I'm buying a new laptop "soon" (Blizzard definition), and I've already decided 90% to buy this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-i3531-1200BK-15-6-Inch-Laptop/dp/B00KMRGF28/ref=psdc1_t1_B00LAGGR3W_B00KMRGF28

I know it's really cheap and slow, but I'm not that much of a high-level gamer, and I'll probably also upgrade the RAM to 8GB and the HD to a SSD.

Here's this list of games that I'd like to know if it could be played on:

    League of Legends
    Minecraft
    Warframe
    Starcraft 2
    Hearthstone


...You get the idea.

Also, does anyone know what the size of the HD slot is for the laptop? I'm not sure what kind of enclosure to buy.

Thanks.

On the N2830, Minecraft should run decent, and Hearthstone, League of Legends, and most likely Starcraft 2. Warframe could possibly run well on low-medium settings.

On the i3 all of those games should run smooth. Warframe may take some tinkering with the settings to get running smooth, but in all not a bad system.
The HD Slot is a normal 2.5 inch 9mm (Or smaller) drive.

As far as though games it might run kinda sluggish. Starcraft 2 i know it will struggle on high settings for sure.

as for the others not sure. Don't play them but then minecraft will work on almost anythings. Its like Half Life and Unreal Tournament GOTY Edition. Ran both of those on a Pentium 1 166mhz 64 MB ram and a 256 Color Graphics Card haha.
 
It'd be a waste to upgrade to 8gb of ram on that laptop. 4GB should be fine for basic use. This laptop is not meant for gaming, but you can probably run those games except warframe on lowest settings.

An SSD will help with quicker boot times/faster load times, but it will have no effect on the fps you get while gaming.
