    If you're just adding up the components, the price is OK, however, the Inspiron 17R SE is not a gaming laptop. The GT 650M is a lower mid-range GPU.

    If you want to play games, have a look around at PC Specialist, you'll get a laptop with a much better graphics card within your budget. For example the Optimus IV. Configure to your likings, if you already have an operating system, you can order without Windows and save €100.
