I'll definitely be upgrading to 8GB as you say! Before i purchase, does anyone know of any other laptops with a better graphics card than the GT330m within a £400 price range?

Which one would be best for gaming from these which i can afford on my budget do you think? My first choice http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/HP_Pavilion_DV6-6c05ea_1165433.html My second choice http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/hp-g6-1336sa-15-6-laptop-charcoal-12303695-pdt.html Third choice (says 1gb dedicated ram, but same radeon 6520g as the HP above, does the hp also havve 1gb ram?) http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/HP_ProBook_4535_1134731.html Last choice (refurb..but better graphics capability than others?) http://laptopoutlet.co.uk/laptops-notebooks/96407-toshiba-a665-14q-cheapest-3d-laptop-intel-core-i5-m460-4gb-500gb-win-7-pro-156-display-4026203849280.html

Currently i have a acer aspire 5742 with i5-480m 2.67ghz processor(turbo boost 2.9Ghz), 4gb ram(expandable to 8gb), Intel HD graphics. I want to return it and get one with better graphics capabilities because i'll be keeping it for around 5 years and will undoubtedly want to play a decent game on it at some point in that time. I was thinking about changing to one of these: TOSHIBA A500-1GL £379 Intel Core i3-330m(first generation), 2.13Ghz 4GB RAM (expandable to 8 which i will) NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 330M with CUDA™ technology Windows 7 home premium 64bit http://laptopoutlet.co.uk/laptops-notebooks/96407-toshiba-a665-14q-cheapest-3d-laptop-intel-core-i5-m460-4gb-500gb-win-7-pro-156-display-4026203849280.html Asus P53E-SO102X £379 Intel Core i3-2330m(second generation sandy bridge technology), 2.2Ghz 2GB RAM (Will be expanded to 8gb straight away) Intel HD 3000 Windows 7 home premium 64bit http://www.ilgs.co.uk/products.asp?partno=P53E-SO102X Which do you think would be better for occassional heavy gaming such as skyrim, GTA, etc and general speed when browsing the internet? Will i see much difference in graphics and computing performance between the 2 i3's? Will it be better to just keep the faster i5 with intel HD? Any help would be appreciated!
