New computer

[Brushpark]

I will be purchasing a new computer shortly, since my current video card doesn't meet the min requirements. Does anyone see anything below that should be upgraded? It will be a Dell laptop Inspiron special edition...
Thanks all,
Tom

Looks good. You could upgrade the memory to 12 GB pretty cheap.

OK, will upgrade if possible!

4 stars out of 4.

This is the magic card for Chief. But you've also got twice the recommended memory.

It should work superbly.

I hate Dell laptops. Their desktops are ok but I've had a couple of their laptops over the years and was really disappointed in their performance. I now have a Puget desktop and laptop and both run pretty well but are a little pricey. I recently bought my wife a Lenovo laptop that I have been pretty impressed with. The best investment I made in both of my Puget systems was an SSD instead of a SATA drive. Much more responsive but kind of expensive. I started with a 120GB SSD and I will add a second SATA drive later when storage gets maxed out. I can store my data on the SATA drive and keep the OS and software on the SSD.
