Laptops?

Laptops often tend to overheat, and games make the problem worse. It is hard to get adequate performance in the small space of a laptop, and even harder to keep it cool. I suggest you get a desktop machine in a full size tower case. You can get a kit of whatever parts you want, and it is a simple matter to plug them together. "Gaming" can mean a lot of things. Some games need an expensive video card to run well, and that can cost as much as all the rest of your computer. So ask around for advice on what video card to get for the games you want to play.

Make sure all fans in your case point out. It's simple to turn them around. Then use postal packing tape to cover all drive bays and holes in the case except the big one over the cpu. Get the smallest ac filter at Walmart and tape it over that hole. That keeps dust out of the case, and that will extend the life of the machine by many years.

Go to newegg.com or tigerdirect.com and discuss your needs with customer service. They will assemble a kit for you and be sure all the parts are compatible, and give you a good price for it. Take all the money you saved and buy a solid state drive to hold your operating system. You will be glad you did.
