I am thinking anywhere from 1000-1500.


There was a brief discussion of gaming laptops in this price range in the PC thread (page 847), and this $1399 MSI laptop was linked: LINK

It has the best GPU for the price range, and that's what you need to pay the most attention to, with all else being secondary. RAM is unimportant as long as there is at least 8GB (and that's pretty standard in gaming laptops). There is a 15" version of that same laptop for the same price as well.

If you want to go cheap, 860M GPU minimum if you want any real longevity out of the machine.

Avoid the Lenovos with SLI, but this one seems OK for the price: LINK

If you get a gaming laptop, get something to alleviate the heat your legs will be subjected to.

What would you recommend for a $3000 budget? I was thinking Alienware, but I have no idea if those are worth the price.
