Purchasing a laptop, I need some imput

Sooo im heading off to college in August and I need a computer for college. I have money to buy the best laptop out there but I dont think that would be a wise way to spend my money heading into college. I will need it for writing papers and whatnot, but I currently (and will continue) am just playing World of Warcraft, using ventrilo, running itunes, and the internet when I am on. WoW does not require much to play so that is why im looking at the laptops I am.

I have been researching laptops for about a week and learned more about video cards/ram/processors than I have ever known my whole life lol. Sooo I am currently looking at this Toshiba laptop which I will link at the end. It seems like it should be able to do everything I need to do, with only 1 thing that worries me. The video card is a NVIDIA® GeForce® 310M. I know it will be able to run WoW but im concerned if it will be outdated quickly or not. I dont know much about video cards so if you have any imput that would help. Also any general information or recommendations you can provide would help me out too. I am open to looking at any laptops you guys suggest. My price range goes up to about...1200 dollars maximum. Thanks guys.
