My possible laptop spec

[shogun1904]

Below is the custom laptop I am considering ordering. Can people take a look and give their opinions. I will be using the laptop mainly for gaming Football manager primarily but will also be dabbling with the likes of Skyrim, Fallout 3 and possibly 4. A few questions I have about the system.

1. I assume other than Fallout 4 this should handle the games very well?
2. Will a 240GB SSD be enough for my operating system and a couple of games?
3. All my movies/pictures etc will be stored on the secondary drive but would like my programs on the SSD. Is this the best way to do it?
4. Also I won't have a disc drive but notice that this laptop comes with the operating system on DVD. Is there a way I can save it to a USB stick or something instead?

Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

The SSD/HDD config you have is fine, 240GB will house the OS and a few games. You can create a USB for installation. What is your overall budget? An i5 CPU is fine for games and 8GB RAM is enough. If you saved money there could you go for a different model and get the 970 GPU as that would make a difference for gaming.

I was looking to keep it comfortably under £1000. Will the i7 and 16GB ram not give me much improvement on something like Football manager? I know the RAM can be upgraded later.
