Is the Acer Predator any good?

Thinking of buying the Acer Predator AG3-605-UR39 off of Newegg for $1059.99 and was just wondering a few things. I was going to purchase a iBUYPOWER computers and I am easily manipulated review wise and some reviews I read about that company weren't so great, and I couldn't find any accurate ones on Acer and more specifically this computer. I plan on playing World of Warcraft, Minecraft, League of Legends, and Hearthstone and maybe some more on here as time progresses, but considering a new expansion for WoW comes out sometime this year I'm wondering if this will still be able to run it well. My main question though still is Acer a reliable company? Will their computer break/overheat/glitch/not run well? And is this computer good for those games and just good in general? Here is a link to it- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883103853 and if you can't or don't want to click it here are the specs:

Form- Mid-tower
Processor- Intel Core i7-4770 3.4GHz (64-bit, quad-core)
Memory- 8GB (4GBx2)
RAM- 1TB
Graphics Card- NVIDIA GeForce GTX770 2GB GDDR5
Power Supply- 500W

Also, 1 more question, would I be able to replace the hard drive just by switching it out with a higher one for say, a 2TB hard drive? Would it have to be the same company orrrr what's the deal there cause I don't really want a 1TB hard drive. So please include what I would need to do to switch the Hard drive out too or if I could just add a SSD and keep the 1TB drive, but would I need to change anything for that either lol? Thanks!
Added (1). Forgot to mention 1 thing, I am probably going to upgrade the case fans to Corsair Air Series AS SP120 PWM Quiet Edition High Static Pressure Fan (If theres enough room I am going to add 2). Would this upgrade also be alright? I mean like with the motherboard (Motherboard isn't provided on newegg so I don't know what kind it is so if you have any knowledge on that it would help) and the power supply? And are those good rated fans because it gets pretty hot up here in the summertime and I don't want a expensive rig like this to overheat!
Added (2). Sorry I meant storage not RAM if that's even not the same thing
