If this goes well, this should be one of my last threads asking about what laptop. 

I will make it abundantly clear. IF YOU REPLY SAYING "INVEST MORE" I WILL REMOVE THE COMMENT. 

ALSO. When I get the laptop if it has 4GB RAM I will upgrade to 8GB RAM and maybe later down to 16. 

I will set guidelines for links you send for laptops. $75 - $200. Core I5 2520m, Core I5 2540m, Core I5 3320m, or equivalent.

4 - 8 GB RAM

And most importantly, can it run Sims 4, if not 30FPS 720P CSGO?

Again, if you comment that I need to invest more, I know, I will when I can. I need one to hold about the next year. Also, I will delete the comment if you say that and then dont have a link.

This one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Latitude-E6420-Win-7-Laptop-2-5-GHz-i5-2520M-4GB-320GB-Nvidia-Backlit-DVDRW-/232107020616?hash=item360aa81148:g:AqYAAOSwrx5UWqMT

 

It has the nvidia gpu, so it should be a good amouter better at games than most.

 

You can also put a quad i7 in if you want and a ton more battery.

I personally thank you. I have looked around for Latitude 64 and 63 series and knew that they can come with a 4200m. 

Though, I only look to upgrade RAM in a laptop or HDD/SSD. Also, its backlit. LIT. 

But I am still scared to upgrade a CPU in a full ATX Mid Tower. So... maybe later down the line. 

I do see myself as putting a new CPU in and upgrading RAM though.

Its not that hard in these. Take off the bottom and the heatsink and it just pops out. Pobably easier and quicker than a desktop.

Yea. It is just quicker to upgrade RAM. Though that is some good advice.

On that, what should come first, the CPU, Windows 10, or 8GB RAM?

You should be able to run windows 10 pro with the included key for win 7 pro. But id personally keep 7 as I like it more. I don't think windows 10 is officaly supported on these laptops, but it will work fine.

 

Id go with 16gb of ram, ssd then cpu for gaming.

I just looked it up. G2 Socket CPU's are more expensive for a good quad core one than the laptop.

Your going to be very gpu limited, not cpu limited. It should be playable at 720p min, but idk.
