I hate to disappoint, but that is not listed as a gaming laptop, for many non-Amazon sites. GTX950M 2GB DDR3 graphics is using technology a few years back, just labeled with a newer number. Should at least use GDDR5 type memory, I'd personally recommend 3 GB or more. The CPU is the power conserving type, so it may work, but the RAM is kind of low, 8 GB, yeah it will start the application T:ANE, but will it be fun to use, not frustration and waiting? That also does not have an SSD, which is fine, but again do you want to actually use and enjoy or do you have a lot of time and patience? You would be better off with an Asus ROG (Republic of Gaming) G751 series. First thing you will see, the ROG series has way better cooling solution, never overheats and actually will not burn your lap. Here's the defining picture that does it for me, and shows it is not a gaming laptop, look at the cooling slot on the side:
Now compare that to the Asus ROG G751 series, take notice that it has TWO huge exhausts and shoots them out the back, not struggling with a single slim side slot:
The pricing will only cost about $300-$400 more for the lower level model, and still be way better, in my opinion. Yeah, Alienware and MSI do make great gaming laptops too, but I have this, so that is why I presented this info.
