Ok With the 8-9 laptops I have had.. Honestly You'll have some trouble with gaming. I like desktops for gaming and have always gone that way. I do see it has a nice intel core processor. However the graphics might get you running games like maple story at 60fps. However you might find your gpu struggling on games like World of Warcraft or even games like the First assassins Creed. 600$ Seems a little overpriced but you're getting a good processor.
If i was you I would invest in a cheaper alternative laptop and a gaming rig desktop for some games. I mean if you want to also you could get a decent laptop and save for parts for a desktop while your laptop is getting by.
Really if you want to get a nice Gaming rig you can go for a 500$ Desktop Pc and be able to run Skyrim.
