Is this ASUS laptop pretty decent for gaming?

So this is the laptop I'm looking at getting. I've never owned a laptop before but I have a desktop that I game on. I know with the specs it has it should be awesome at playing just about any game but again I've never owned a laptop so I want feedback from people who actually game on laptops. I play SWTOR, BF3, witcher, MMOs, SC2, Etc.. So will this preform pretty good for my needs or should I get something better. That's just about my price limit for a laptop at this point in time.

It has really nice specs. The cpu is ranked number 23 overall but that list includes all processors including desktop cpu's but still comes in ahead of the i5 2500K. Ranked 7th in all mobile processors.

The 670MX being an SLI solution might require some additional cooling for prolonged playing sessions but I'm quite sure you'll be pleased with that laptop.

I have an older Asus G73JH and it maxes every game I've thrown at it. Sadly I don't get to use it much.
