Will this laptop handle most games on high settings?

[After Glow]

So hopefully I'll be purchasing a Vortex II soon. Now I'm hoping to be able to play games such as BF3, Skyrim, Starcraft 2 on high settings (maybe even maxed?) So basically I'd like for someone to tell me whether the following specs will be able to handle high performance. I'm open to any suggestions regarding any of the specs. Thanks.

Not bad specs but you should upgrade the proseccor atleast once to the 2.2ghz quad core.
Quad core is pretty much a must now in gaming
