Also is there a difference if I get it from amazon or steam because it costs $15 more from steam.
Clock speed means little to nothing without number of cores (and not too much more with it). Do you have the i7 or the i5 or i3? Either way, you look to be fine, as you have a dedicated graphics card that has a higher number than the one in my desktop does, and mine rips through the game. Granted, yours is in a laptop, so make sure you keep it cool with airflow. RAM is fine, anything 4 or over is about all you need.

Just make sure you set the power options to high performance, its easy to forget and it doesn't limit the power your computer will pull.

And Steam is a DD, Direct Download, so you'll get it as fast as you can download 15+ GB of data. You'll have to ship Amazon, so factor that in, and you may want to look at buying it at a local store. You'll probably get it the fastest (as fast as you can drive to a store), and they may have it cheap or something. Plus, you'll be supporting your local economy, even if it is just at a WalMart.
