Q. Im building a gaming computer because i have an ACER laptop which actually does handle games decently with minor lag.(games like-TF2, Minecraft,Garry's Mod, Arctic Combat and thats really all i know..)What would you say the The actuall specs are for playing games like Battle Field 3 and games like ARMA 2 and ARMA 3. i need to know because developers of games always say that you need a high tech NVidea to play Minecraft, but my Intel integrated sh*t, handles it just fine.
I just want to know what specs you guys would recomend. If not specs a gaming laptop that hanles all games fairly well for a cheap cost.(i prefer gaming laptops rather than desktops)
My acer specs just in case you happen to need them-
Intel Cleron processor 900
Intel GMA 4500M
3GB DDR3 Memory(RAM)
250 GB HDD(164 remaining)
4-cell Li-ion battery
Acer Nplify802.11 b/g/n (whatever the hell that is)

Computer Gaming Spec. Help?
Q. I want to upgrade my computer so I can play Minecraft with a 64x resolution texture pack, and record Minecraft videos with Bandicam. I have 4GB RAM, I have an Intel Pentium Dual processor, 64 bit OS, and I don't quite know the processor, I know it is not a gaming kind for sure though. What should I upgrade to do what I need it for? And HOW do I install it? I want my price rate to be under at least $500.
A. Is your computer a generic/custom unit or a brand-name unit from Dell, HP, Acer etc? Is it a regular tower or a smaller slimline model? If it''s a brand-name computer what's the exact model number?
You'll probably only need to upgrade two things (your graphics card and power supply) but it's possible you'll need to upgrade the CPU as well. Minecraft doesn't have high hardware requirements.
The first step will be finding out exactly what you've got now. Download one of the free utilities to find out your computer's details, including the motherboard model. I recommend either SIW or CPU-Z which are available on download.com:

http://download.cnet.com/CPU-Z/3000-2086_4-10050423.html?tag=mncol;1
Either of those will identify your current CPU and motherboard model. Post that information, then we'll know whether your current CPU is fine for Minecraft + recording. We'll also know what type of graphics cards your computer can accept (although in all likelihood it will be PCI-Express).
To find out your computer's power supply capacity you'll have to remove the cover and look at what's printed on the power supply label. If it's less than 300 watts, you'll want to replace it.
The minimum graphics card upgrade I'd recommend is a Radeon HD 6670. And for $20 more, you can get the Radeon HD 7750 or 6770.

The 6670 and 7750 both run fine on a stock 300 watt power supply. But to install the 6770 your computer needs a 450W or higher power supply. So you'd need a new PSU in addition to the card:

We'll need to know the specifics of your current CPU & motherboard model before we can suggest any CPU upgrades (if that's even required). Different motherboards can accept different models.
For games, 4Gb of RAM is plenty. 8GB helps for heavy multitasking and makes your system future-proof, but not even the highest-end games like Battlefield 3 and Metro 2033 use more than 4GB of RAM. Applications which require 8GB or more are video editing software like Sony Vegas and design/rendering programs like AutoCad, Maya and 3D Studio Max- not games.
