So I'm looking into getting a new gaming laptop, and I'm considering a Dell Inspiron 15 Gaming Series. Problem is, I'm not all that great with comparing spec to the games I want to play, so could I get some help with that?

Its specs are:
>either an Intel Core i5 or i7 processor
>8GB of memory
>NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 4GB GDDR5 graphics card

Would it be able to play games with any of the requirements listed in the pictures? Also, if it can play with an i5 processor but not an i7, could you please specify that?

Also, the cores available are an i5-6300HQ Quad Core or an i7-6700HQ Processor.

There are cpu and gpu benchmark websites (like PassMark)
You can compare your cpu and gpu to the ones that a game recommends
Maybe someone will do that for you

Yeah, kinda.

They'll all work.

But now is a really, really, really stupid time to be buying a gaming laptop, because the current generation is the very last generation of laptops with cut-down GPUs that aren't the same as the ones in desktops.

If you can bear to wait six months, you can get a laptop with a 1070, 1080 or 480 in it, the exact same chip as is in the desktop cards.

If you get a laptop now, you will just feel like an idiot in six months' time, when everyone else has desktop-quality gaming on their laptop, and you've paid the same price for the very last of the dinosaurs.

They're basically the same thing, except the i7 has hyperthreading. You'll struggle to notice a difference between 3.1GHz and 2.8GHz.

Far more important to performance, your CPU can only step up into turbo mode if the chassis can cool it. If the cooling is crappy, and the CPU is overheating, it'll downclock to way below even the nominal 2.3GHz.

I honestly don't care too much about whether mine is top of the line or anything, I just want something to play higher-quality games with. My current laptop has an i3 core and it's pretty much making it impossible for me to play any of the games I really want to.
