well that laptop is my second favorite choice for the money. Although there is a coupon out right now for a decent chunk off. Let me find it and get back to you. You also might consider Going with the Lenovo Y570 laptop. The Y570 is just barely below the HD7690 *GT 555m*, will run cooler, and is a ton cheaper. Just throwing that out there.
