Which 15'' inch for me?

[Damstas]

Im planning to get 15'' Retina Macbook Pro. What hardware for some normal use + some gaming on Star Wars The Old Republic (SWTOR) and Star Trek Online (STO) ? No very heavy FPS games.

Can the more expensive one play games fine on virtualization?
Or should I just play those games on Boot Camp Windows 8?

If it's for casual gaming, get the base 15" model. Intel Iris Pro should be fine unless you're running some of the more graphically intense games.

To future proof it, consider upgrading the RAM to 16GB.
