I am looking at purchasing a gaming lap top for my kid. I really don't know much about computers. Basically he plays World of Warcraft and more than likely will be into Star Wars: Old republic. Would like to run games at max settings. So far this is what I have. Any advice would be great.

If you want to do high-level gaming, this is not the system for it. Look at the Alienware M17x.
The Studio 16 is a fine mid-level multimedia machine - it will not do what you want.
