Build a desktop instead of buying a laptop.

I would agree with Serona, if you want to play games, build a desktop. But if you REALLY want a laptop, then be prepared to part with some good $. I've also seen significant user complaints about failures with 'gaming' spec'ed laptops, seems to be heat issues.

What they said. If you can avoid buying a laptop for gaming, do so. They cost too much, they will never be as powerful as a desktop, and they are unusable as a laptop as they will burn your lap off and make you sweat bullets.
So don't buy one unless you are a road warrior, and even then I'd recommend buying a micro atx sized desktop to carry around with you since that's how you'll find yourself using the laptop after a few days.

That said, I did have an Asus G50 or whatever model it was and if you were to go that route I'd second Rogean's recommendation. Although it could heat a room, it never gave me any trouble.
