The laptops that your recommending will not be able to play many games unless its like Minecraft and League of Legends and that's not even maxed out, whats your budget?

Even the second specs I posted? And I guess my budget would be like 700.

700 Dollars or Pounds?

If you can custom build a computer that would be enough for a good gaming computer. It wouldn't be amazing, but definitely good enough to play something like CoD if you buy the right parts.
Also, PC or laptop?
If you can't custom build a PC then it will be difficult to get a good gaming PC with $700.
Laptops tend to be more expensive.

I have a HP Pavilion dv6-6b47 dx and It plays most games but has had a heating problem so it needs a laptop cooler on the bottom which is 10$.... If I can find the specs I will. The thing is this model only is sold with beats audio so it runs at 800 - 1000 dollars if you want a 2 year warranty.

I don't know much about CPUs but the second specs I posted are those good?

the things you need to be looking at are the CPU, RAM and GPU.
The CPU is also called a processor you want this to be a quad core. Best to get an intel i5 or i7 but AMD will get the job done.

Next is the RAM or the sometimes known Memory. You want 8GB preferably with this. 4GB will be a minimum. Try to get its speed to 1600 but 1366 will work.

Now is the gpu or graphics card or video card. There are two brands to focus on and that is Nvidia with their GTX series and AMD with their radeon series. The first number in the name of the card will be the series number. Ex. GTX 780 is the 700 series. A Radeon 7870 is the 7000 series. You want your series to be either the GTX 600 or 700 series or a radeon 7000 series. I am unsure about mobile/laptop gpu but I can tell you that you want the 650-680, 760-780, 7770-7970.

I will give you more info on laptops tommorrow because I'm tired and I'm going to bed.

So will the first or second specs I posted be ok for gaming?

No. They will not be good enough for gaming.

They aren't good specs because it doesn't have a proper GPU, it runs as a APU which means the CPU and GPU share the same memory, whereas the links that I sent you, you get a CPU and GPU which run seperately and will draw less power and bring more performance, and also 4GB RAM as much as it sounds will not be future proof as consoles have 8GB RAM in the future (or 16GB rumoured) which will mean PC games will be a minimum of 8GB RAM unless its a Indie Game.

All the specs you have posted are really bad. Not considering a desktop with a budget of $700 is a pretty bad move. You're not going to be doing much gaming with a $700 laptop. If you want to get the most for your money build a PC. Go with a system build like an FX6300 and a GTX 660, or if you want to keep it AMD go with a 7870 or 7950. You could also consider an Intel build and go with an i5 3570k and a GTX 660, it will cost more but will be better and faster than the AMD build. Both of those builds would play most of the games you'd want it to play, and it'd be well within budget. Gaming on a laptop is really terrible unless it's made specifically for gaming. Stay away from integrated CPU's if you can. If you're not considering a desktop for gaming I think you should probably stick to the Xbox or PS3 then, as you're just going to have a bad time with a $700 laptop. Unless you can find a cheap gaming laptop on eBay i'd be going with building a desktop gaming pc.

Sorry I am a tad late but I have some laptops for you to see that are good or decent for gaming.

The following are not the greatest but they will be able to play less demanding games like call of duty at medium or high settings at an acceptable FPS.

These ones are a tad more expensive but will pack a lot more punch to games. You will be running CoD and other less demanding games at Ultra settings with a good FPS.

Now if you got the extra buck these are a lot more powerful.

To your previous question. You will be able to play games that are not that demanding at low settings at maybe playable framerates. I can give you a list of games that can play on those you were looking at if you want just PM me.

In the end if you just get or build your own desktop you would be in better shape for gaming than a laptop. Hope this helped.
