Without a doubt, you will want a dedicated graphics card for playing games. 

 

 

Looks like the AMD Radeon HD 8400 Graphics is an integrated GPU. You will want a discrete video card (seperate from CPU) if you want to do any gaming.

What I'm running on now is this:

HP Envy 17

core i7-4700mq

8gb ram (expandable to 16gb)

blu ray drive

windows 8.1

17.3" HD LeD display

Geforce GT 740M (w/ intel graphics 4600 integrated)

1TB hdd

 

While I'm not sure it can run all the games you mentioned, I'm definitely having a good experience with it.
