Well if you actually intend on gaming on the thing I don't recommend a mac book pro. You'll have a tiny library to pick from considering almost no games come out for Apples operating systems. More and more are. Like say Dues Ex or the new bioshock. Wow, Starcraft and valve tittles. You'll get some of the games, but most still aren't made for the platform as it's currently one of the lowest used platforms for computer gaming. Hell I personally would never recommend a mac anything, simply due to how much they are over priced for what you receive. They have great customer service I'll give them that but when it comes to cost/performance and how limiting the system actually is for gaming they just don't seem worth it.
How much for the macbook pro? I'm wondering because usually they are expensive and you can Get a lenovo ideapad with two gtx 750m's for under $1000. Which is far better then the single 650m in the macbook pro. and your going to be extremely disappointed when you realize your 256 gb SSD is far too small to actually hold anything. Most games AAA game are around 20gb, and HD movies are getting close to that as well. Sorry I know I sound negative towards your buying decision but you can get a far better machine then the one you posted the specs for most likely for far cheaper.
Edit: I just looked up the price of the version you want but with the 750m instead and it's $1,500 which is nuts for what they are giving you. I'm assuming the price is only 100 to 200 off considering it's last years model but still you can get a better machine that will play a larger variety of games, then a macbook pro will for cheaper.
