I'm going to be purchasing a laptop soon and I heard Malibal is a good place to order from, so I went on and configured a part list for my laptop. I think it's all good but I'd appreciate some outside input. The stats I chose are listed Below:

Model: Lotus P150EM
Screen: 15.6" 1920 x 1080 FHD LED Backlit Matte Display
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-3210M, 3MB L3 Cache, 2.5-3.1GHz
RAM: 8GB PC3-12800/1600MHz DDR3 - 2 SO-DIMM
GPU: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 670MX (Kepler) 3GB GDDR5
HDD: 1TB 5400rpm 2.5" SATA 300
Optical Drive: 8X Multi DVD+/-R/RW RAM Dual-Layer Drive
OS: Microsoft® Windows® 7 Home Premium; 64-bit
LAN/Bluetooth: Intel® 6235 Advanced-N 802.11A/B/G/N LAN and Bluetooth Card


Any suggestions on changes? I appreciate any and all suggestions, but Try to keep the laptop under $1,200.
 
It would be used for both gaming and schoolwork, they do have a 7200rpm drive, although it is only 750GB... But it does reduce the price, so it may be worth it.
