Laptop mainly used for gaming (WoW, Sims 3, Assassins Creed)

[Kiazak]

Budget is at close to £500 as possible. No smaller then 15.6" if possible.
Will be used to play World of Warcraft, Sims 3, older Assassins creed games, and maybe a few others like Minecraft or Planetside 2 in the future.

Spec posted down below, thanks guy in advance for your help, I know you guys are good at suggestions.

This is £564, so only £2 more and would give you a better experience over all

Chassis & Display
Enigma IV: 15.6" Glossy HD LED Backlit Widescreen (1366x768) - If you can afford it, id upgrade to 1920x1080 resolution, it makes it look much better

Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™i3 Dual Core Mobile Processor i3-3110M (2.40GHz) 3MB - a better match for the GPU, you pay a lot extra for laptop CPU upgrades and they arent really worth it, this has a turbo mode anyway

Memory (RAM)
8GB SAMSUNG 1600MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (2 x 4GB)

Graphics Card
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 650M - 2.0GB DDR3 Video RAM - DirectX® 11 - much more powerful, its the most important part for gaming

Memory - Hard Disk
500GB WD SCORPIO BLACK WD5000BPKT, SATA 3 Gb/s, 16MB CACHE (7200 rpm) faster rpm, means things load quicker, including games and OS
