Best Gaming Laptop for the Price

Because of what I do, I move around a lot. Every week im out of my house but I still have that desire to game since I still have off time. I am looking for a gaming laptop, however with the budget of $1600, no more. I am not sure what to get, but it needs lots of memory and a good graphics card. Currently I was looking at http://www.ibuypower.com/ibp/s...figurator.aspx?mid=250

Does anyone know anything else that is better then that in my price range?
 
You could try the Asus F3: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...0163%2CN82E16834220162

Comes with the slower 8600M GS instead of the GT found in that IBUYPOWER notebook. BTW, that looks like the Asus C90. You can probably buy the barebones and configure it yourself: http://1toppc.com/Merchant2/me...PROD&Product_Code=C90S Of course, the C90/the notebook you linked too isn't the greatest laptop because it is using a desktop processor.

There is also the S96S (8600MGS) barebones: http://www.milestonepc.com/sta...7_280&products_id=1515

Good choices, I would add the Compal IFL90 into the mix as well

Keep in mind the C90 you listed in the OP has a huge fan at the back because of its use of desktop processors (and also has a lot less battery life). I've read that it isn't loud because of the fan but it does kick out a lot of heat
