The total price of that computer is around $1900 on their website, just build one for $1200 and get another laptop for $600-700. You will get a computer miles ahead of this laptop.
Also I would not recommend the Origin SSD.

There is no need for a 4GB GPU with a laptop, or even at 1080p in general. Drop the 4GB if possible and try to get a better overall card. 2GB of VRAM will be plenty.
This is not true. Some graphical implementations include vigorous use of vram. Watch Dogs requires at least 3GB to use ultra textures if i remember correctly and I would expect future games to follow this trend.
The card runs Watch_Dogs on Ultra at nearly 20fps. Also the card has a 128 bit bus, which as far as I know, wont be able to use the 4GB effectively. Any game that will need that much VRAM will already be maxed out by the card itself. Titanfall says it needs 3GB VRAM for extreme textures but my 2GB card is chugging along just fine on extreme.
From what I read the 4GB one is Kepler while the 2GB is Maxwell based, so it should consume less power and generate more heat.
its not about that particular game. I feel a lot of games in the future will use more and more VRAM so it's always good to have. The bus is only a tiny problem because it does limit last games from fully using all that memory but that's not always the case, developers are always finding new ways to use VRAM.
Eh the games that will use that much VRAM will already be limited by the power of the card anyways, but I guess it really boils down to if you would rather have Kepler+4GB of VRAM vs Maxwell. I just checked the site and that is the lowest tier card they offer with that laptop (oddly enough they increase by a 6GB 870m and a 8GB 880m) so it doesnt really matter if the option isn't going to be there.

You can drop the 16gb RAM to 8 unless you know you need it for a specific reason.
Check to make sure that the OS is going to be installed on the SSD (Seems like a no-brainer, but was not listed)
"Origin approved" SSD tells you nothing. Try to find the manufacturer and model of the SSD included.
Go with Windows 8 if the option is there.
If you plan to play a lot of games, 750GB wont cut it. My current Steam folder is over a TB. That doesnt include Uplay, Origin, and other legal methods.

If you can, go with a desktop like Nick said. Often times you can get a more powerful desktop and a laptop for still less money. Heavily consider that option.

Were you recommended by anyone?: Not at the moment, add your name if you feel inclined
Why you should become a moderator: It's been a long time since I was last moderator. A very long time. I think that everyone would agree that I've changed quite a lot since that time. Even more so recently. I have the time to moderate now that the school year is coming to an end, and would love to be part of the staff again. I already work well with a large portion of the staff and think I would be a great fit with everybody. Thank you very much for considering my application.

Goat sim
I love those developers, they made Sanctum 1 and 2, which were epic, but please don't reward them for making this pile of crap.
It's a half-finished mess of a game, riddled with bugs (which they claim makes it funny).
For the same price, you could buy Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, which is meant to be pretty damn good, or GMod, which has a shit ton of content, or (my recommended buy) FTL, which has just had an expansion released, and is god damn amazing.
None of that really interest you? That's fine. You've got Terraria, which has a shit ton of content. It's easy to sink hours and hours into it, and if you get a buddy or 2, it's double the fun.
Or even just wait for next week's Humble Bundles. While this weeks aren't that good (In my personal opinion), they're never bad, and are always cheap as shit. You want to be that scumbag who pays $1 for like 5 Steam games? Nobody's going to stop you.
There are many more amazing games on Steam in the £15 range, which are much, much better than Goat Simulator. Hell, you could get Skyrim for £15, if that's your thing (I personally wouldn't recommend it, but many would disagree). You also have Fallout: New Vegas (Ultimate Edition) for £15. Are you saying that the 5 hours or whatever you'll get out of making a goat jump around is more valuable than the 200+ hours many people put into these games.
Please, please, please do not get Goat Simulator. Please. Don't reward developers for this shit.
Also, Titanfall is really fun, but gets boring after a while. Multiplayer is good, and feels cool, but it just gets same-y after a few games. Campaign could have been awesome, but instead it's just literally the multiplayer game, but with cutscenes on either end (And if you loose, you still pass the mission... wut?).
Overall, I wouldn't really recommend it, at full price, unless you're really dead set. But hey, still better than Goat Simulator...
I love the game. If you have fun with it and the devs aren't killing puppies, go for it.
