Effects on MSI Laptop

[_Fabsters]

I've recently purchased an MSI GP60 222uk from the Leopard series and I'm so far very happy with it and the performance. Usually I'd play through monitors. What I was wondering is if I had a monitor, keyboard, mouse and headsets plugged in while running a game, let's say Skyrim and Skype all running at the same time, would that have any effect, short or long term on the laptop?
The GP60 has:

- an i7 intel quad core processor with 2.6GHz (overclocking up to 3.6GHz)
- a 2GB NVIDIA Geforce 840M graphics card
- 16GB of DDR3 RAM
- an mS-ATA 128GB SSD

I use an ASUS VH228D 21.5 inch monitor (1920x1080p)

I would appreciate if you would only respond if you have a similar setup of have a lot of experience.

Thanks

laptop is not design for heavy usage/gaming. it will heat up quick. your better of buying a desktop if your gonna do heavy gaming.

Generally speaking what you plan on doing is fine.

However, you should use a program like Speccy to check your temperatures. You definitely do not want the laptop to run at very high temps for long periods of time. While gaming I would say you ideally do not want the CPU to go over 80C and the GPU to not go over 60C.

Purchasing a laptop cooler can help to cool down the laptop a bit.
