I want a nice gaming laptop (PC Savvy people please halp!)

800-1200 is far from top notch budget. On the bright side for that kind of money you can get asus ROG laptop (ROG = Republic of gamers). Check their offers in you local area. I am sure you will find something for that kind of cash. You can check for review and GPU performance on http://www.notebookcheck.net/.

Ah. I'm not all that great with tech specs, lol. But I absolutely love the new laptop I bought a couple weeks back. So far it's been able to handle everything I play, but I haven't played anything like GTAV. I spent a little less than $700 on it, and from what I've gathered this laptop goes on sale a lot from Lenovo's website, so if you don't see a discount at the time of ordering you may can wait for a new discount or contact support and they may offer you a discount (they offered this to me when I contacted them).

:P Like I said, I'm no expert on specs but I primarily got this laptop for work and to handle some games.

BlueDahlia has a good laptop over there but if you wanna go a bit over that, I recommend the Lenovo Y50-70.
It goes for around 1000$ but has great hardware.
Intel i7 processor, 8Gb RAM, nVidia GTX 860M 4GB graphics card. This baby can run Witcher 3-level games with no problems.
Only downside is the display, which could be nicer as far as colors and brightness goes.

tf I was buying a gaming laptop I would buy this

Also, tomorrow is Prime Day just remember...so if you have Amazon Prime you may find a steal.

Rob a bank?
Rob Gabe... or make HL3 ;)

Assuming you live in the states, you can get a Sager NP8651 (Clevo P650SE) for around $1180. It's the U.S. version of the #1 "lightweight gaming" laptop on notebookcheck.net.

It also comes with a 970M which is significantly better than the 860M those other laptops come with. On GTA V high settings it's a difference of about 30 FPS.
