
8GB System RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M
If you need any extra info, I'll be happy to provide.
Thanks!
