So a HD6850 would be fine to run all games and a HD5450 would be okay for watching movies and playing sims.
And laptop gpus can only be replaced in rare cases where it's a replacable card. Desktops can always be upgraded if they have the right slot (PCIe2.0 x16 for example)
Hmm...any idea where I can get a much better system?
