What do you think of this laptop? :D

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy myself a new laptop within the next few months, my budget is around £700 give or take a few quid, as I don't need an OS I've routed towards a company called pc specialist that let you select your own parts and what you do or don't want.

I was just wondering what you think of this config, for general use and gaming? there's no mention of fans on there either and i've always had overheating problems with my laptops so i'm a little concerned about that too.. what do ya think!? thank you!

This is perfect for light and semi-intensive gaming, especially with the 850M. The SSD will make programs and the OS boot tremendously faster so I'd say go for it. The 850M isn't a high-end mobile GPU so it's less likely to overheat compared to an 870M or 880M.
