    The graphics card is no for gaming. Instead I would suggest you Lenovo Ideapad Y570 08623TU 15.6-Inch Laptop

    2nd generation Intel Core™ i7-2670QM processor

    Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

    NVIDIA GeForce GT555M Discrete Graphics

    Every thing looks good except the graphic card , what's mention is the shared video memory but not the dedicated video memory is what is used for gaming, run dxdiag and see what the dedicated video memory is or system info

    It's not great, you can play some games, but not on decent quality settings. I would recommend a desktop for gaming, you could get a good one for £300 if you build it your self, however for £350 you can get a fairly decent one of ebay.
