Yes if its for sale on the PCS website it will fit inside the laptop, no problems their.

The configuration will be fine for gaming, and i wouldn't be too concerned about overheating. Laptops have special components that are designed for laptop use. The will get hotter than a similar desktop component, but apart from some noise from the fan it won't normaly be a problem. Just keep all the vents free from obstructions and dust and it should be fine.
