A top spec, If I was purchasing one myself, I'd go for exactly this one, plus a BluRay drive. : ) You may want to review the "Memory (RAM)
16GB KINGSTON HYPER-X GENESIS 1600MHz SODIMM DDR3 (4 x 4GB)", whether or not you will utilise all 16 GB, since anything over 8 GB (4 GB x 2) is way more than enough for today's games & entertainment.

The HD 7970 GPU will definitely last a while, seeing as its arguably the fastest mobile graphics card on the market. The same goes for the processor - i7-3610QM, though you may want to upgrade to i7-3740QM, which brings higher clocks at a premium price, ensuring further that the whole system does last "awhile". : )

RAM can always be upgraded later on, if the need arises.
