    The NP6165 w/ GT 650M is not the way to go to run every game you want, including the ones you listed. The GPU is the most important thing when considering gaming performance. The GT 650M will struggle with Skyrim on top game settings. Look at the next step UP NP9130 which has the GTX 670M and you'll get much more performance and wont be too much over your current price.

    that should be able to run LoL flawlessly, D3 should run great, but Skyrim you may have to lower the settings a little.

    D3 will run decently, I doubt it will be capable of max settings. It won't run Skyrim without dropping the graphics to low~med.

    From what other users have been saying, and of course some reviews like from notebookcheck NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M - Notebookcheck.net Tech the gt650m can handle really well Diablo 3 getting in Ultra an average of "44fps"

    The 650M is really strong and should last you a good while, I say it's a good purchase :)

    Skyrim is the only game you wont be able to put at full notch :p

    That's 720p, what you came up with for the Laptop setup is for 1080p and it's more power hungry.

    Did you post the same thread twice? That's fine. It's good, but not he best. It is great for the price
