Is this passable for casual gaming

 [HP Pavilion 17-e016dx (ecx-Bes-US-ecx_2287004) AMD Quad-Core A8-Series APU with AMD Radeon HD 8550G Graphics 17.3inch 4GB RAM 750GB HD Windows 8 ]

I'm not too sure about hardware but it might be worthwhile to me to get into <3
While usually I'm a console gamer I do enjoy my MMO's and TF2 (I don't plan on going to CoD/BF/Halo on PC but most F2P (LoL, Nexon Games etc.)

I can play Most Nexon Games at a minimum of 30 FPS usually higher. What do you guys think?

Definitely passable for gaming. The 17 inch screen will look great, and a Radeon HD 8550 is nothing to scoff at. You should be fine.

Though, I suggest you try to get an i5 or i7 Intel CPU. AMD is lagging a lot behind in CPUs lately. Today's games also use a lot of CPU, not just GPU. e.g. I used to have problems with previous AMD CPU laptops where the frame rate would drop only for a short moment which indicates a CPU overhead at that moment. My new i7 laptop works great on the other hand (I have an HD 7500 I think).
