My mate's son has a 360 with BF4 and his laptop on low looks better. 

 

The good thing is that he is very happy with the laptop I recommended to buy.

 

My geek - nerdiness  pays off once again.

Nothing to see here - move along.

Although Battlefield 4 really doesn't look that bad, when you consider it only has 512MB of total room to use, a 3.2GHz tri-core PowerPC chip, and some kind of ATI Radeon graphics from 2005, with slight process size decreases over time (think the 360E is a 60nm, might be 45).

The Radeon in my PC is getting louder, and I figured that this can last me quite a while longer than before. So guess what I'm dumping the money into. I should be getting a job soon so hopefully by November 4 (guess the significance) I can celebrate a 1 month anniversary with Dominator. I'd prefer a 3 or more month anniversary, though.

ell november the 4th is a longway off your probably best going for  jobs in holiday periods like easter or the summer when people take time off work.if you get a 660 you should be oktoplaymost games even on a bad cpu. I was running my 670 with an athlon x2 for a while andit was ok and i still managed to play most games on med-high at ~45fps.

My dad is trying to start something up and if it goes as planned I can probably make a good $100 a week.
