| well the thing is the bios is locked on that gateway. you cant overclock or anything. and they use cheap parts. what i have now is an abit ip35 pro, E8400, and a gtx 260. The i7 will blow my rig away in benchmarks but im still getting 150-250 fps in game | |

| oh and i dont think there is a way to upgrade your laptop. and laptop bios are locked to so you cant OC them. Unless there is a crack or something that i dont know about.
I just built my borther a desktop for about 900 bucks.
E8400- cpu Gigabyte x48- mobo HD4870- vid card WD 500 GB- HD liteon dvd burner Acer 19 inch widescreen saitek keyboard. coolermaster hyper tx2 cpu cooler and artic silver coolermaster storm scout case
You can save some money on the case if you dont want a really fancy one. My bro paid 120 for his but you can get an Antec 300 for 60 bucks | |
