Input on laptop purchase

[Girion]

Hello,


Currently owns a stationary computer since a few years back but since I'm traveling abroad for a year (and possibly more times following that) I've decided to buy a laptop.


The purpose is webbing/document editing/computer programming and gaming (which I think will be most demanding). I've asked my local computer store for a suggestion (and got one) but would like to get some input from someone else before buying:


Laptop specifications:
Asus R555JK
CPU i7-4710
Memory 8GB
Disk 750GB+24GB SSD (I'll probably ask them to at least make it 1TB)
DVDRW
15Wide Full-HD
Graphic GTX850
Webcam
Windows 8.1

(Price ~8,000 Swedish kronas ~= 1,000USD, could go up to about 10,000 Swedish krona, but don't mind saving a little if this ones is good)


The things I would like input on would be:
-Am I making a big mistake somewhere?
-How would this computer play some game (some example of popular games like Star Craft/Dota/Skyrim/Civilization/Fallout would be fine).
-How would it compare to my current computer (that despite some age I'm still very satisfied with):


Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
Memory 8192MB RAM
Disk 150GB SSD + 500GB
Display 1680 x 1050
Graphic NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570
Windows 7


Thanks in Advance!

Looks good however hopefully the 24GB SSD is a typo and you really meant 240GB

The hardware is plenty for the games you listed.

Only concern i would have is how long it will run away from an outlet as for most laptops I have seen that are gaming laptops require an outlet nearby as for when the gaming starts the battery goes on a heavy drain cycle. You might only be looking at 1 hr to 1.5 hrs away from an outlet when gaming with full charge.

Plan of purchase of two batteries.

Have you already got it?
What kind of games do you have in mind?
The laptop looks nice, though the quality of the display is unclear to me - can you provide some link to the laptop?
