    My current laptop is too dated to play civ V. When looking for new laptops on the best buy site I came across The c55-a5104. I'm on a pretty tight budget and have wanted to upgrade to play this game for a while. The specs look proper, but I'm a bit of a dummy when it comes computer specs. If anyone could figure this out for me I would much appreciate it.

    I would increase your RAM why because it is Intel HD and the more Ram would help game play here since RAM is shared since DDR3 would be the quickest to improve performance. But if you wanted to play higher games you will need a laptop with dedicated GPU with at least 1gig GPU RAM either AMD or Nvidia GPU chipset. But also we need to know what kinda budget you are looking at cause the Toshiba you noted might look good but game play it might not be able to handle it. So what kinda budget are you looking at and what can you spend? That will give others reading more ideas as to what you need to look for and also tell us where your from no specific address but like what country since this is a international forum.
