Gonna be studying abroad and need a laptop for mostly 1 year, but obviously want it last as long as possible. Gonna be doing a little gaming (dota2 and hon mainly) diablo 3 when its out, maybe some other stuff, dont need crazy settings. Obviously work, programming/maybe some photoshop/ word and general office / HTML CSS / some movies and music

Have £600 absolute maximum! roughly 940$.

Been looking at this so far:
Compal

15.6" Matte HD LED Widescreen (1366x768)

Intel Core i5 Dual Core Mobile Processor i5-2450M (2.50GHz) 3MB

4GB SAMSUNG 1333MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (2 x 2GB)

nVIDIA® GeForce® GT 540M - 2GB DDR3 Video RAM - DirectX® 11

250GB SERIAL ATA II 2.5" HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE (5,400rpm)

8x SATA DVD±R/RW/Dual Layer (+ 24x CD-RW)

What do you guys recommend, is it worth going i7? or perhaps choosing one with a different graphics card?
 
get one with a GTX560m or higher for a really good gaming experience.

the one you listed will perform at a so-so level in gaming.
