    If you feel you're getting a good deal on it, you'll certainly be able to play those games..... but if you feel it's not the best deal, you may want to look into some other models or wait for some of the new dual core customs..... but, the Z71v with those specs are pretty good (although the 4.5 hours of battery life seems pretty hard to get given the configuration you've got)...

    However.. i'm confused.. your first post said you "added the ram yourself".... then the next post said "someone is selling it to you"... do you already have it, or are you buying it?

    ..... well are you getting what you think is a good deal compared to buying the same model new? If so, you're good to go and certainly have my OK if you're looking for someone to support your purchase and let you know you're going to just fine..
