Any Other Suggestions from Experts?

That laptop is not good for gaming cause its processor is 4200U not 4200M.... U processors are power saving processors which r used for light tasks..

Even I can run Crysis 3 on the my old laptop. It's a different thing that it gives 1-2 fps.
Bf4 on ultra in Gt 740m is not playable.

Thanks Guys for help, as i said Heavy gaming isn't my thing. I can manage with few years older games on low or medium graphic setting. And as i heard 4200U has good battery backup and can manage medium gaming, i want to ask if AMD Radeon 8670M can manage my need or not.

Oh that makes sense. You should have clarified that earlier ^.^
AA is by far one of the most demanding setting imo.

I would never recommend that no but it's your money and no one can stop you. Dell 2013 laptops are really trash.

Interesting, so by that logic my 8 year old desktop with a Pentium D Processor shouldn't even start right ?

Thanks for your Concern, i have also heard that Mid-Range Dell laptops doesn't last longer but I was asking that AMD 8670M GPU is good enough for medium gaming or not.

Soon amd 8670M will be reduced to very low. By early 2015, games will be unplayable.
