i plan on buying a laptop for gaming/college. i don't know what kind of games i will be playing, but i want to be able to play some games like counterstrike, maybe fear, and other fps games. I am not too worried about max settings, but i just want to know if this laptop configuration will be good enough. i am willing to spend about 2.3k max (edit: with printer and portable mouse and carrying case included). If you have any suggestions on other laptops, please let me know.

the main things i want are:
intell t7700 processor
about 200 gigs at 7200rpm
2 gig ram
webcam / mic
enough battery life for normal computing in college setting
microsoft word/exel/powerpoint
