the Intel HD 4600 graphics will do great at medium settings on those games
Where are you getting that info? As far as I know, the HD 4600 would barely be able to pull low settings on games like those, and I'm guessing it could still end up being choppy at certain points if not throughout the game. Might even have to put the resolution down even lower than 720p.
And the 740M I wouldn't expect to get Ultra settings on big, upcoming titles. It will run similar current games on low to medium settings, though, from my understanding.
Aside from that, you may want to link the actual build you are referring to as hardware can vary in laptops. But with a 740M, 8GB of RAM, and a Core i5 processor it would have fine hardware for a laptop in that price range.
