If you can extend your budget a little ..get Z510 for 52k, much better processor and backlit keyboard, 8gb ssd etc.

Else z50 is a decent buy too!

Why LOL?:shock:......He doesn't want it run on ulrta HD quality. He just want it to run thats all. For that a 2GB ULV graphics card is sufficient enough IMHO. ( please keep in mind that not every one can afford a pc with NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN 6GB GDDR5 Graphics Card.)

lol because, the game is NFS Rivals.
Adding RELOADED indicates that the game is cracked/pirated by the release group RELOADED :p
