Not well, no. You will be frustrated with the video performance.
You'd be better off buying a desktop system, not a notebook. Notebooks cost about twice what a desktop system does, for equivalent performance. If you can't afford the 9300 or XPS Gen 2, buy an 8400 system - $1000 will buy you a heck of a lot more gaming performance in an 8400 that it will in a notebook.
If you do go with a notebook and took the standard 1-year warranty, are you prepared for a $700 repair if the mainboard dies after 12 months? If not, upgrade to a minimum of a 3-year warranty on ANY notebook you buy.
