Not sure why you're so dedicated to clinging on to your old and outdated hardware, it's going to end up being more expensive to replace parts as they break as opposed to just buying modern hardware and getting a new computer. Not to mention, a new computer would be several orders of magnitude faster, for not that much money

for not that much money

I take it you aren't familiar with Argentina's import taxes.

And are old computer parts somehow more exempt from import taxes than modern parts?
You could just deal with the problems that an outdated platform will bring, as by all of your posts they seem to be a collection of annoying yet minor problems. Or you could just bite the bullet and avoid the hole in the back of your neck (and your wallet)

Yes because customs and import taxes usually attack PC parts newer than 2010 and any electronic whose price passes $250 USD. The taxes are a +50% from the original value.

I have way more problems than the ones I post but this screen tearing is pissing me off. It didn't do this yesterday or anyother day.

10/10 poem but I didn't understand what you're trying to say.

Not yet but that guy at my dad's work said his gpu is available (I don't know what kind it is though) and he might be able to get me Windows 8 for free

Got a 85.5 on my NOCTI exam for the course I'm taking. Now time to go for my A+ certification.

I would like to know if this computer would be able to run games like Spiral Knights, Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive etc. at total max settings. (SK: Anti-Aliasing 16x, high graphics; TF2: Anti-Aliasing 8x, all graphics settings really high, etc.)
Any other suggestions for a better gaming laptop?
(I only want a laptop, not a desktop.)

I would try to look for a laptop with a single newer gen gpu as opposed to 2x 755M's in SLI
