I play mainly SWTOR , an odd game of cod:mw3 mp, and also got a gta4 full edition from the recent steam sale, along with usual facebooking and other casual web-surfing

Am I going to be ok, specially on the "gaming" side?

Thanks in advance :)

Ps: also regarding the CPU, and what I'm going to be doing with this one lappy, should I stick to the I5-4340M or move unto the I7-4710MQ ?

970 euros, so both cpus do fit in the budget, actually, picking the i7 4710MQ quad (2.50 GHZ) lowers the price compared to i5 4340M dual (2.90 GHZ)
