I need a laptop that will be able to play World of Warcraft and League of Legends on high settings with shadows turned down. I dont play any of the new games like BF3 Skyrim or Crysis. I just need a laptop for under $600 that will play WOW and LOL on high settings.

Yes, the 7870GHz can run Crysis 2 at 1080p on ultra settings. Following is a benchmark. Keep in mind that this is the regular 7870, the 7870 GHz is a bit better.

I don't forsee any issues. I changed a few parts around. I switched the motherboard to an ASRock 970 Extreme4 (my preference, you can keep the Asus if you'd like), the CPU cooler to the EVO over the Plus (has better cooling for only like $3 more), the RAM to a gaming set for basically the same price, and the PSU over to a Corsair (Cooler Master isn't exactly known for their power supplies).

Well same as the guy above really. Roughly 600 pounds give or take, preferably lower but not by a lot. I would like to be able to do work on it as well as play league of legends to a high standard of FPS. How's this one look, any advice would be great (computers are not my speciality)
