Annoyingly my HDTV isn't quite good enough for 3D, only 100Hz, so my only option is my next PC

Will this be good enough:

It has quad core i7, so should be fine on the processing side, but I am worried about the GeForce GT 330M graphics card, but I think the screen should be okay... Though even if it can't do HD, it is still a monster of a laptop

Sadly the video card will limit the 3D performance of this machine. You will be able to play 2006 and prior games just fine. I think the laptop will have issues playing current games even on low settings.

That video card is about the same as radeons HD4650...you need atleast a 4850 or GTX260 on the nvidias side.

Okay, thanks. Do you mean it will struggle in 2D as well? tbh, I am not really that interested in 3d, it would just be a nice bonus...

@ Kowneicki, firstly that is not the exact computer that I will actually get, mine will be £100 cheaper. With a quick look at Dell's site, I can't find anything else with 8GB of RAM and quad core i7 processor AND a blu-ray reader

yeah 2D gaming wise as well the video card isn't amazing.

If you set resolution to 1366x768 and turn off AA, you should be able to run most games on medium to high settings. At 1920x1080 it will struggle... I had a comparable card and I could only get a good frame rate on Crysis on low settings. My processor wasn't as good but everythign else is comparable.
