I just replaced a dead laptop with an MSI GP70 with an i5 CPU, 8GB ram, an 840M GPU and a 5400RPM hard drive and it handles Skyrim (with about a dozen mods, including the ones that increase terrain textures) and Saints Row 3/4 moderately well at 1080 resolution. The model you are looking at has enough of a GPU upgrade to eliminate any performance issues, and that's before you get to the faster primary disk and CPU.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
