Will my Moviola work with Premiere?

Just kidding.

I'm not very computer savvy though. My old computer died and I need a new one that is compatible with Premiere. The good folks at Best Buy know their stuff when it comes to gaming but I'm not sure they are super knowledgeable about CS. They thought having a good video card would be important for editing. Will this gaming laptop run Premiere just fine? If not, any suggestions in that price range?

It will run it fine, but there's more to it...really depends on what you do on the computer.
 
More than enough for that kind of work especially if it's all lower resolution (like your 720p above), has very little grading/effects, and/or you use proxies/playback at a lower resolution in the software.

With that said, you could get a much better computer for a bit more money ($500-$1000) if the budget is there.
 
The video card is VERY important and the onboard processing makes a huge difference to multiple video streams being handled. My main editor was actually great till I started doing these 40 small windows zoom type reproductions where there really are 40 different tracks all running at the same time, and my pretty powerful PC ground to a halt. A new machine, with (because I ordered the wrong processor) a slower processor, but with a good video card ran these projects perfectly.

The critical thing though is that the card MUST be on Premiere's list of compatible cards, which is on the adobe website. If you have a great gaming card, if it is not on the list - Premiere will not use the cards features and will try to do the processing on the normal CPU.
