Advice before I Purchace

[AzY]

Just wanted to check that everything in this spec is ok before i go ahead and order it. Any last minute recommendations will be appreciated. Laptop will be used for general use + occasional gaming. Happy with the cpu + gpu, don't really think i need to upgrade the ram atm as 4gb should be more than enough as i am not going to be using Photoshop or rendering. I think it should run well for a £600 ish set up.

Should i get this Bluetooth & Wireless GIGABIT LAN & WIRELESS INTEL® ADVANCED-N 6235 (300Mbps) + BLUETOOTH. For £9. Is it worth getting over the standard , i will be doing gaming occasionally would i notice much difference and is it a good improvement.

Can't think of anything else you could change personally.
Maybe go for a Matte screen instead of Glossy to avoid any reflections?

Nah im not really botherd about glossy, i doubt i will be taking the laptop outside, so there is not point spending £79 as i would barley notice it.

Yeah true. I really can't recommend anything myself then. Maybe one of the more experience members on the forum can.

Ok thanks, just really want to know more about the wireless and is it worth getting the upgrade.

Ahh I didn't see that question at the moment. The card you have chosen will be more than good enough for gaming (as long as you've got a good internet connection).

What actually difference would i experience with the upgrade card, would any noticable increase be evident with the better choice, and would gaming be deffinatly fine on the stock choice.

The GPU is the most important component as far as gaming goes,but the one you select depends on the games you want to play,
the 650M may suffice for your needs,but if you intend playing new demanding games on high settings get the the best card you can afford.
