So Sandy Bridge(new Intel processor series) will be back in a couple of weeks. You will notice them by the i7/i5/i3 tag followed by 4 digits and a letter(s) when the some out. i.e i7-2720qm . These 2nd generation "core i" processors are leaps and bounds better than the 1st generation "Core i" processors in speed, effeciency (turbo boost 2.0 anyone?) etc. Also they are cheaper w/ better graphics cards. Before Sandy Bridge was recalled for the motherboards having a rebelious sata controller, I saw some really nice systems on Amazon from ASUS for really cheap.(in comparison to what you have linked).
tl:dr -- Wait 2 weeks and you will be a much happier gamer.
EDIT: Make sure you get yourself an extended warranty. Its always worth it on a laptop imho.
