Help with Laptop for college.

  • So I just started college and am looking for a nice laptop to buy for both college work but also for gaming. I have about a 1200$ budget. Right now this is the specs of the computer i am looking at, will include upgrades if i am thinking of that also.

    Intel Core i7-3610QM 2.3GHz Processor with Turbo Boost Technology up to 3.3GHz

    750GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive (i am also thinking about getting a OCZ Vertex Plus R2 120GB 2.5" 120GB SATA 2 SSD as a boot drive since the laptop I am looking at has support for 2 internal hard drives)

    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M W/ 2GB Video Ram

    From reviews I have heard the wireless card in it isn't very powerful so if anyone could tell me if this one is good (Zonet ZEW1542 802.11n Wireless Cardbus) or if you could suggest one would be awesome.

    If you could tell me what you think about this build and make any suggestions on what I should/shouldn't get would be great.

    Thanks
