Opinions on this laptop for 879?

    I've been looking for a while for a laptop that i can work on, play current games at a high setting and that looks good aesthetically.

    I found this asus laptop on Komplett:

    http://www.komplett.ie/product/zkb-01lap/80035410/asus-n551jk-cn130h/details.aspx

    It's a bit more than I wanted to spend ( I was aiming for under 800), but this laptop seems far better than anything I could get for under it's price, it even seems to beat many laptops more expensive than it.

    So any opinions on this laptop before I take the plunge? I want to be 100% sure that I'm making the right choice if I'm going to spend this much on a laptop. So all and any input will be appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Pretty good spec, but the DDR3 version of the GTX 850m will not play all games at 1080p30 on high (good for 720p30 though).

    Do you think that i could go better on the graphics card for the price i'm paying?

    Doesn't look like; with that high-end CPU a GDDR5 850 or 860 will run at least a grand.
