It's not a problem.
Seems like a decent laptop to me. The specs are good and will handle anything you throw at it, but I don't see any video card specs so as far as gaming, it would depend largely on how much video ram it boasts.
It has an onboard audio card, 24 bit probably, but if you're planning on doing recording, you'll want to get an external audio card anyway for input options.
The hard drive isn't the fastest at 5400 RPMs, but whether that will affect you will depend on what you're planning on using the computer for. Plenty enough storage though.

Ultimately it all comes down to what you plan on doing with it. If you just plan on surfing the web and listening to music, those specs are overkill and you could get away with paying less for something more reasonable for your needs. If you're planning on doing some basic recording, you could get away with getting something with a little less beef and using the money you save to buy an external audio card suited for recording and you'll be better off. For gaming, your focus should be on the graphics card mainly, but the rest of those specs would do fine.
