I try not to specify a model when am recommending pc specs coz u might find a certain PC cheaper than another model with same specs. Ao i just tell people togo with the one they prefer.

Anyways, as far as laptops are concerned, u can go for Asus, Msi, Acer and Dell. And Stay far away from Lenovo, HP, Alienware
sorry, if I may ask why did you ask him to stay away from alienware when he needs a gaming laptop and you have Dell in your "go for" list?
Mind you, alienware is made by Dell. The brand alienware handles games better than normal Dell laptops .

Rather than dig claws into skin and take a stab at each other, why not ask Adelana1 why he included Alienware in the 'stay away' list? I'm sure he has got his reasons or perhaps it was an oversight.

AFAIK, the components that you are interested aren't readily available in Nigeria. Are you looking to import? If so then the 80K budget is really low for what you are after. You'd be looking close to 100k+..
You've picked parts around the 4th Gen Intel CPU but the 6th Gen Intel CPU are around the same price/less...removing 20% UK tax will give a base amount of £360+

The new AMD RX470 is aimed at 1080p gaming so should be enough for your needs.

Lol. Do i look like someone who wouldn't know that Alienware is a Dell product?? Or cant i advice someone to buy a PS3 instead of a PS4 based on his budget??

I once saw an Alienware 15(gtx 960m, 16gig ram, i7) on amazon. And i also saw a Dell xps 15 with same specs and only 8gig ram that was almost a $1000 cheaper. Becoz of that, i did some research and found out that most Alienware laptops were usually more expensive than other brands. That's why am not a big fan of Alienwares. Sure they are very good gaming machines. But its nothing more than an overpriced Dell.

Graviton asked for advised on what models he should go for and i advised him based on personal preference to stay away from Alienwares. Afterall, he already reiterated that he dint want something too expensive...

MSVCR stands for MS = Microsoft, V = Visual, C = C++, R = Redistributable so it will be in one of those links I sent earlier. What version of MK are you trying to install. Is it an original disk or a download? AFAIK, the non-legit MKX required a fix.

1. Try re-instaling the game.Does it give you an option to install and MSVCR files?
2. Re-install the download from the first link...the 2012 update 4.

Minimum system requirements:
OS: 64-bit: Vista, Win 7, Win 8.
Processor: Intel Core i5-750, 2.67 GHz. | AMD Phenom II X4 965, 3.4 GHz.
Memory: 3 GB RAM.
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460. | AMD Radeon HD 5850.
DirectX: Version 11.
Network: Broadband Internet connection.
Hard Drive: 25 GB available space.

edit: noticed your disk running at 100%, that can make it run slow but well try and make it perform better.

It's down to preference. I prefer Win10. It's free to upgrade to Win10 from Win 8.1 so why not. You can revert back easily if you don't like it.
