• Answer:

  This sounds like a great laptop and should be able to handle high-powered games without a hitch. When considering which computer to get, you should consider the Memory (RAM) - in your case this is 4GB which should be able to handle large programmes fine - Hard Drive - you have 500GB available, the average game takes between 3GB and 15GB - Graphics Card - this has a dedicated NVIDIA, a company that specialises in gaming graphics hardware - and the Processor - this has an i5 dual-core, which again is very high powered and should be able to handle the necessary functions fine.
