I've been offered the chance to purchase my first gaming laptop for my birthday, (I'm only 14 so I can't yet produce the funds for a good one) and I discovered the $550 Acer Aspire E-15 which contains a 940MX. I only plan on playing titles like SWTOR and other role playing games of the same level, Modded Minecraft, and possibly Overwatch. I don't plan on playing hit titles at all as I know I'm not ready for this. Is this the best possible choice I can make for under $650? My parents won't seem to nudge towards anything over $650. Also, I ll be receiving this laptop after February 12.
Is a GTX 940MX graphics card adequate for low-medium level gaming?

See graphic card specs at http://www.notebookcheck.net/...033.0.html
Scroll down to "Game Benchmarks" and you can see that majority of modern games like Overwatch, TitanFall 2, Farming Simulator 2017, FIFA 17, Just Cause 3, Mafia 2, etc are playable at medium settings
The Acer Aspire E15, you're looking at is available at https://www.amazon.com/...1DT4A2R4//
It's an excellent laptop within your $650 budget, considering that it includes
- NVIDIA GeForce 940MX graphics card
- 256GB SSD
- Full HD screen &
- Backlit Keyboard
I'd say, go for this laptop! They start at $463 in the USA

More available at higher price.
By $650, you get close to a GTX 950M
Gaming to GPU. Yes. The 940MX is OK, and 950M much better.
