Hello!
Looking to get advice on this laptop I'm looking at currently, had a friend of mine that recommended this one to me but I'm a bit sketchy because it's a dell because I've never really liked the look or feel of dells.
What I'm wanting to do on this laptop is basically just to game, (WoW, D3, LoL, Dota 2 etc..) and hoping this won't lag at all from the computers perspective, and be able to run on some decent graphics settings
I've never really been all that tech savy so I'm not sure what's good and what's not, figured I'd get advice from here. Anyways the computers specs are as follows.

I just copy/pasted from the site on what it had. Forgot to mention that my budget was around 800-900 with the 1100 that this laptop is would be the absolute MAX that I would spend. What do you guys think, is this a good laptop? Or is there something better that I could get for that price. Lemme know if there's anything else you guys need to know!
Thanks!
