For $800 go for something like this.

CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K
Mobo: Asrock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3
RAM: G.Skill-NT 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3-1333
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB
GPU: 1GB AMD Radeon HD6950
Case: Antec 100
PSU: Antec Neo Eco 520C
ODD: LiteOn DVD burner
CPU HSF: Coolermaster Universal Hyper 212+

For $1500

CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K
Mobo: Asrock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3
RAM: G.Skill-NT 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3-1333
SSD: Crucial M4 128GB
HDD: Samsung EcoGreen F4 2TB
GPU1: VTX3D 2GB AMD Radeon HD6950

Case: Coolermaster HAF912 Advanced

Lazy atm, got the specs straight off whirlpool. You live in America so parts would be cheaper, so you may be able to squeeze in some better parts like a 2600K, better ram, or an lc hsf.

Laptops have relatively low use for gaming and such.

They overheat, consume massive battery, and usually gaming laptops are a little too big to carry around everywhere.

Anything laptops can do, desktops do better. Added that i hardly take my laptop anywhere anymore.

I know laptops are irrelevant. I'm just stating that my cousin has a $6000 laptop that his friend built him. I'm getting quotes for towers.

Current PC:Newegg.com - TOSHIBA Qosmio X305-Q706 NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo P8400(2.26GHz) 17.0" Wide SXGA+ 4GB Memory DDR3 1066 320GB HDD 7200rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA SLI Dual GeForce 9800M GTS

The most bang for the buck comes from building your own machine. If you're weary about doing that, you shouldn't be. The first PC I ever built is the machine I'm using right now.
