Elite Dangerous is just the game i want to play and im ready to buy it, but i want to know if my laptop(sadly my only way to play) will handle it;
HP Pavilion Dv7
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 430 @ 2.27GHz
(a bit slow)
GeForce GT 320M would belive that my gpu would be the biggest problem

Well, I've seen the game run on a Surface tablet on the lowest settings. It's pretty well optimized. It's just a matter of how pretty you want it to be.

I am playing on a fairly old laptop with a 6630M GPU (i3 at 2.3ghz but its not CPU bound in the least). Notebookcheck reckons your card is about 66% the performance of mine, and I get about 25fps (roughly) with everything turned down and at 1366x768. Some slow-down but generally quite responsive - especially out in space where there isn't much going on The GPU in the surface is Intel HD 4400 I think which is something like 85% of what I have got.

So it might just be playable. If you put the resolution down to say 800x600 you might get better performance - not sure .

I think it'll be a little rough. You're definitely right that your GPU is what's going to hold you back most. Running your specs through Game Debate, it produces this report:

It's a really beautiful game, and I think you won't really get to experience all it has to offer if you're running it on really low settings just to get a workable framerate.
