    I've recently purchased a HP Pavilion Media Center dv9690ez for about 1.4k Euros in order to serve me for my college years. My question is, was buying this laptop a good choice (price for value) for gaming? Thanks :)

    Maybe not the best bang for buck for gaming(you have a very nice processor and a so so gpu, it is best to gaming get a slower processor and a faster gpu), but can play games

    There are plenty of threads on "is this a good card", etc, and of course there is the gaming forum sticky. Please do a search and read the stickies before you post, thanks.
