Buying A Laptop

Alrighty then. So I'm selling my desktop and purchasing a laptop because APPARENTLY, according to the parents, we're moving to France for a year(DONT FUCKING ASK WHY, AND NO I DONT WANT ANY FUCKING ESCARGO), and lugging around my PC would be a bit of a hassle. I'll be wanting to do some gaming with this laptop, and since I wont be upgrading for a while, I thought I should probably get something rather powerful.
So I went to the dell website and went through the customize your own process.

Below is the laptop that I intend to buy, it should be $1,279 canadian.
Do you think this is a good choice, and a good deal for its price?
