Had a Dell Inspiron 5000 Laptop for about a year and a half now its a great little machine for work but latley ive got back into gaming LANs etc but my laptops graphic card just dies when trying to run some games and i end up having to aplogise to everyone else on the LAN for crashing half way through a game in the end i just end up stealing peoples files while there gaming . The Graphic Card is on board aswell so no "geforce Go" for me

I got rid of my desktop a year ago

Any way while being on Night Shifts ive been looking at Dells website for a Desktop, Ive seen some nice systems and their Loan thing doesnt seem that bad, At 3am on a 12 hour shift its very tempting to press the buy button.

Thought I`d hang fire a bit, ive always had good advise from you guys on the Forum, so what do you guys think, wait and stick with my trusty Inspiron for a bit or buy a beast and get gaming



(Inspiron wont be left out he has to come to work with me everyday)
