It's an HP DV6 and it costs only 450 Eur so do you think it can handle games like BF3, crysis 2, Aion, Cataclysm, Alan Wake?

Is the cpu the reason that it won't be able to play modern games at high res mode?

Part of it. Many believe that a dual-core CPU is probably better with a good GPU for games. For me it is in the drivers, firmware and BIOS.

And if you must sit for a long time with games, I recommend going for a (customized) desktop rig.

Well I need the laptop cuz I will take it with me in the town where I am studying as student, so I also wanted to be able to game on it, so in this case I found another laptop that has a dual core and is clocked at 2.1ghz and it boosts to 2.5ghz, only the ram seems a bit bad though cuz it has 4gb of ram and I think games might need more than 4gb. here are the specs:
