It depends on what you want to do. For gaming.. they're really good.
But for stable workstations.. stay away from heavily overclocked machines.

I have the very machine of which you speak, Windows 7 64-Bit, 16 GB of RAM, with a 500 GB SSD C:\Drive and a 1.5 TB storage drive (photos and such), with a 3 TB external USB hard drive (mainly photographs). I use LR5/PS CC 2014 and a ton of filters, and do a LOT of PP work. It's the fastest machine I've ever used, and very reliable.

ASUS G75VW-DS72 17.3-Inch Laptop (Black),
•Intel Core i7-3610QM Processor 2.3GHz
•16 GB SO-DIMM RAM
•750GB 7200rpm Hard Drive + 256GB Solid State Drive
•17.3-Inch Full-HD LED Screen, Nvidia GTX 670M
•Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

If you're you intend to use this for PP work, I highly recommend the SSD drive. I had a Samsung 500GB SSD installed in a Lenovo Laptop for around $500.00 installed.
