Looking for a good gaming laptop under $1200 Canadian

[_vaxx]

I'm looking to buy a 15.6" (No 17", too big!!!) Gaming laptop for around $1200 Canadian. I have a max. budget of $1500, but I also need to buy Office and an extended (possible ADH) warranty. I would be using this laptop for playing games like CS:GO, Skyrim, Borderlands 2, TF2 and Saints Row. I know most people say just to buy a desktop, but I need a computer I can easily take to school, or to others houses. I would love it if I could somehow get an accidental damage warranty with it (an extra charge of course). I was looking at this laptop, but the accidental damage warranty is expensive. http/www.amazon.ca/dp/B00VVU4NGA

My current laptop is from Costco, and it has an amazing warranty, but I don't think you can get Excellence Plus on laptops not from Costco. If you have any info on that I'd greatly appreciate it!!
Thanks!

That laptop is more than enough for your needs.

Do you know if it would run CS:GO on max settings?

It should have no problem with running the game at 1080p max as this is not really a demanding game.
