A Decent Budgeted Gaming PC

Back to OP:

Those graphics run games at barely playable frame rates. Skyrim at Low is 24fps. That's borderline terrible, and most likely will fall much lower.

If you MUST do laptop, get one with discrete Nvidia graphics.

If you don't have to do laptop, go desktop. Get a nice AMD DIY combo.

TL;DR: If you want to game, get serious discrete graphics. Something with a GTX660 or better would be great.

Thanks. I might wind up saving money and spending it in my senior year for a decent Desktop for both gaming and schoolwork.
