To be honest COH is gonna be pretty hard to play on a laptop, I have a XPS Gen2 M170 that can play world in conflict and the likes on low settings, you best bet would probably to buy one secondhand from eBay, cos if you are going to play those kinda games, new aint really an option

Oh and is it €500 or sterlng?

Check out my sig. I only bought it at the beginning of October and I doubt something better has come along since (but don't take my word for it)
Should be able to get a good deal at Curry's or PCWorld.
