Hi,

Im planning on ordering the below spec very soon but i just wanted to ask if someone can make sure its sufficient to last me for a few years and run games at a decent setting. I travel alot with work so the smaller option is better for me and i use the laptop for gaming.

I plan on adding a second drive myself at a later date and i already have a usb dvd drive.

The question is have i selected something that will hinder the laptop performing?

A very decent spec!

The only suggestion i would make is dependant on your traveling. Are you outside a lot ? Do you use your laptop on the go or mostly in doors? If yes, I would suggest you consider the Matte design instead of glossy, as it removes the glare and reflection from surrounding light.
